The image captures the vibrant red and purple hues of the aurora, which is a result of the interaction between the Earth's magnetic field and the solar wind. The aurora is visible in the sky above a forested area, with the silhouettes of trees forming a backdrop. The sky is filled with stars, and the aurora appears to be a bright, glowing band of light stretching across the sky. The image is taken during nighttime, and the aurora is the main focus of the photograph.
