作品名稱

南方的十字架 Southern Cross

科學圖說 Scientific introduction

在南半球觀看銀河，不僅比北半球所見的明亮許多，色彩也更加豐富。夜空下的紐西蘭南島蒂卡波湖，是南半球的觀星聖地，也是世界上第一個暗夜星空保護區。當地特製的照明路燈，是為了避免光污染影響觀測星空。拍攝照片的同時，天空中人造衛星和流星運行的軌跡，恰好瞬間形成十字造型，與地面教堂屋頂的十字架遙相呼應。畫面右側清晰可見大小麥哲倫星雲。

From the Southern Hemisphere, the Milky Way appears brighter and richer in color than from the Northern Hemisphere. Lake Tekapo, on New Zealand’s South Island, is a sacred site for stargazers and the world’s first dark sky reserve. Specially produced streetlamps prevent light pollution from interfering with observations of the night skies. In this image, a manmade satellite in orbit and meteor form a cross-like shape, echoing the cross on the local church. On the right side, the Large Magellanic Cloud and Small Magellanic Cloud can be clearly seen.
