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尚不清楚。在背景中,就在中央尖峰的尽头,是一轮明亮的新月。月球周围的怪异光芒主要是黄道光,即太阳系行星之间的尘埃颗粒反射的阳光。顶部的拱形是我们银河系的中心带。许多著名的恒星和星云在背景夜空中也可见。这幅由29个面板组成的全景图是在2015年9月拍摄的,经过详细的规划,包括月球、岩石尖塔和它们相应的阴影。尽管如此,强烈的黄道光还是令人惊喜。你的天空惊喜:APOD在你的生日上展示了什么照片?(1995后)

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 unknown. In the background, just past the end of the central Pinnacle, is a bright crescent Moon. The eerie glow around the Moon is mostly zodiacal light, sunlight reflected by dust grains orbiting between the planets in the Solar System. Arching across the top is the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy. Many famous stars and nebulas are also visible in the background night sky. The featured 29-panel panorama was taken and composed in 2015 September after detailed planning that involved the Moon, the rock spires, and their corresponding shadows. Even so, the strong zodiacal light was a pleasant surprise. Your Sky Surprise: What picture did APOD feature on your birthday? (post 1995)
