Colorful Aurora over New Zealand

有時，夜空充滿驚喜。就拿上週某天晚上紐西蘭南島林迪斯山口上空的夜空來說吧。 夜空並沒有像往常一樣平靜，滿天繁星不斷閃爍，而是出現了一個繁忙而又充滿活力的夜空。突然間，到處可見紅色極光、綠色柵欄極光、紅色 SAR 弧、STEVE、流星和月亮。這些天文現象比銀河系中心及其兩個衛星星系（LMC 和 SMC）都要耀眼。所有這些都是在 5 分鐘內曝光 28 次後拍攝的，這幅全景圖就是由這些照片組成的。 上週，極光照亮了許多天空，因為來自太陽的日冕物質拋射向我們的地球釋放了大量粒子，在通常遠離地球兩極的緯度上形成了五彩繽紛的天空。 更廣泛地說，本月的夜空還有其他驚喜，不僅有極光，還有彗星。 拼圖挑戰每日天文拼圖
原文：Sometimes the night sky is full of surprises. Take the sky over Lindis Pass, South Island, New Zealand one-night last week. Instead of a typically calm night sky filled with constant stars, a busy and dynamic night sky appeared. Suddenly visible were pervasive red aurora, green picket-fence aurora, a red SAR arc, a STEVE, a meteor, and the Moon. These outshone the center of our Milky Way Galaxy and both of its two satellite galaxies: the LMC and SMC. All of these were captured together on 28 exposures in five minutes, from which this panorama was composed. Auroras lit up many skies last week, as a Coronal Mass Ejection from the Sun unleashed a burst of particles toward our Earth that created colorful skies over latitudes usually too far from the Earth's poles to see them. More generally, night skies this month have other surprises, showing not only auroras -- but comets. Jigsaw Challenge: Astronomy Puzzle of the Day
