上中西部和阿拉斯加预计将出现极光和流星雨
摘要
美国国家海洋和大气管理局预测，周日夜晚北美多个北部州和阿拉斯加有中等几率观测到极光，同时伴有多场流星雨。
美国国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA）预测，周日夜晚北美部分北部地区和阿拉斯加有中等几率出现极光。根据NOAA的数据，预计Kp指数为九分之三，表明极光活动和亮度较平常有所增强。
极光最有可能出现的地区包括北达科他州、蒙大拿州部分地区、明尼苏达州和威斯康星州北部、密歇根州上半岛以及阿拉斯加。气象预报员表示，华盛顿州东北部和爱达荷州北部部分地区也可能在观测范围内。NOAA建议希望观测极光的人士选择远离城市灯光的黑暗地点，并在晚上10点至凌晨2点之间观测，此时极光活动通常最为强烈。
此次极光事件恰逢多场流星雨同时发生。南鱼座流星雨预计将在周一凌晨达到峰值，而自7月17日开始的年度英仙座流星雨将在八月达到高峰。南三角座流星雨也处于活跃期，预计将在周二达到峰值。
