[漢羅] 彗星 kah 火流星

這張相片本底是欲翕彗星。 應該是講，這本底是欲翕 2021 年上光 ê Leonard 彗星 翕規組 ê。 毋閣 宇宙 總是有伊家己 ê 想法。 Tī 無夠一秒鐘 ê 時間內底，有一粒足光 ê 流星，咱 kā 叫做火流星，伊 ê 軌跡 拄仔好出現 tī Leonard 彗星 ê 下底。 這粒 流星 ê 爍光 是比彗鬚 ê 青光閣較青。 流星 ê 核心差不多 kah 溪邊 ê 石頭平大粒，毋閣彗星 ê 核心 to̍h kah 一个城市平大 矣。 流星 ê 青光 是 ùi 流星 ê 核心蒸發出來 ê 鎂，毋閣 彗星 ê 青光 可能是 ùi 彗星 ê 核心噴出來 ê 雙原子碳。 這張相片是 10 工前 tī 美國 加州 ê Sacramento 河 kah Lassen 山 翕 ê 夜景。 火流星出現 tī 今年 雙生仔座流星雨 ê 前半場，閣過幾若工 to̍h 是流星上濟彼工矣。 Leonard 彗星 這馬已經變甲愈來愈暗矣，頂禮拜是目睭會當看上清楚 ê 時陣，這馬已經 徙到南方 ê 天頂 矣。

[English] The Comet and the Fireball

This picture was supposed feature a comet. Specifically, a series of images of the brightest comet of 2021 were being captured: Comet Leonard. But the universe had other plans. Within a fraction of a second, a meteor so bright it could be called a fireball streaked through just below the comet. And the meteor's flash was even more green than the comet's coma. The cause of the meteor's green was likely magnesium evaporating from the meteor's pebble-sized core, while the cause of the comet's green was likely diatomic carbon recently ejected from the comet's city-sized nucleus. The images were taken 10 days ago over the Sacramento River and Mt. Lassen in California, USA. The fireball was on the leading edge of this year's Geminid Meteor Shower -- which peaked a few days later. Comet Leonard is now fading after reaching naked-eye visibility last week -- but now is moving into southern skies.
