Auroral Hummingbird over Norway
Is this the largest hummingbird ever? Although it may look like a popular fluttering nectarivore, what is pictured is actually a beautifully detailed and colorful aurora, complete with rays reminiscent of feathers. This aurora was so bright that it was visible to the unaided eye during blue hour -- just after sunset when the sky appears a darkening blue.

The only other link to OPs picture I saw was on a Spanish Twitter page that does astronomy tours.
I did find a random IG poster that has photos taken in Norway as well and there are some weird patterns I wouldn't have expected. https://www.instagram.com/p/DD47EBVS6jq/
A random pattern is likely, a pattern that looks like this, less so.
That's just my opinion anyway, but yeah. The fact that I cant find this on the supposed photographers website makes me suspicious.
