從紐西蘭南島基督城附近的班克斯半島向南望去,這幅全景合成圖構圖精巧。前景是塔狀岩石海垛的基座,南十字星位於畫面頂部,地球的南天極靠近畫面中心。在 5 月 11 日拍攝的照片中,充滿活力的澳大利亞極光依然主宰著星光璀璨的南部海面和天空。這些閃爍的南極光是強烈地磁暴引發的大範圍極光現象的一部分,讓地球南北半球的天空觀測者大飽眼福。這種極端的太空天氣是由強大的太陽活動區域 AR 3664 發射的日冕物質拋射的影響引發的。 AuroraSaurus:報告您的極光觀測結果
原文:This well-composed composite panoramic view looks due south from Banks Peninsula near Christchurch on New Zealand's South Island. The base of a tower-like rocky sea stack is awash in the foreground, with stars of the Southern Cross at the top of the frame and planet Earth's south celestial pole near center. Still, captured on May 11, vibrant aurora australis dominate the starry southern sea and skyscape. The shimmering southern lights were part of extensive auroral displays that entertained skywatchers in northern and southern hemispheres around planet Earth, caused by intense geomagnetic storms. The extreme spaceweather was triggered by the impact of coronal mass ejections launched from powerful solar active region AR 3664. AuroraSaurus: Report your aurora observations
