This is the APOD from March 26, 2013. It was taken in Iceland and shows many different phenomenon. It includes beautiful waterfalls, stars, auroras, and the comet PANSTARRS. The auroras were caused by a recent M1 solar flare and a coronal mass ejection. PANSTARRS can be seen just above the horizon on the left side of this image. When it passed by, it was more visible in other locations.
