[漢羅] 西藏天頂 ê 氣輝波

天頂看起來敢若有一个大天體乎？ 彼是 氣輝 啦！ 4 月底 tī 孟加拉 天頂出現雷公雨了後，tī 中國 西藏 ê 天頂嘛出現一輾一輾發光 ê 大型圓形波，就親像 相片 按呢。 這个無四常 ê 圖樣 是大氣 重力波 造成–ê。 Tī 較懸 ê 所在，空氣較薄，交替 ê 壓力波嘛會變較強。 像這个現象是發生 tī 90 公里懸 ê 所在。 氣輝 kah 極光 無仝，極光是 tī 懸緯度 kah 高能帶電粒子相挵，是物理現象。 氣輝是 化學性發光，是化學反應 ê 光產物。 較典型 ê 氣輝 會當 tī 地平線附近看著，伊予咱 ê 夜空袂變甲 規个烏 mi̍h-mà。

[English] Airglow Ripples over Tibet

Why would the sky look like a giant target? Airglow. Following a giant thunderstorm over Bangladesh in late April, giant circular ripples of glowing air appeared over Tibet, China, as pictured here. The unusual pattern is created by atmospheric gravity waves, waves of alternating air pressure that can grow with height as the air thins, in this case about 90-kilometers up. Unlike auroras powered by collisions with energetic charged particles and seen at high latitudes, airglow is due to chemiluminescence, the production of light in a chemical reaction. More typically seen near the horizon, airglow keeps the night sky from ever being completely dark.
