"I was indeed shocked to see this," Shari Hunt, a medical researcher and part-time astrophotography tutor who took the image, told Space.com in an email."I was there in Death Valley for night photography and with the storm in California, we had clouds almost every morning blocking the galactic core. This was our last morning to shoot.
"I thought I left my camera on auto white balance or something went wrong," Hunt recalled."I had never seen an airglow like that! So, I took another shot and told my friend who was also there to check with her camera." The two took repeated shots, all of which revealed the eerie glow that on the right-hand side of the image gradually gave way to light pollution above Las Vegas. The single sharp spot of light on the right is a car that appeared on a local road, Hunt said.
"After looking in post and seeing the changing or dancing, I knew we had captured the aurora," said Hunt."We checked the aurora forecast as well, which also helped confirm it!" Astrophotographer Shari Hunt was surprised to see aurora in her photographs of the Milky Way taken in California's Death Valley.
