Orange snow blanketsEurope?
歐洲降'橘雪'秒變火星
A recent fall of strange orange-tinted snowis making headlines after it swept across a swathe ofEastern Europe. Images on social media fromRussiashow mountainous landscapestinged auburn, where usually they are pristine white. Although it resembleswhat we might imagine snow on Mars to look like, the explanation is actuallypretty simple. According to the BBC, the orange coloration is caused by fineparticles of sand being lifted from theSaharainto the atmosphere, travelling across the world and falling back to the groundmixed in with rain and snow. It occurs once every five years or so.
最近東歐多地上空飄起"橘雪"，這一奇景搶占了新聞頭條。來自俄羅斯社交媒體的圖片顯示，往常雪白的大片山脈被染成了赤褐色。盡管它像極了我們想象中火星上雪的模樣，但是這個現(xiàn)象背后的原因其實非常簡單。據(jù)英國廣播公司報道，雪的橘色染色源于撒哈拉沙漠的沙土，這些沙土被吹到空中，經(jīng)歷"環(huán)球旅行"，最后混在雨雪中降回到地面上。這種現(xiàn)象大約每五年會發(fā)生一次。
