Explanation: Does the road to our galaxy’s center go through Monument Valley? It doesn’t have to, but if your road does — take a picture. In this case, the road is US Route 163 and iconic buttes on the Navajo National Reservation populate the horizon. The band of Milky Way Galaxy stretches down from the sky and appears to be a continuation of the road on Earth. Filaments of dust darken the Milky Way, in contrast to billions of bright stars and several colorful glowing gas clouds including the Lagoon and Trifid nebulas. The featured picture is a composite of images taken with the same camera and from the same location — Forest Gump Point in Utah, USA. The foreground was taken just after sunset in early September during the blue hour, while the background is a mosaic of four exposures captured a few hours later.

说明: 前往我们银河中心的路，是否得经过纪念碑谷？不见得要，但如果你前方的路看似如此，拍个照吧。在此案例里，这条路是美国163号公路，而地平线附近则有纳瓦霍族保留区内的标志性孤峰。在影像中，银河系的盘面从天空垂降，而且看似为这条地球道路的延续。影像里，丝缕状的尘埃染黑了银河，而且与数十亿颗亮星及数个色彩缤纷、包括礁湖和三叶星云在内的明亮云气形成鲜明的对比。这幅摄于美国犹他州阿甘点的主题影像，是由同一部相机摄于相同地点的数张照片组合而成。影像前景是摄于今年9月刚日落后的蓝色时分里，而背景则是由4幅摄于数小时之后的照片所并接。
