Caption: Third place in the 2021 IAU OAE Astrophotography Contest, category Galilean moons: Jupiter’s Rotation, by Vishal Sharma, India.

This time-lapse beautifully shows the rotation of Jupiter and the passage of two Galilean moons on the right side of the frame. Jupiter completes one rotation in just under 10 hours and we see as the Great Red Spot makes its way from left to right. The two moons travel a noticeable fraction of their orbit in this short time. This image was taken in 2020 in the North of India.

Caption: Terzo posto al concorso di astrofotografia IAU OAE 2021, categoria lune galileiane: La rotazione di Giove, di Vishal Sharma, India.

Questo time-lapse mostra magnificamente la rotazione di Giove e il passaggio di due lune galileiane sul lato destro dell'inquadratura. Giove compie una rotazione in poco meno di 10 ore: ciò risulta visibile osservando la Grande Macchia Rossa muoversi da sinistra a destra. Le due lune percorrono una frazione notevole della loro orbita in questo breve lasso di tempo. L'immagine è stata scattata nel 2020 nel nord dell'India.

这幅延时摄影作品精美地展示了木星的自转,以及画面右侧经过的两颗伽利略卫星。木星自转一圈只需不到 10 个小时,我们可以看到大红斑从左向右移动。在这短短的时间内,两颗卫星明显沿着它们的轨道前进了一段距离。这张照片是 2020 年在印度北部拍摄的。
