When the particles are swept towards the poles and react with ions in the atmosphere, the result creates Mother Nature's amazing light show as vivid swathes of bright colour shoot across the night sky.
当这些粒子被太阳风扫射向南北极并与大气层中的离子发生反应时,生动明亮光线会划过夜空,就像是自然精彩的灯光表演。
The most recent mass ejection of particles occurred when most of the U.S. was getting dark on a particularly clear night, leading to the spectacular light show witnesses in Washington D.C., Arkansas and Virginia.
最近一次的大规模粒子喷射现象发生时,美国大部分地区夜幕正在降临,夜空特别晴朗清澈,这使得华盛顿、阿肯色州和弗吉尼亚州的居民都能幸运地亲眼见证此次北极光视觉盛宴。
Amateur photographer Brian Emfinger was one of the stargazers who captured the rare occurrence after being alerted to the aurora show on SpaceWeather.com.
业余摄影师Brian Emfinger是这些幸运儿当中的一个。 在SpaceWeather.com网站上看到极光光临的通知后,他用相机捕捉到了这一次罕见的极光表演。
He said: “I ran out and put my camera out and immediately saw reddish aurora. I ran out into the field, and within a few minutes the aurora went crazy!”
他说道:“我跑出去,刚把相机拿出来就马上看到了红色的极光。我跑到空地上,几分钟内极光就疯狂地充满了整个天空。”
