美得不可思議! 新加坡上空驚現罕見'火焰彩虹'!

A rare cloud phenomenon over Singapore has delighted people in the city-state.

新加坡出現的罕見彩雲景觀，讓該城市國家的人們都興奮不已。

The multi-coloured glow appeared in the sky, lasting for about 15 minutes, and was seen across the island.

多彩的光芒出現在了天空中，持續了約15分鐘，整個島國均可觀賞到這個奇觀。

Media reports said it was likely a fire rainbow, which occurs when sunlight refracts through ice-crystal clouds.

媒體報道稱，這可能是火焰彩虹，它是由陽光通過冰晶雲折射後產生的。

Others have also said it could have been cloud iridescence, which happens when water droplets or crystals scatter light.

其他的說法是，這可能是彩雲，發生在水滴或水晶散射光芒的時候。

Mokhtar, who works in a childcare centre, told the BBC that she spotted it around 17:10 last Monday (09:10 GMT).

在一家托兒中心工作的穆赫塔爾向BBC透露，她是在上週一17:10左右（格林尼治時間09:10）發現了該自然現象。

"It started as a small orange circle and then grew bigger and bigger till all the colours came out... It lasted for about 15 minutes and it slowly went off.

“它起初只是一個橙色的小光圈，後來愈擴愈大，直到所有顏色出現。再持續了約15分鐘後慢慢消失。”

She said "all the children in the school, some parents, and other staff were very excited and commenting that it was very, very rare to see such a beautiful and unique rainbow".

她表示：“學校裏的所有孩子、一些家長和其他工作人員都非常興奮，並表示看到這樣美麗和獨特的彩虹非常非常罕見。”
