[漢羅] SOFIA 翕著 ê 南極極光

SOFIA 是 平流層紅外線天文台，是 ùi 一台波音 747SP 飛龍機改–ê。 內底有囥一台 大台 ê 反射式望遠鏡，欲飛到平流層去 lih。 地表 ê 大氣層 kā 99 葩 ê 紅外線攏擋 tī 外太空。 這台飛龍機有通載觀測設備，peh 到地球大氣層頂懸，予研究者會當 ùi 地球任何所在做觀測。 Tī 7 月 17 ê 科學任務 內底，天文台飛入去到南極 ê 極光區。 紐西蘭 Otago 博物館館長，嘛是天文學家 Ian Griffin，tī 天文台面對南方 ê 時陣，ùi 右舷 翕著這个景色。 老人星 tī 南方暗暝 ê 南極極光 kha-tián 頂懸，閃閃爍爍。 天文台這擺 飛到 紐西蘭 ê 上南爿，差不多是南緯 62 度 ê 所在。 是講真不幸，等伊停踮教堂 ê 時陣，天氣煞變甲足害–ê，SOFIA 煞去予創歹去，愛修理。 所以本底 tī 南半球 ê 一寡任務只好取消矣！

[English] SOFIA’s Southern Lights

SOFIA, the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, is a Boeing 747SP aircraft modified to carry a large reflecting telescope into the stratosphere. The ability of the airborne facility to climb above about 99 percent of Earth’s infrared-blocking atmosphere has allowed researchers to observe from almost anywhere over the planet. On a science mission flying deep into the southern auroral oval, astronomer Ian Griffin, director of New Zealand’s Otago Museum, captured this view from the observatory’s south facing starboard side on July 17. Bright star Canopus shines in the southern night above curtains of aurora australis, or southern lights. The plane was flying far south of New Zealand at the time at roughly 62 degrees southern latitude. Unfortunately, after a landing at Christchurch severe weather damaged SOFIA requiring repairs and the cancellation of the remainder of its final southern hemisphere deployment.
