Explanation: What stars shine in Earth’s northern hemisphere during winter? The featured image highlights a number of bright stars visible earlier this month. The image is a 360-degree horizontal-composite panorama of 66 vertical frames taken consecutively with the same camera and from the same location at about 2:30 am. Famous stars visible in the picture include Castor & Pollux toward the southeast on the left, Sirius just over the horizon toward the south, Capella just over the arch of the Milky Way Galaxy toward the west, and Polaris toward the north on the right. Captured by coincidence is a meteor on the far left. In the foreground is the Museum of the Orava Village in Zuberec, Slovakia. This village recreates rural life in the region hundreds of years ago, while the image captures a timeless sky surely familar to village residents, a sky also shared with northern residents around the world.

说明：地球北半球的冬季能看到哪些恒星？这幅特征影像呈现了本月初可以看到的一些明亮恒星。这幅360度水平合成全景影像是由66张垂直照片结合而成，这些照片是在凌晨2点30分左右、使用同一台相机从同一地点连续拍摄的。影像中可见的著名恒星包括左侧东南方的北河二和北河三、南方地平线上的天狼星、西方银河系拱门上空的五车二以及右侧北方的北极星。影像最左侧碰巧捕捉到一颗流星。影像前景是斯洛伐克.祖贝雷克的奥拉瓦村博物馆。这座村庄再现了数百年前该地区的乡村生活，而这张照片捕捉到的永恒天空为村民们所熟悉，也为全世界的北方居民所共享。
