In today's image, we see a 360 degree image, condensing the horizon to the little planet in the center of the image. Around that, we see an intense auroral display from a few weeks ago. Also noted in the image are the Big Dipper (at the top) and Jupiter and the Pleiades star cluster to the lower right.
