[漢羅] Andes 山脈面頂 ê 紅色精靈爍爁

Tī 天頂 ê 紅色雲絲是啥物？ In 是真罕得看著 ê 一款爍爁。 是差不多 30 年前才確認 ê，to̍h 號做 紅色精靈。 最近 ê 研究發現，綴 tī 足強 ê 雲對地正電爍爁 ê 雷擊後壁，可能會有 紅色精靈 ùi 100 公尺大 ê 離子空氣 球生出來。 In ùi 80 公里懸 ê 所在，用 10 葩 光速 ê 速度，ùi 天頂瀉落來。 Liâm-mi 一陣離子氣體球 to̍h 衝去天頂。 這張影像 是 智利 ê Las Campanas 天文台 tī 今年 ê 年頭，tùi 阿根廷 ê Andes 山脈 ê 天頂翕–ê。 紅色精靈 出現 ê 時間，是 比一秒鐘閣較短。 In 會當 tī 足強 ê 暴雷 ê 邊仔看著。

English Red Sprite Lightning over the Andes

What are those red filaments in the sky? They are a rarely seen form of lightning confirmed only about 30 years ago: red sprites. Recent research has shown that following a powerful positive cloud-to-ground lightning strike, red sprites may start as 100-meter balls of ionized air that shoot down from about 80-km high at 10 percent the speed of light. They are quickly followed by a group of upward streaking ionized balls. The featured image was taken earlier this year from Las Campanas observatory in Chile over the Andes Mountains in Argentina. Red sprites take only a fraction of a second to occur and are best seen when powerful thunderstorms are visible from the side.
