Explanation: Can the night sky be both art and science? If so, perhaps the featured image is an example. The digital panorama was composed of 10 landscape and 10 sky images all taken on the same night, from the same location, and with the same camera. Iconic features in the image have been artfully brightened, and the ground nearby was artfully illuminated. Visible in the foreground is the creative photographer anchoring an amazing view from the rugged Lofoten Islands of Norway, two months ago, by holding a lamp. Far in the distance are three prominent arches: our Milky Way Galaxy on the left, while a scientifically-unusual double-arced aurora is documented on the right. A meteor is highlighted between them. Other notable skylights include, left to right, the Andromeda Galaxy, the planet Jupiter, the star Vega, and the stars that compose the Big Dipper asterism.

说明: 夜空能否能兼具科学性与艺术性？如果可以，那这幅主题图像或许可为例证之一。这幅数字合成全景图，是由10张地景与10张天空照片组合而成，所有这些照片皆是由同一部相机摄于同一晚与同一地点。图像里的标志性结构，经过特别处理加以增亮，而地景也很巧妙的予以照光。在二个月前拍摄的这幅富有创意之图像里，前景为作为图像定锚的摄影者，手执着灯照亮了这片挪威罗弗敦群岛令人赞叹的崎岖地貌。远方则可见的三个吸睛的光弧之中，分别为左侧的银河系，以及右侧科学意涵有些不寻常的双弧极光。它们之间更夹着一颗流星。而从左到右，其他值得关注的天体有：仙女座星系、木星、织女星、以及构成北斗七星这个星官的群星。
