Explanation: This well-composed composite panoramic view looks due south from Banks Peninsula near Christchurch on New Zealand's South Island. The base of a tower-like rocky sea stack is awash in the foreground, with stars of the Southern Cross at the top of the frame and planet Earth's south celestial pole near center. Still, captured on May 11, vibrant aurora australis dominate the starry southern sea and skyscape. The shimmering southern lights were part of extensive auroral displays that entertained skywatchers in northern and southern hemispheres around planet Earth, caused by intense geomagnetic storms. The extreme spaceweather was triggered by the impact of coronal mass ejections launched from powerful solar active region AR 3664.

As usual, it looks like a cheeseburger.
Is that a guy wearing a hat on the rock?
It looks like one of those pink hats that the crazy women protesters wear.
LOL, a vagina hat? could be.
I thought that was an elbow sticking out on the left, but maybe those are breasts.
and the figure looks like it’s in a kneeling position like Trump just won an election.
Outstanding. Iām angry with myself for missing them this time. Who knows, we may yet have another event.
