Stunning view of the Perseid meteor shower over Hahn's Peak, Colorado, with an unexpected aurora borealis display caused by a coronal mass ejection from the Sun. The vibrant green and purple hues of the aurora contrast beautifully with the bright streak of a meteor. A breathtaking celestial event captured in a single frame.
