Astrophotographer John Chumack captured an amazing and unusual photograph of an aurora. This photograph was taken near Fairbanks, Alaska during his annual aurora tour. The aurora's shape stands out the most as it looks like a leaping dog complete with ears, a head, and even a curly tail. Using a wide-angle lens coupled with 15 seconds of exposure he captured not only this unique aurora, but also various highlights of the night sky. Jupiter can be seen through the dog's front legs and Mars can be seen between the dog's hind legs.Other notable features include the Big Dipper, Betelgeuse, Arcturus, and Capella.
