APOD 1.6 Goat Aurora Over Greenland

http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap121003.html
In this picture it is clearly visible that there is a large aurora in the sky. This aurora, according to veteran sky enthusiests, is one of the brightest, most colorful, and most fast changing ever. A goat's head is apparently visible in the middle and that's why it is called the "Goat Aurora". In my opinion it looks more like a dragon's head and not much of a goat at all, but it is still evident some animal's head can be identified in the aurora. This is the most fascinating aurora I've seen yet and it makes me really want to go see one. I hope to travel North sometime to see one in my lifetime.
