这是一个多么奇怪的世界啊?地球。在这张特色图片的前景是尖塔,这是西澳大利亚南峰国家公园里不寻常的岩石尖塔。由古代贝壳(石灰石)制成,这些人形大小的风景如画的尖塔是如何形成的,仍然是一个研究课题。这幅风景如画的全景图拍摄于2017年9月。一束黄道光,由太阳系行星之间的尘埃颗粒反射的阳光,从图像中心附近的地平线上升起。顶部的拱形是我们银河系的中心带。木星和土星,以及几颗著名的恒星也在夜空的背景中可见。

What strange world is this? Earth. In the foreground of the featured image are the Pinnacles, unusual rock spires in Nambung National Park in Western Australia. Made of ancient sea shells (limestone), how these human-sized picturesque spires formed remains a topic of research. The picturesque panorama was taken in 2017 September. A ray of zodiacal light, sunlight reflected by dust grains orbiting between the planets in the Solar System, rises from the horizon near the image center. Arching across the top is the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy. The planets Jupiter and Saturn, as well as several famous stars are also visible in the background night sky.
