A Little Like Mars

Explanation: The surface of this planet looks a little like Mars. It’s really planet Earth though. In a digitally stitched little planet projection, the 360 degree mosaic was captured near San Pedro in the Chilean Atacama desert. Telescopes in domes on the horizon are taking advantage of the region’s famously dark, clear nights. Taken in early December, a magnificent Milky Way arcs above the horizon for almost 180 degrees around the little planet with Orion prominent in the southern sky. A familiar constellation upside down for northern hemisphere skygazers, Orion shares that southern December night almost opposite the Large and Small Magellanic clouds. But the Red Planet itself is the brightest yellowish celestial beacon in this little planet sky.

说明: 这颗行星的表面,看来有点像火星。其实它的本尊是地球。这幅使用数位拼接的360度视野之小小行星投影,摄于智利.圣佩德罗镇附近的阿塔卡玛沙漠。影像地平线上散布的望远镜圆顶,建于此地是为了善用这地区著名的澄澈幽暗夜空。在去年12月初拍照时,地平线上方有猎户座和绵延将近180度的壮丽南天银河。此外,北半球观星者很熟悉的猎户座上下倒悬,在天空的位置则和大、小麦哲伦星系约180度反向。在这幅小小行星的星空影像里,火星是其中最明亮的那颗泛黄天体。

请对美学和天文学做一个简短的调查:声化
