Brittien taivaat loimuavat: Revontulet ja meteorisateiden tanssi!

Kuka tarvitsee elokuvateatteria, kun taivas tarjoaa revontulia ja meteorisateita? Ota mukava asento ja lue lisää!

Maanantai-ilta oli taivaan suurin show Britanniassa, kun revontulet värittivät Gloucestershiren taivaita purppuran sävyillä. Cirencestern ja Deanin metsän ylle loimuavat revontulet herkuttelivat taivaanrinteet useilla väreillä, ja myös Bristolin ja Somersetin asukkaat pääsivät nauttimaan tästä luonnon omasta taideteoksesta. Kun taivas saattaa olla harvinainen paikka nähdä sellaisia kauniita ilmiöitä, tämä viimeisin esitys ei petä!

Samaan aikaan, kun revontulet valaisivat taivasta, myös Perseidien meteorisade tuotti unohtumatonta tunnelmaa. Yhdessä nämä luonnonilmiöt loivat ainutlaatuisen taivaallisen kokemuksen kaikkialla Britanniassa - jopa Cornwallissa! Taivaan tutkiminen ei ole koskaan ollut näin jännittävää, ja monet olivat valmiita käyttämään yötunnit kauniin taivaan alla. Mitä voi olla parempaa kuin istua ulkona, nauttia tähdenlentoja ja samalla ihastella revontulien loistoa?

Revontulet ja Perseidit yhdessä olivat kuin taivas olisi järjestänyt oman juhlan, ja sosiaalinen media oli kupliva paikka, jossa kaikki jakoivat upeita valokuviaan ja kokemuksiaan. Tämä on todiste siitä, miten luonnonilmiöt voivat yhdistää ihmisiä ja luoda unohtumattomia muistoja – pelkästään puhuen upeista taivaan ilmiöistä. Eteläisemmässä Walesissä revontulet lisäsivät vielä enemmän glamouria, kun ystävät kokoontuivat yhteen jakamaan tämän tarjonnan.

Mutta tiesitkö, että revontulet johtuvat auringon säteilystä? Aurinkotuulta ja maapallon magneettikentän vuorovaikutus saavat värikkäät valot syntymään ylhäällä. Ja mielessä kannattaa pitää, että Perseidien meteorisateen huippu on joka vuosi heinä- ja elokuussa, joten ei muuta kuin kalenterit merkintään! Näiden tähtien tanssi tarjoaa joka vuosi ainutlaatuisen kokemuksen kaltaista ei voida rahalla ostaa - vain pysähtyä ja ihastella taivaallista taidetta, jonka luonto meille esittää!

On myös kiinnostavaa huomata, että revontulia voi nähdä eri puolilla maapalloa, vaikka ne ovatkin kivillä latautuneita ihmeitä. Revontulet näkyvät parhaiten napa-alueilla, mutta nyt niiden siirtyminen etelään antaa virikkeitä enemmän ja enemmän havaintoja. Britanniassa on myös herännyt kiinnostus tähtien tarkkailua kohtaan, ja tämä taivaallinen show on vain yksi monista syistä, miksi ihmiset suuntaavat ulos pimeään yöhön tähystämään. Luonto on todellakin taiteilija, joka ei koskaan lakkaa yllättämästä!
