Affected by a 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 City, Xinjiang, China.

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

At the same time, only when the geomagnetic indices is high, the aurora erupts strongly, and the coverage area is large, it is possible to observe the aurora in Xinjiang, which is invisible to ordinary human eyes and can only be presented through pictures with professional shooting tools. Aurora was occasionally seen in Arctic Village, Mohe, China during the extreme night, the last time was in 2003.

Xinjiang cuisine

1, Xinjiang saute spicy chicken

The main ingredients are chicken pieces and potatoes. Finally, the free-range chickens on the farm taste the best. Xinjiang saute spicy chicken is bright in color, and the chicken is hot and sour. Don't worry about blocking your teeth if you eat too much. The boiled potatoes are soft and waxy, and you can hear the spicy taste from a distance.

2. Mutton kebabs

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, roasted with red willow branches. This kind of mutton not only has no smell, but also can give full play to its umami flavor, and its meat quality is firm. Moreover, their local mutton kebabs are super large, which is delicious with a bottle of Wusu wine!
