[漢羅] 冰島天頂 ê 鳳凰極光

看極光 ê 人攏轉去矣！ 佇 冰島 九月一个安靜 ê 暗暝，半暝三點半，大部份 ê 極光攏已經消失矣。 忽然間煞出現一陣新爆發 ê 粒子對天頂瀉落來，閣再 kā 地球 ê 大氣層 照予光。 這个時陣，雄雄煞看著天頂 親像是 予一隻 非常 大隻 ê 鳳凰 kā 夜空照予光。 用準備好 ê kha-mé-lah tùi 天頂趕緊翕兩張，閣加翕一張地景。 Tī 後壁 ê 山頭是 Helgafell 山，tī 頭前 ê 河川是 Kaldá 河，兩个攏離冰島首都 Reykjavík 北爿 30 外公里遠。 有經驗 ê 觀星者 to̍h 認會出 tī 山頂倒爿 ê 獵戶座。 昴宿 星團 嘛 tī 相片中央面頂看會著。 2016 年 ê 極光，干焦有一分鐘久，而且隨無去。 若是無這張 數位組合相片，可能會予人當做是咧 臭彈。

[English] A Phoenix Aurora over Iceland

All of the other aurora watchers had gone home. By 3:30 am in Iceland, on a quiet September night, much of that night's auroras had died down. Suddenly, unexpectedly, a new burst of particles streamed down from space, lighting up the Earth's atmosphere once again. This time, surprisingly, pareidoliacally, the night lit up with an amazing shape reminiscent of a giant phoenix. With camera equipment at the ready, two quick sky images were taken, followed immediately by a third of the land. The mountain in the background is Helgafell, while the small foreground river is called Kaldá, both located about 30 kilometers north of Iceland's capital Reykjavík. Seasoned skywatchers will note that just above the mountain, toward the left, is the constellation of Orion, while the Pleiades star cluster is also visible just above the frame center. The 2016 aurora, which lasted only a minute and was soon gone forever -- would possibly be dismissed as a fanciful fable -- were it not captured in the featured, digitally-composed, image mosaic.
