有时候，夜空充满了惊喜。以上周新西兰南岛林迪斯山口的天空为例。取而代之的是一个典型的平静的夜空，充满了不断的星星，一个繁忙和动态的夜空出现了。突然间，无处不在的红色极光、绿色的尖栅栏极光、红色的SAR弧线、STEVE、一颗流星和月球出现了。它们的亮度超过了我们银河系的中心和它的两个卫星星系：大麦哲伦星系和麦哲伦星系。所有这些都是在5分钟内28次曝光拍摄的，这张全景图就是由这些照片组成的。上周，由于太阳的日冕物质抛射向地球释放了大量粒子，在距离地球两极太远的纬度地区创造了色彩斑斓的天空，极光照亮了许多天空。更普遍的是，本月的夜空还有其他惊喜，不仅有极光，还有彗星。拼图挑战：当天的天文学难题

Sometimes the night sky is full of surprises. Take the sky over Lindis Pass, South Island, New Zealand one-night last week. Instead of a typically calm night sky filled with constant stars, a busy and dynamic night sky appeared. Suddenly visible were pervasive red aurora, green picket-fence aurora, a red SAR arc, a STEVE, a meteor, and the Moon. These outshone the center of our Milky Way Galaxy and both of its two satellite galaxies: the LMC and SMC. All of these were captured together on 28 exposures in five minutes, from which this panorama was composed. Auroras lit up many skies last week, as a Coronal Mass Ejection from the Sun unleashed a burst of particles toward our Earth that created colorful skies over latitudes usually too far from the Earth's poles to see them. More generally, night skies this month have other surprises, showing not only auroras -- but comets. Jigsaw Challenge: Astronomy Puzzle of the Day
