Planet Aurora Astro-Bubble

How fun is this?! “Here’s a panoramic image from the aurora on October 14,” wrote Swedish astrophotographer Göran Strand. “I’ve made a small world trapped inside a bubble floating in space. And a lonely photographer is trying to capture the ongoing aurora with his camera.”

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen photographers create their own little worlds from panoramic images (see here and here). Here’s a tutorial on how to do this.
