天空对沙斯塔山生气了吗?根据一些古老的传说,上面和下面的世界的灵魂在那里战斗,有时在美国加利福尼亚州这座巨大的火山爆发期间相当活跃。在这张6月下旬拍摄的深空图像中,可以很好地想象出这样的戏剧性。在白雪覆盖的山峰上,左边是我们银河系的中心带,而在右边和上面是现代天蝎座和蛇夫座,这是一片风景如画的天空。明亮的橙色恒星心宿二和色彩斑斓的蛇夫座星云复合体就在沙斯塔山的右边,而围绕蛇夫座ζ的红色发射星云出现在右上方。特征合成图中的静态地球图像是在蓝色小时期间拍摄的,而跟踪背景天空的双面板全景图是在当晚晚些时候用同一台相机在同一位置拍摄的。在几百万年内,心宿二、蛇夫座系统中的一些恒星和蛇夫座ζ都可能以超新星的形式爆炸。

Is the sky angry with Mount Shasta? According to some ancient legends, the spirits of above and below worlds fight there, sometimes quite actively during eruptions of this enormous volcano in California, USA. Such drama can well be imagined in this deep sky image taken in late June. Evident above the snow-covered peak is the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy, on the left, and a picturesque sky toward the modern constellations of Scorpius and Ophiuchus, above and to the right. The bright orange star Antares and the colorful rho Ophiuchi cloud complex are visible just to the right of Mount Shasta, while the red emission nebula surrounding the star zeta Ophiuchi appears on the top right. The static earth image in the featured composite was taken during the blue hour, while a two-panel panorama tracking the background sky was taken later that night with the same camera and from the same location. Within a few million years, Antares, some stars in the rho Ophiuchi system, and zeta Ophiuchi will all likely explode as supernovas.
