当这颗白雪覆盖的小行星在繁星点点的夜空中漂移时,它的地平线上闪烁着灯光。当然,这个小星球实际上是地球。这张拍摄于8月21日的数码扭曲、以最低点为中心的全景图覆盖了南极洲阿蒙森-斯科特南极站外近360 × 180度的区域。最南端的研究前哨站靠近顶部的地平线,在那里,经过近六个月的黑暗,黎明的光线正在接近。底部是仪式用的杆状标志,周围环绕着《南极条约》最初签约国的12面旗帜,上面是南极光的野外展示。

Lights play around the horizon of this snowy little planet as it drifts through a starry night sky. Of course the little planet is actually planet Earth. Recorded on August 21, the digitally warped, nadir centered panorama covers nearly 360x180 degrees outside the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, Antarctica. The southernmost research outpost is near the horizon at the top where the light of dawn is approaching after nearly six months of darkness. Along the bottom is the ceremonial pole marker surrounded by the 12 flags of the original signatories of the Antarctic treaty, with a wild display of the aurora australis above.
