Starship Asterisk*

Looks like Dumbledore and his phoenix overhead.

Hello there! I honestly think that the image looks like “Gandalf the White Wizard” 8-)
The image is simply breathtaking! Thank you so much for sharing it!

It’s the Virgin Mary and the Holy Spirit.

A person, possibly a woman, with a bird possibly a raven on or over their head. Possibly an apperation of significance to Native Americans/First Nations.

How about Medusa?

Now there's a cute kitten goblin! :D

Gotta be Santa's Sunday best beard! :D

Hello !

I, too, thought angels but then...thought of CS Lewis and the Space Trilogy and so I'll suggest eldila or oyeresu, or perhaps even The Old One, Maleldil, and The Third One ? I'm envisioning a third apparition in front of the large figure....
<G> The wonders of Creation !

I imagined the shape of an angel and a dove flying overhead,, :-)

It think the apparition looks like a lady falconer.

Phoenix and the Dementor

Woman with a pheasant flying right overhead

It looks like a phoenix carrying a lorax to me.

Archangel Aurora

Zeus with his Eagle? Not very Halloweenie, but I am an Australian anyway (though yes, Halloween has infiltrated Australia). The Eagle (on Zeus's shoulder) is really the defining thing, whether the rest looks like Zeus, maybe all his robes, is debatable.

[b] Explanation: [/b] What does this aurora look like to you? While braving the cold to watch the skies above northern [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada]Canada[/url] early one morning in 2013, a most unusual aurora appeared. The [url=https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/aurora/en/]aurora[/url] definitely appeared to be [url=https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap161023.html]shaped[/url] like [i]something[/i], but what? Two ghostly [url=http://blue-moon.ca/2013feb.html]possibilities recorded[/url] by the astrophotographer were "witch" and "goddess of dawn", but please [url=https://asterisk.apod.com/discuss_apod.php?date=231022]feel free to suggest[/url] your own [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/b4/aa/bc/b4aabcab1b37ac44839687b434e1d938.jpg]Halloween-enhanced[/url] impressions. Regardless of fantastical [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia]pareidolic[/url] interpretations, the pictured aurora had a [url=http://www.webexhibits.org/causesofcolor/4D.html]typical green[/url] color and was surely caused by the scientifically commonplace action of high-energy particles from space interacting with [url=http://periodic.lanl.gov/8.shtml]oxygen[/url] in [url=https://www.nasa.gov/image-article/earths-upper-atmosphere/]Earth's upper atmosphere[/url]. In the image foreground, at the bottom, is a frozen [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DioO92W6iaQ]Alexandra Falls[/url], while [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evergreen]evergreen trees[/url] cross the middle.
