APOD 4.6

Astrogropher John Chumack saw this unusual aurora while on his usual aurora tour with a group in Fairbanks, Alaska last month. It appeared to change shape into a jumping dog with a curly tail. He was able to capture the image with a 15-second exposure through a wide-angle lens. He also captured the background sky filled with familiar highlights. We can see planets Jupiter and Mars through the dog's apparent legs. Within a few minutes the dog morphed into other shapes.
