Image caption: Menzione d'onore al concorso di astrofotografia IAU OAE 2023, categoria Immagini fisse con smartphone-dispositivi mobili: Notti di Apprendimento, di Juan Pablo Botero Londoño.
Sotto la distesa del cielo notturno del deserto di Tatacoa in Colombia, un telescopio trova il suo allineamento con il maestoso nucleo galattico, mentre uno smartphone cattura questo incontro cosmico. Questa istantanea, scattata il 9 giugno 2023 durante un campo di astronomia, incarna la bellezza accessibile delle meraviglie celesti e riceve una menzione d'onore nella categoria Immagini fisse scattate esclusivamente con smartphone/dispositivi mobili. L'immagine mostra l'ipnotica grandezza del cielo notturno, invitando sia l'osservatore casuale di stelle che l'astronomo appassionato. Lo splendore della Via Lattea, elegantemente catturato attraverso un dispositivo mobile, colma senza soluzione di continuità il divario tra le attrezzature sofisticate e la pura e profonda gioia di osservare le stelle.
