从新西兰南岛基督城附近的班克斯半岛向南拍摄的这张构图精良的全景图。前景是一座塔状的岩石海堆的底部,画面顶部是南十字星座的星星,中心附近是地球的南天极。尽管如此,在5月11日拍摄的照片中,充满活力的南极光仍然主宰着繁星点点的南方海洋和天空。闪烁的南极光是广泛的极光展示的一部分,在地球周围的北半球和南半球的天空观察者都很高兴,这是由强烈的地磁风暴引起的。这次极端的太空天气是由强大的太阳活动区ar3664发射的日冕物质抛射的影响引发的。极光:报告你的极光观测

This well-composed composite panoramic view looks due south from Banks Peninsula near Christchurch on New Zealand's South Island. The base of a tower-like rocky sea stack is awash in the foreground, with stars of the Southern Cross at the top of the frame and planet Earth's south celestial pole near center. Still, captured on May 11, vibrant aurora australis dominate the starry southern sea and skyscape. The shimmering southern lights were part of extensive auroral displays that entertained skywatchers in northern and southern hemispheres around planet Earth, caused by intense geomagnetic storms. The extreme spaceweather was triggered by the impact of coronal mass ejections launched from powerful solar active region AR 3664. AuroraSaurus: Report your aurora observations
