这是漫漫长夜中最美的天空之一。在南极洲的部分地区,不仅是冬天,而且太阳可以在地平线以下停留数周。在中国的中山站,人们有时冒着严寒外出拍摄壮观的夜空。这张特色照片拍摄于2015年7月中旬,就在这个极夜结束之前。向上看,广角镜头不仅捕捉到了底部的地面,也捕捉到了顶部。前景中,一位同事正在拍照。在远处,可以看到一个球形卫星接收器和几个风车。无数的星星点缀着夜空,包括天狼星和老人星。在遥远的背景中,从地平线延伸到地平线,是我们银河系的中心带。在更远的地方,可以看到顶部延伸的斑点,是大麦哲伦云和小麦哲伦云,它们是我们巨大的银河系附近的卫星星系。探索宇宙:随机APOD生成器

It was one of the better skies of this long night. In parts of Antarctica, not only is it winter, but the Sun can spend weeks below the horizon. At China's Zhongshan Station, people sometimes venture out into the cold to photograph a spectacular night sky. The featured image from one such outing was taken in mid-July of 2015, just before the end of this polar night. Pointing up, the wide angle lens captured not only the ground at the bottom, but at the top as well. In the foreground, a colleague is taking pictures. In the distance, a spherical satellite receiver and several windmills are visible. Numerous stars dot the night sky, including Sirius and Canopus. Far in the background, stretching overhead from horizon to horizon, is the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy. Even further in the distance, visible as extended smudges near the top, are the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, satellite galaxies near our huge Milky Way Galaxy.
