天空似乎爆炸了。最初的想法是拍摄瀑布上方的极光。然而，在不透明的云层下等待了几个小时后，希望正在消失。其他人离开。然后，出乎意料的是，乌云散开了。突然间，一场大型太阳磁暴的粒子对地球上层大气产生了巨大的影响。在令人兴奋的极光表演中，夜空充满了色彩和运动。在地球上的大风中挣扎着稳定相机，拍摄了34次曝光，构成了这张特色图像。由此产生的特色合成图像显示了2月下旬冰岛北部非常活跃的极光前的Godafoss （go - afoss）瀑布。几天前，太阳表面发生爆炸，释放出高能粒子。我们的太阳在接近太阳活动极大期时显示出了令人印象深刻的表面活动，这表明在未来几年里，更令人印象深刻的极光可能会出现在地球北部和南部的天空中。

It seemed like the sky exploded. The original idea was to photograph an aurora over a waterfall. After waiting for hours under opaque clouds, though, hope was running out. Others left. Then, unexpectedly, the clouds moved away. Suddenly, particles from a large solar magnetic storm were visible impacting the Earth's upper atmosphere with full effect. The night sky filled with colors and motion in a thrilling auroral display. Struggling to steady the camera from high Earthly winds, the 34 exposures that compose the featured image were taken. The resulting featured composite image shows the photogenic Godafoss (Goðafoss) waterfall in northern Iceland in front of a very active aurora in late February. The solar surface explosion that expelled the energetic particles occurred a few days before. Our Sun is showing an impressive amount of surface activity as it approaches solar maximum, indicating that more impressive auroras are likely to appear in Earth's northern and southern sky over the next few years.
