太陽閃焰引發地球20年來最大磁暴 全球多地出現眩目極光

太陽閃焰(solar flares)引發地球20年來最大地磁風暴(geomagnetic storm,磁暴),10日晚在拉丁美洲部分地區帶來眩目的極光秀,包括罕見出現在墨西哥。奧地利、德國、瑞士、倫敦、美國和加拿大等都有目擊事件,亞洲地區包括澳洲、紐西蘭、日本和中國等都有人拍下眩目美照。美國國家海洋暨大氣總署(NOAA)表示,磁暴效應可能會持續整個周末。

路透社報導,在墨西哥北部邊境的沙漠城市瑪契卡力市(Mexicali),粉紅光與紫色光的梯度(gradients)照亮了整個夜空。極光在北極地區���尋常,而墨國北境距離北極地區有數千哩之遙。

墨西哥下加利福尼亞州(Baja California)瑪契卡力市民防機構表示,11日晚可能會看到更多極光。

在智利,這種亮光被稱為南極光。當地媒體和���群平台用戶分享的照片顯示,旁達阿里納市(Punta Arenas)天空染上了大紅和紫紅的色彩。

在阿根廷,當地媒體報導,巴塔哥尼亞高地(Patagonia)城市烏斯華雅(Ushuaia)天空也出現了類似的色調。

據NOAA說法,太陽日冕離子體和磁場爆炸的物質直接襲向地球時會引發磁暴,造成極光現象。
