奇異的彩虹云令「世界屋脊」珠峰都顯得有些失色
據外媒報導，一位俄羅斯天文學家在尼泊爾拍到了珠峰上空出現的、非常罕見的彩虹云照片。
現年51歲的奧列格•巴圖諾夫(Oleg Bartunov)是莫斯科斯特恩伯格天文研究所(Sternberg Astronomical Institute)的一名天文學家，
在最近的一次赴喜馬拉雅山考察活動時，他看到了珠峰上空出現的奇特云彩：陽光照射在云上，云彩卻出現了類似彩虹的七彩光
線。他立即拿起相機，對著云拍攝了兩張照片。
這種奇異的現象是由陽光照射在云當中的小冰晶形成的
「我不敢相信自己的眼睛，」他說，「於是我問周邊的其他遊客，他們看到後也驚嘆不已，紛紛拍照留念」。
這兩張照片角度非常合適，幾乎拍攝到了彩虹云的全部光譜。巴圖諾夫表示，他只拍了這兩張照片，因為他想用自己的眼睛多看
一看這些奇異的景象。「當地人都說很少看到這樣的云，我想這的確是很罕見的，」他說，「不過，高海拔地區的人也不怎麼經
常觀察天空，因為陽光太過於刺眼，對眼睛不利。」

Hovering in the sky, this rainbow cloud over Mount Everest took an astonished astronomer by surprise.
Oleg Bartunov, 51, caught the spectacle on camera during a Himalayas expedition in Nepal.
His two images show almost the whole spectrum of the rainbow in a natural event rarely recorded at Mount Everest.

The phenomenon is caused by light reflecting off tiny ice crystals inside the body of the cloud's water vapour.
'I only took a couple of shots as I was overwhelmed with feelings and wanted to see everything with my eyes and prolong the moment,' Mr Bartunov said.

'Later I asked many local people who were there if they saw these clouds,' he added. 'Not many had seen them before either, so it must be a very rare event.
"It's not a surprise as people rarely watch the sky at that altitude because the sun's rays are more harmful to the eyes up there.'
The psychedelic nature of the rainbow cloud wasn't lost on Mr Bartunov.
He said: 'If this was the 60s I couldhave sworn it was some kind of album by The Beatles because the colourswere so vivid and dream-like.
