在這張來自瑞典瓦倫圖納的後半夜天景照片中,明亮的火星和更亮的木星在松樹上方緊緊相連。這張快照拍攝於 8 月 12 日的地磁暴期間,記錄了極光或北極光從畫面左側發出的光芒。當然,就在這一天,英仙座流星雨劃過地球的天空,這些塵埃來自流星雨的母體--週期性彗星斯威夫特-塔特爾。右上方的流星條紋是一顆英仙座流星以每秒約 60 公里的速度劃過大氣層。在地球的夜空中,明亮的昴宿星團在英仙座流星群下方閃耀,這也是眾所周知的。在希臘神話中,昴宿星團是天文巨人阿特拉斯和海母昴宿娥的七個女兒。昴宿星團中最亮的九顆恆星都以昴宿星團及其父母的名字命名。 相簿: 2024 年英仙座流星雨和極光
原文:Bright Mars and even brighter Jupiter are in close conjunction just above the pine trees in this post-midnight skyscape from Vallentuna, Sweden. Taken on August 12 during a geomagnetic storm, the snapshot records the glow of aurora borealis or northern lights, beaming from the left side of the frame. Of course on that date Perseid meteors rained through planet Earth's skies, grains of dust from the shower's parent, periodic comet Swift-Tuttle. The meteor streak at the upper right is a Perseid plowing through the atmosphere at about 60 kilometers per second. Also well-known in in Earth's night sky, the bright Pleides star cluster shines below the Perseid meteor streak. In Greek myth, the Pleiades were seven daughters of the astronomical titan Atlas and sea-nymph Pleione. The Pleiades and their parents' names are given to the cluster's nine brightest stars.
