A bright green spiral aurora is seen in a break in the clouds before a purple background. The foreground contains green grassland and a circular lake.

@APoD This makes me think of The Grinch, and I'm not sure why.

Wow. Even without the Aurora it would be magnificent!

@craige @APoD After recent events, you won't see an Aurora shaped like a Fedora any time soon.

Besides, it's green and looks like a gecko's tail #opensuse

@jgkuper @APoD @debian rotated, not mirrored, actually (though in this orientation it looks a bit like the @ symbol)
