阿尔卑斯山上空的流星与银河

Explanation: Now this was a view with a thrill. From Mount Tschirgant in the Alps, you can see not only nearby towns and distant Tyrolean peaks, but also, weather permitting, stars, nebulas, and the band of the Milky Way Galaxy. What made the arduous climb worthwhile this night, though, was another peak — the peak of the 2018 Perseids Meteor Shower. As hoped, dispersing clouds allowed a picturesque sky-gazing session that included many faint meteors, all while a carefully positioned camera took a series of exposures. Suddenly, a thrilling meteor — bright and colorful — slashed down right next to the nearly vertical band of the Milky Way. As luck would have it, the camera caught it too. Therefore, a new image in the series was quickly taken with one of the sky-gazers posing on the nearby peak. Later, all of the images were digitally combined.

说明: 这是一片扣人心弦的景观。站在阿尔卑斯山脉的Tschirgant峰，你不仅能见到附近的城镇和远处的泰罗宁连峰，天气良好的话，还可看到星星、星云、及银河系的中央盘面。然而在这一晚，让艰辛的攀登过程得到满满回报的，则是2018年 英仙座流星雨的极大期也在这晚。也正如所祈愿的，消散的云层让美丽的星空景观得以显现出来，其中包括许多昏暗的流星，而一部摆放位置经过仔细规划的相机，就此拍下了一系列的影像。然后，一颗明亮色彩多变的流星闪现在竖直的银河盘面右方，并往下飞掠。很幸运的，这部相机也捕捉到这个景象。因此，摄影者马上又拍了另一张有观星人伫立在邻近峰顶的照片。回来后，再借助数码技术把这些影像全都整合在一起。
