Good afternoon, Rallypoint, and welcome to the October 30th edition of Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD): "Night on a Spooky Planet." Is this one of the 2005 photos the Huygens probe captured from the surface of Saturn's largest moon, Titan? Some of you may know we don't have to travel quite that far to see strange things. This 2013 image of Hverir in northeastern Iceland certainly could be from another celestial body, but it is from right here on our own home planet. Also known as Hverarönd, this region is noted for having an ochre colored landscape, steam rising from numerous fumaroles (like those shown here), and boiling mud pools spread across a moon-like terrain. Toss in an active aurora, and you've got a set for either a sci-fi movie or...Halloween?

APOD "Explanation: What spooky planet is this? Planet Earth of course, on a dark and stormy night in 2013 at Hverir, a geothermally active area along the volcanic landscape in northeastern Iceland. Triggered by solar activity, geomagnetic storms produced the auroral display in the starry night sky. The ghostly towers of steam and gas are venting from fumaroles and danced against the eerie greenish light. For now, auroral apparitions are increasing as our Sun approaches a maximum in its 11 year solar activity cycle. And pretty soon, ghostly shapes may dance in your neighborhood too."
October 30 is All Saints Eve and those of us who have faith in Christ do not have a spirit of fear
2 Timothy 1:7 God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and self-control
Classic IV - Spooky
Rest in peace Dennis Yost
