太陽(yáng)系的行星-四部相機(jī)完成的美景

Simultaneous images from four cameras were combined to construct this atmospheric predawn skyscape. The cooperative astro-panorama captures all the planets of the Solar System, just before sunrise on June 24. That foggy morning found innermost planet Mercury close to the horizon but just visible against the twilight, below and left of brilliant Venus. Along with the waning crescent Moon, the other bright naked-eye planets, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn lie near the ecliptic, arcing up and to the right across the wide field of view. Binoculars would have been required to spot the much fainter planets Uranus and Neptune, though they also were along the ecliptic in the sky. In the foreground are excavations at an ancient Roman villa near Marina di San Nicola, Italy, planet Earth.

由4部相機(jī)同時(shí)拍攝的照片，組合出這片黎明前空靈的天空景觀。這幅協(xié)力合作的天文全景圖，捕捉到6月24日天空中所有的太陽(yáng)系行星。在那個(gè)霧蒙蒙的早晨，最內(nèi)圍的水星低懸在地平線上方，在明亮金星下方的曙光中勉強(qiáng)顯現(xiàn)身影。影像中，除了彎彎的殘?jiān)轮?，其他位在黃道附近、于遼闊視野里向右上彎曲排列的肉眼可見(jiàn)明亮行星有：火星、木星和土星。而盡管也高懸在天空的黃道上，但極為昏暗的天王星和海王星需要使用雙筒望遠(yuǎn)鏡才得見(jiàn)。影像的前景為地球意大利Marina di San Nicola地區(qū)的一處古羅馬別墅的考古挖掘現(xiàn)場(chǎng)。
