I’m sure NASA will be interested to hear from you.

Here it is on the photographer's Flickr. I think it says 6s exposure, so the photo doesn't look like seen through the naked eye.

Well damn, I'm humbled. Thanks for posting the link, I really didn't think that was real. The picture looks fake to me but I'm not gonna pretend I know better than NASA.

The beauty is the aurora overhead, here taking the form of a great green spiral, seen between picturesque clouds with the bright Moon to the side and stars in the background.
