是的,但是你的树能做到吗?图为附近一棵树的深色树枝和远处极光的明亮光芒之间的视觉巧合。极光的美丽,加上它似乎模仿了附近的一棵树,使摄影师着迷到如此程度,以至于他暂时忘记了拍照。从合适的角度看,这棵树的叶子上似乎有极光。幸运的是,在极光转变成不同的整体形状之前,他恢复了理智,捕捉到了令人敬畏的瞬间巧合。极光通常是由太阳爆炸引发的,是由高能电子撞击地球大气层150公里左右引起的。2017年3月,人们在冰岛见证了这种不寻常的天地人合作。《天空惊喜》:《APOD》在你生日那天给你拍了什么照片?(1995年以后)

Yes, but can your tree do this? Pictured is a visual coincidence between the dark branches of a nearby tree and bright glow of a distant aurora. The beauty of the aurora -- combined with how it seemed to mimic a tree right nearby -- mesmerized the photographer to such a degree that he momentarily forgot to take pictures. When viewed at the right angle, it seemed that this tree had aurora for leaves. Fortunately, before the aurora morphed into a different overall shape, he came to his senses and captured the awe-inspiring momentary coincidence. Typically triggered by solar explosions, aurora are caused by high energy electrons impacting the Earth's atmosphere around 150 kilometers up. The unusual Earth-sky collaboration was witnessed in March of 2017 in Iceland. Sky Surprise: What picture did APOD feature on your birthday? (after 1995)
