While braving the cold to watch the skies above northern Canada early one morning in 2013, a most unusual aurora appeared. The aurora definitely appeared to be shaped like something , but what? Two ghostly possibilities recorded by the astrophotographer were &#8220;witch&#8221; and &#8220;goddess of dawn&#8221;, but please feel free to suggest your own Halloween-enhanced impressions. Regardless of fantastical pareidolic interpretations, the pictured aurora had a typical green color and was surely caused by the scientifically commonplace action of high energy particles from space interacting with oxygen in Earth&#8217;s upper atmosphere. In the image foreground, at the bottom, is a frozen Alexandra Falls, while evergreen trees cross the middle. via NASA <a href=\"http:\/\/ift.tt\/2f4lSIh\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What does this aurora look like to you?
