ENTERING. Add your image in a new post below. Make sure to change your post title to a name for your picture (click the "Go Advanced" button). Only one entry per person. For help posting images, go here.
VOTING. When this competition reaches 10 entries, a poll will be automatically added and any member may then vote. After 2 days, voting ends and the winner is determined.
Once voting begins, a new competition will be automatically started.
Good luck!
Notes: Please do not request feedback or comment on other images until after voting has closed, as it could be unfair to other entrants. Photos must be your own, and never entered into one of our prior competitions. We also ask that only recently taken or edited photos be used as entries (in the spirit of motivating everyone to continually improve).
PS: Make sure to also vote on the previous competition here.

Re: Science from the edge of the Earth
Stunning photo! Beautiful sky!!!
Can you tell which atoms are the ones emitting the Australius Borealus colors when you see them - are there specific emission spectra corresponding to this or that atom, and how does the correlate to color temperature? Is there any kind of correspondence between the energetic particles hitting the atmosphere, and being channeled to the poles by the earth's magnetic field, and the more conventional idea of emission spectra for black body radiation?
Just curious!
