你見過美麗的樹木和五彩的極光交錯在一起的畫面嗎？有一位攝影師在冰島目睹了一個奇妙的時刻：一棵樹的黑色樹枝，正好和遠處閃爍的極光形成了一幅美麗的畫面。這個極光的光輝，讓他不禁想像這棵樹的樹葉上長滿了五顏六色的光！攝影師驚訝得呆住了，忘記了拍照。不過，他很快回過神來，抓住了這個令人驚嘆的瞬間。極光通常是由太陽系中的大規模爆炸引起的，這些高能電子會影響到離地面約150公里的地球大氣層。這個獨特的地球與天空的合作，在2017年3月的冰島被人見證。你知道這個特殊時刻是如何發生的嗎？

Yes, but can your tree do this? Pictured is a visual coincidence between the dark branches of a nearby tree and bright glow of a distant aurora. The beauty of the aurora — combined with how it seemed to mimic a tree right nearby — mesmerized the photographer to such a degree that he momentarily forgot to take pictures. When viewed at the right angle, it seemed that this tree had aurora for leaves. Fortunately, before the aurora morphed into a different overall shape, he came to his senses and captured the awe-inspiring momentary coincidence. Typically triggered by solar explosions, aurora are caused by high energy electrons impacting the Earth’s atmosphere around 150 kilometers up. The unusual Earth-sky collaboration was witnessed in March of 2017 in Iceland. Sky Surprise: What picture did APOD feature on your birthday? (after 1995)
