光污染在切尔塔克通常不是问题。在格陵兰岛西部,这个偏远的沿海村庄在2020年拥有114名人口。尽管如此,黑暗的天空依然闪耀着灯光。在地球最近的强烈地磁风暴期间,11月6日,这些美丽的北极光帷幕落在北极地区。在北纬70度的极夜即将来临的前夕,令人振奋的北极光映照在迪斯科湾的水面上。从这个孤立的定居点看,一座孤独的冰山被海岸的灯光照亮,因为它漂过冰冷的大海。周末守望:狮子座流星雨。

Light pollution is usually not a problem in Qeqertaq. In western Greenland the remote coastal village boasted a population of 114 in 2020. Lights still shine in its dark skies though. During planet Earth's recent intense geomagnetic storm, on November 6 these beautiful curtains of aurora borealis fell over the arctic realm. On the eve of the coming weeks of polar night at 70 degrees north latitude, the inspiring display of northern lights is reflected in the waters of Disko Bay. In this view from the isolated settlement a lone iceberg is illuminated by shore lights as it drifts across the icy sea. Weekend Watch: The Leonid Meteor Shower.
