有一顆特別的彗星名字叫做 Comet Lemmon!最近,Comet Lemmon 的尾巴發生了一些神奇的變化。這是因為太陽在不斷吹出風,那就是太陽風!太陽風是一種有電的粒子,最近變得特別強大,還會出現一些能量爆發,這些都會影響到 Comet Lemmon 自己發出的粒子。結果,Comet Lemmon 現在有了漂亮的藍色尾巴,看起來既美麗又神秘。最近,有位天文學家在西班牙的 Alfacar 拍下了一張很特別的照片,展示了這顆彗星在太陽系內的好多變化。不過,隨著時間的推移,Comet Lemmon 正在慢慢遠離地球和太陽,回到外層的太陽系中去喔!
原文:
What has happened to Comet Lemmon’s tail? The answer is blowing in the wind — the wind from the Sun in this case. This continuous outflow of charged particles from the Sun has been quite variable of late, as the Sun emits bursts of energy, CMEs, that push out and deflect charged particles emitted by the comet itself. The result is a blue hued ion tail for Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) that is not only impressively intricate but takes some unusual turns. This long-duration composite image taken from Alfacar, Spain last month captured this inner Solar System ionic tumult. Comet Lemmon is now fading as it heads out away from the Earth and Sun and back into the outer Solar System.
