驶向银河之心

说明: 通往银河中心的道路会穿越美国的「纪念碑谷」吗？ 不一定，但如果你的路刚好经过那里，记得拍张照片吧。这张影像中的道路是美国163号公路，纳瓦荷族 保留地上的数座著名孤峰点缀着远方的地平线。而由天际垂落的银河，仿佛延续了地上的道路。银河中细长的尘埃丝带使星河显得斑驳而深邃，与亿万颗闪耀的星辰以及润染天际的缤纷气体云——例如礁湖星云（Lagoon Nebula）和三叶星云（Trifid Nebula），形成对比。这张主题照片是由同一台相机、同一地点所拍摄的多张影像合成而成，拍摄地点位于美国于犹他州的「阿甘正传观景点（Forest Gump Point）」。前景摄于2021年9月初日落后的「蓝调时刻」，而背景则是几个小时后拍下的四张曝光影像拼接而成的银河全景。

英文原文:
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 Nation al 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 2021 September during the blue hour, while the background is a mosaic of four exposures captured a few hours later.
