Pictured above is an aurora located near Fairbanks in northern Alaska which has taken the unusual form of, what is being called, a jumping dog. The photo was taken through a wide-angled lens during a 15 second exposure, coincidentally capturing a variety of familiar constellations and sky objects. From left to right, on the bottom Mars can be seen by the dog's hind legs and Procyon and Betelgeuse are visible near the front legs. Directly above the dog's tail is a perfect image of Ursa Major, otherwise known as the Big Dipper, and Auriga above his head. Other noticeable artifacts include Arcturus, Jupier and Auriga.
