Jupiter and the North­ern lights

Am­a­teur pho­tog­ra­pher Gísli Már Árna­son cap­tured these beau­ti­ful im­ages of Jupiter trav­el­ling across the night sky ac­com­pa­nied by a stun­ning dis­play of North­ern Lights.

The pho­tos, which amount to 450 al­to­gether, were taken in the space of one hour be­tween 22:30 and 23:30 on Tues­day night. The re­sult was this thirty sec­ond video.

Jupiter is the largest planet in our so­lar sys­tem and is one of the most promi­nent stars on the night sky. Only the sun, moon and Venus are brighter.
