Recently, the European Southern Observatory scientists announced that they use VLT telescope obtained by a group of Sun photo research found that the Sun can send out short blue and green lightning.
At the very top of the photo, is green lightning phenomenon, time is very short
According to the daily Science Network reported that recently the European Southern Observatory (European Southern Observatory), scientists announced that they use VLT (Very Large Telescope) telescope obtained a group photo of the Sun and found that the Sun can send out short blue and green lightning.
According to the scientists, the Earth's atmosphere is scattered sunlight side big Prism, for observation of the Sun are vulnerable to the influence of the Earth's atmosphere. This striking green, and blue lightning needs in a very stable continuous observation of atmospheric conditions could be seen, therefore, is located in Chile of Phra SEO na Observatory becomes the only capture the wonders of suitable areas.
Phra SEO na Observatory is located in Chile Antoinette method calingasta 130 km south of Cerro · PA-SEO na mountain, about 12 km distance from the coastline, 2632 metres above sea level, in 1999. The main equipments are 4 8.2 m-diameter of the very large telescope (VLT), as well as four 8.2 m and four 1.8 m auxiliary telescopes, composed of very large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI), 4 m diameter in the visible and infrared Survey Telescope (VISTA), 2.5 m diameter of VLT Survey Telescope (VST). And the Atacama desert of the natural environment and Mars over similar, there are red sand and the lack of vegetation, is the world's driest region.
It is reported that Sun's blue and green of the lightning, by ESO staff Stephen · ancient Isard in a few years ago, the first, now observed on many occasions. According to ancient Isard wrong, most challenging is still able to see the Sun more colors lightning while observing the Green Flash of lightning. His colleagues Branca Calder luckier, in last year's Christmas Eve, to capture the Sun emits blue lightning phenomenon of photos. European Southern Observatory astronomers to these photos as a basis for the Sun to issue these different colored lightning started research.
Scientists believe that these colors are determined by the interplanetary dust reflecting sunlight. Because they are quite weak, so no light pollution can be observed, but time is very short. Since most of the rows in the solar system is located in the interstellar dust between Earth and the Sun, the earth can be observed in these strange lightning. Especially in the observation of the Sun, the Sun, the Sun is the atmosphere and these interstellar dust refraction or reflection, resulting in a variety of different colors. As a result of these phenomena are very casual and it's not easy being captured. Therefore, the European Southern Observatory's scientists have taken a photo of the day "," very precious.
Scientists funny to this phenomenon than done — the new moon. In other words, each star small particles in the universe is like the Moon reflection of light from the Sun. "If you can see a single dust, so you can see a tiny Moon". Scientists said of these photos, the study will also continue to expand, because large telescope could not be observed tiny dust particles, so must finally determine the cause of these phenomena, whether or not there is a common phenomenon.
