Influenced by the strong solar storm, aurora appeared in many countries in the northern and southern hemispheres on the night of March 17, 2065438. Zhu Jin, curator of the Beijing Planetarium, photographed the aurora star map in Wuerhe District, Karamay, Xinjiang, China.

It is understood that the aurora can be observed in Xinjiang because the red light with longer wavelength is more penetrating, so the aurora in a relatively low latitude area like Xinjiang is red.

At the same time, only when the local magnetic index is high, the aurora bursts strongly and covers a large area, it is possible to observe the aurora in Xinjiang, which is invisible to the naked eye of ordinary people and can only be presented through pictures with professional shooting tools. During the extreme night, China Mohe Arctic Village occasionally sees the aurora, the last time was in 2003.

Xinjiang cuisine

1, Xinjiang saute spicy chicken

The main ingredients are chicken and potatoes. Finally, chickens raised on farms taste the best. Xinjiang saute spicy chicken is brightly colored, and the chicken is hot and sour. If you eat too much, you don't have to worry about plugging your teeth. Cooked potatoes are soft and waxy, and you can hear the spicy taste from a distance.

2, kebabs

If you want to eat authentic kebabs, Xinjiang kebabs can best satisfy your taste. Most of the mutton chosen by Xinjiang people is three thin and one fat, and it is roasted with red willow branches. This kind of mutton not only has no smell, but also can give full play to its delicate flavor and firm meat quality. And their local kebabs are super big, which is delicious with a bottle of Wusu wine!

barbecue

Grilled naan is the staple food of Xinjiang people, and it is also very big, about 30-40 cm, with diverse tastes. The baked bag is thick in the periphery, crispy in the middle and slightly brown, and then sprinkled with a full sesame seed, which is crispy and delicious, thick and chewy.
