Winter and Summer on a Little Planet

Explanation: Winter and summer appear to come on a single night to this stunning little planet. It’s planet Earth of course. The digitally mapped, nadir centered panorama covers 360×180 degrees and is composed of frames recorded during January and July from the Col du Galibier in the French Alps. Stars and nebulae of the northern winter (bottom) and summer Milky Way form the complete arcs traversing the rugged, curved horizon. Cars driving along on the road during a summer night illuminate the 2,642 meter high mountain pass, but snow makes access difficult during winter months except by serious ski touring. Cycling fans will recognize the Col du Galibier as one of the most famous climbs in planet Earth’s Tour de France.

说明: 在这颗壮丽的小小行星上，冬季与夏季看似在同一个夜晚相遇。想当然耳，这颗壮丽的小小行星就是地球。这幅运用数位技术拼接的全天图，组合自一月及七月摄于法国阿尔卑斯山加利比耶隘口（Col du Galibier）的照片，影像以当地的地底点为中心，涵盖了360度x180度的视野。北半球冬季（下半）与夏季银河的恒星与星云，于崎岖蜿蜒的地平线上空接成了完整的光弧。夏夜里，沿着山路行驶的车辆灯火，点亮了海拔2,642米的隘口，而冬季的积雪使得通行变得非常困难，通常只有经验丰富的滑雪登山者才得以抵达。对自行车爱好者来说，加利比耶隘口是地球环法自行车赛中最著名的爬坡赛段之一。
