在佛羅里達的天空上，北極光出現了！其實，這是一次特別的表現，在11月11日的星空中，一顆北牛頓流星劃過了海灘上空的星空。每年這個時候，北牛頓流星雨都會為我們帶來許多美麗的流星。不過，數位相機也拍攝到了神秘的北極光，這種現象通常只會在地球的高緯度地區出現。北極光又叫做aurora borealis，那是最近由強大的地磁風暴引起的廣泛極光活動的一部分。在過去的幾天裡，因為多次強烈的日冕物質拋射和激烈的太陽活動，導致了這些奇特的天空景象。
原文:
Northern lights have come to Florida skies. In fact, the brilliant streak of a Northern Taurid meteor flashes through the starry night sky above the beach in this sea and skyscape, captured from Shired Island, Florida on November 11. Meteors from the annual Northern Taurid meteor shower are expected this time of year. But the digital camera exposure also records the shimmering glow of aurora, a phenomenon more often seen from our fair planet’s higher geographical latitudes. Also known as aurora borealis, these northern lights are part of recent, wide spread auroral activity caused by strong geomagnetic storms. In the last few days, stormy spaceweather has been triggered by multiple Earth impacting coronal mass ejections and intense solar activity.
