Some terrific Aurora Australis photos for your Tuesday! Above, this amazing photo, found via Discovery News’ Big Pic, shows a ribbon of green snaking across the planet, while below, this photo by astronaut Doug Wheelock has a more bluish, more dragon-shaped aurora (in my opinion.)

A breath-taking masterpiece being painted in the sky over the South Pole.
