一顆宇宙塵粒以比落葉更快的速度穿過高層大氣,形成了這道絢麗的流星條紋。 2 月 8 日晚,在那不勒斯灣的度假勝地卡普里島拍攝到了這一奇妙的夜空美景。從海灣對面望去,相機朝向東北方向的那不勒斯和周邊城市的燈光。流星劃過地平線,恰好在維蘇威火山的輪廓上方結束。維蘇威火山是地球上最著名的火山之一,公元 79 年的一次噴發摧毀了龐貝城。
原文:A cosmic dust grain plowing through the upper atmosphere much faster than a falling leaf created this brilliant meteor streak. In a serendipitous moment, the sublime night sky view was captured from the resort island of Capri, in the Bay of Naples, on the evening of February 8. Looking across the bay, the camera faces northeast toward the lights of Naples and surrounding cities. Pointing toward the horizon, the meteor streak by chance ends above the silhouette of Mount Vesuvius. One of planet Earth's most famous volcanos, an eruption of Mount Vesuvius destroyed the city of Pompeii in 79 AD.
