这是第一次。至少，这是这位摄影师第一次从他的家乡山上看到极光。那是多么壮观的极光啊。波兰的卡尔科诺泽山脉通常太靠南，看不到极光。但在5月10日至11日这个神奇的夜晚，紫色和绿色照亮了大部分的夜空，这一令人惊讶的奇观也出现在地球上许多中纬度地区。这张特色图像是在极光高峰期间拍摄的六张垂直曝光的合成图像。右边的未来主义建筑是位于Karkonosze山脉最高峰的气象台的一部分。紫色主要是由于太阳触发的高能电子撞击地球大气中的氮分子。我们的太阳将在未来两年内达到其表面活动的最大值，尽管预计会有更多的极光，但大多数将发生在离地球两极更近的地区。

It was the first time ever. At least, the first time this photographer had ever seen aurora from his home mountains. And what a spectacular aurora it was. The Karkonosze Mountains in Poland are usually too far south to see any auroras. But on the amazing night of May 10 - 11, purple and green colors lit up much of the night sky, a surprising spectacle that also appeared over many mid-latitude locations around the Earth. The featured image is a composite of six vertical exposures taken during the auroral peak. The futuristic buildings on the right are part of a meteorological observatory located on the highest peak of the Karkonosze Mountains. The purple color is primarily due to Sun-triggered, high-energy electrons impacting nitrogen molecules in Earth's atmosphere. Our Sun is reaching its maximum surface activity over the next two years, and although many more auroras are predicted, most will occur over regions closer to the Earth's poles.
