I’m Icelandic and I’ve never
a) seen the Northern Lights appear while the sun is out
b) seen them form that shape, which seems off based on the angle
c) seen them in summer, which is when this seems to have been taken.
So yeah, my bullshit detector is going off right now.
Well damn, I’m humbled. Thanks for posting the link, I really didn’t think that was real. The picture looks fake to me but I’m not gonna pretend I know better than NASA.

I’m sure NASA will be interested to hear from you.

Here it is on the photographer’s Flickr. I think it says 6s exposure, so the photo doesn’t look like seen through the naked eye.
