It is obviously a composite because the stars are not reflected in the water. Still, it is nicely composed to suggest a similarity between the stream of water on Earth and the (mirrored) stream of stars in the sky.\r\n\r\nThe Milky Way clearly dominates the sky in this image. As a prominent feature in the sky, the Milky Way has been associated with the religions and mythologies of many cultures. The best-known association from Greek folklore “explains” it as a stream of divine milk from the mighty mother goddess Hera, whose husband god Zeus frequently misbehaved (as he did in this case, causing this accident). Greek mythology, on the other hand, considered it to be the path of the souls, while ancient Greek science suggested several scientific explanations, all of which turned out to be false.\r\n\r\nThe Ojibwe in North America, who live to the east of Oregon where this photograph was taken, also consider the Milky Way a Path for Spirits and a River of Souls. Looking at the foreground of the picture, this belief is even more understandable; it looks as if the rivers of Earth and heaven merge at the horizon.\r\n\r\nThe prominent feature in the middle of the image is the dark region called the Pipe Nebula in the Milky Way. The smoke of this pipe goes to the right and ends almost at a treetop, where we find the orange star Antares in the heart of the Scorpion.\r\n\r\nIn the middle of the image, below the Pipe, there is a huge dark area in the Milky Way with two prominent red spots. These spots are hydrogen clouds called the Cat’s Paw and the Lagoon, but in this image they look like the red eyes of great Manitou, the Great Spirit of the Iroquois Native Americans. The constellation of Sagittarius in this area is not recognisable because the image of the Milky Way is highly processed in order to display these dark features that are invisible to the naked eye.",

Si tratta ovviamente di una composizione, perché le stelle non si riflettono nell'acqua. Tuttavia, è ben composta per suggerire una somiglianza tra il flusso d'acqua sulla Terra e il flusso (riflesso) di stelle nel cielo.\r\n\r\nLa Via Lattea domina chiaramente il cielo in questa immagine. Come elemento di spicco del cielo, la Via Lattea è stata associata alle religioni e alle mitologie di molte culture. L'associazione più nota è quella del folklore greco, che la \"spiega\" come un flusso di latte divino della potente dea madre Era, il cui marito, il dio Zeus, si comportava spesso male (come in questo caso, causando questo incidente). La mitologia greca, invece, lo considerava il percorso delle anime, mentre la scienza greca antica proponeva diverse spiegazioni scientifiche, tutte rivelatesi false.\r\n\r\nAnche gli Ojibwe del Nord America, che vivono a est dell'Oregon, dove è stata scattata questa fotografia, considerano la Via Lattea un sentiero per gli spiriti e un fiume di anime. Osservando il primo piano dell'immagine, questa credenza è ancora più comprensibile: sembra che i fiumi della Terra e del cielo si fondano all'orizzonte.\r\n\r\nL'elemento di spicco al centro dell'immagine è la regione scura chiamata Nebulosa della Pipa nella Via Lattea. Il fumo di questa pipa va verso destra e termina quasi in cima a un albero, dove troviamo la stella arancione Antares nel cuore dello Scorpione.\r\n\r\nAl centro dell'immagine, al di sotto della Pipa, c'è un'enorme area scura nella Via Lattea con due macchie rosse prominenti. Queste macchie sono nubi di idrogeno chiamate Zampa di Gatto e Laguna, ma in questa immagine sembrano gli occhi rossi di Manitou, il Grande Spirito dei nativi americani irochesi. La costellazione del Sagittario in quest'area non è riconoscibile perché l'immagine della Via Lattea è altamente elaborata per mostrare queste caratteristiche scure, invisibili ad occhio nudo.",

Es handelt sich offensichtlich um ein Kompositbild, da sich die Sterne nicht im Wasser spiegeln. Dennoch ist es sehr schön zusammengestellt, um eine Ähnlichkeit zwischen dem strömenden Wasser auf der Erde und dem (gespiegelten) Strom der Sterne am Himmel zu suggerieren.\r\n\r\nDie Milchstraße dominiert eindeutig den Himmel in diesem Bild. Als auffälliges Merkmal am Himmel steht die Milchstraße mit den Religionen und Mythologien vieler Kulturen in Verbindung. Die bekannteste Assoziation aus der griechischen Folklore \"erklärt\" sie als einen Strom göttlicher Milch der mächtigen Göttin Hera, deren Gatte, der Gott Zeus, sich häufig danebenbenahm (wie auch im Vorfeld des Unfalls, der zur Entstehung der Milchstraße führte). Unter griechischen Denkern galt die Milchstraße als Pfad der Seelen, während die antike griechische Wissenschaft eine Reihe von Erklärungen vorschlug, die sich allesamt als falsch erwiesen.\r\n\r\nDie Ojibwe in Nordamerika, die östlich von Oregon leben, wo dieses Foto aufgenommen wurde, betrachten die Milchstraße ebenfalls als einen Weg für Geister und einen Fluss der Seelen. Betrachtet man den Vordergrund des Bildes, wird dieser Glaube noch verständlicher: Es sieht so aus, als ob die Flüsse der Erde und des Himmels am Horizont zusammenfließen.\r\n\r\nDie auffällige Struktur oberhalb der Bildmitte ist eine Dunkelwolke in der Milchstraße, die als Pfeifennebel bezeichnet wird. Der Rauch dieser Pfeife zieht nach rechts und endet fast in einer Baumkrone, wo wir den orangefarbenen Stern Antares im Herzen des Skorpions finden.\r\n\r\nIn der Mitte des Bildes, unterhalb der Pfeife, befindet sich ein großer dunkler Bereich in der Milchstraße mit zwei auffälligen roten Flecken. Bei diesen Flecken handelt es sich um Wasserstoffwolken, die als Katzenpfoten- und Lagunennebel bezeichnet werden, aber auf diesem Bild sehen sie aus wie die roten Augen des großen Manitou, des Großen Geistes der Irokesen. Das Sternbild Schütze ist in diesem Bereich nicht zu erkennen, da das Bild der Milchstraße stark bearbeitet wurde, um die dunklen Merkmale darzustellen, die mit bloßem Auge nicht sichtbar sind.",

Il s'agit manifestement d'une image composite, car les étoiles ne se reflètent pas dans l'eau. Elle est néanmoins joliment composée pour suggérer une similitude entre le courant d'eau sur Terre et le courant d'étoiles (reflété) dans le ciel.\r\n\r\nLa Voie lactée domine clairement le ciel sur cette image. En tant qu'élément dominant du ciel, la Voie lactée a été associée aux religions et aux mythologies dans de nombreuses cultures. L'association la plus connue, issue du folklore grec, l'\"explique\" comme un flux de lait divin provenant de la puissante déesse mère Héra, dont l'époux, le dieu Zeus, se comportait souvent mal (comme il l'a fait dans le cas présent, provoquant cet accident). La mythologie grecque, quant à elle, le considérait comme le chemin des âmes, tandis que la science grecque antique proposait plusieurs explications scientifiques, qui se sont toutes révélées fausses.\r\n\r\nLes Ojibwés d'Amérique du Nord, qui vivent à l'est de l'Oregon où cette photo a été prise, considèrent également la Voie Lactée comme un Chemin pour les Esprits et une Rivière des Âmes. En regardant le premier plan de la photo, cette croyance est encore plus compréhensible : on a l'impression que les rivières de la Terre et du ciel se rejoignent à l'horizon.\r\n\r\nL'élément le plus important au milieu de l'image est la région sombre appelée Nébuleuse de la Pipe dans la Voie lactée. La fumée de cette pipe se dirige vers la droite et se termine presque à la cime d'un arbre, où l'on trouve l'étoile orange Antarès au cœur du Scorpion.\r\n\r\nAu milieu de l'image, sous la Pipe, il y a une énorme zone sombre dans la Voie lactée avec deux taches rouges proéminentes. Ces taches sont des nuages d'hydrogène appelés Patte de Chat et Lagon, mais sur cette image, elles ressemblent aux yeux rouges du grand Manitou, le Grand Esprit des Amérindiens Iroquois. La constellation du Sagittaire dans cette zone n'est pas reconnaissable car l'image de la Voie lactée est hautement traitée afin d'afficher ces caractéristiques sombres qui sont invisibles à l'œil nu.",

While the telescopes and the people working with them may ignore the constellations, the photographer managed to catch the Milky Way in such a way that it almost matches the shape of the mountain.\r\n\r\nThe bright star in the top-left side of the image is Vega, one of the brightest stars in the night sky and located in the small constellation Lyra. Being a white star, it is the standard star astrophysicists use to define the colour scale. As it is also a relatively close star, only about 25 light-years away, with a relatively simple name, it frequently appears in modern science fiction, for example in Carl Sagan’s famous novel “Contact”, which was filmed in 1997 with Jodie Foster starring as a radio astronomer.\r\n\r\nThe bright star seen below the galaxy and on the left half of the image is Altair, also one of the brightest stars in the night sky and located in the constellation Aquila. Together with Deneb — a star in the constellation Cygnus (the Swan) that is not visible in this image — Altair and Vega form the Summer Triangle, a characteristic asterism of popular astronomy in the northern hemisphere, where these telescopes are located.\r\n\r\nOn the right side of the image we can see the constellation Scorpius. This is easily identified by its brightest star, Antares, the reddish star in the Scorpion’s heart. Below it, the whole body and tail of the Scorpion can be found and above it the celestial Scorpion's head is represented by three bright bluish stars. Below the tail and above the horizon, the constellation of Ara, the Altar, is half-visible, but like all the stars of Sagittarius in the Milky Way and the much fainter ones in Hercules and Ophiuchus above it, these constellations are more difficult to pinpoint in this photograph full of stars. The head of Ophiuchus is the relatively bright star in the middle between Vega and Antares. In addition to the huge size of this constellation, it is also important because it is the thirteenth one of the Zodiac, and the Sun spends roughly three weeks in Ophiuchus, after only five days in Scorpius. Furthermore, Ophiuchus represents the model for the mythological best doctor in the world, called Asklepios in Greek mythology, and Aesculab in Latin. His constellation praises all people working in medical professions, including nurses, pharmacists and doctors.",

Mentre i telescopi e le persone che vi lavorano possono ignorare le costellazioni, il fotografo è riuscito a catturare la Via Lattea in modo tale da farla quasi coincidere con la forma della montagna.\r\n\r\nLa stella luminosa in alto a sinistra dell'immagine è Vega, una delle stelle più luminose del cielo notturno, situata nella piccola costellazione della Lira. Essendo una stella bianca, è la stella standard che gli astrofisici utilizzano per definire la scala dei colori. Essendo anche una stella relativamente vicina, distante solo circa 25 anni luce, e con un nome relativamente semplice, compare spesso nella fantascienza moderna, ad esempio nel famoso romanzo di Carl Sagan \"Contact\", che è stato girato nel 1997 con Jodie Foster nel ruolo di una radioastronoma.\r\n\r\nLa stella luminosa che si vede sotto la galassia e nella metà sinistra dell'immagine è Altair, anch'essa una delle stelle più luminose del cielo notturno, situata nella costellazione dell'Aquila. Insieme a Deneb - una stella della costellazione di Cygnus (il Cigno) che non è visibile in questa immagine - Altair e Vega formano il Triangolo estivo, un asterismo caratteristico dell'astronomia popolare dell'emisfero settentrionale, dove si trovano questi telescopi.\r\n\r\nSul lato destro dell'immagine è visibile la costellazione dello Scorpione. Questa è facilmente identificabile per la sua stella più luminosa, Antares, la stella rossastra nel cuore dello Scorpione. Sotto di essa si trovano l'intero corpo e la coda dello Scorpione e al di sopra la testa celeste dello Scorpione è rappresentata da tre stelle luminose di colore bluastro. Sotto la coda e sopra l'orizzonte, la costellazione dell'Ara, l'Altare, è semi-visibile, ma come tutte le stelle del Sagittario nella Via Lattea e quelle molto più deboli di Ercole e Ofiuco sopra di essa, tali costellazioni sono più difficili da individuare in questa fotografia piena di stelle. La testa dell'Ofiuco è la stella relativamente luminosa al centro tra Vega e Antares. Oltre alle enormi dimensioni di questa costellazione, è importante anche perché è la tredicesima dello Zodiaco e il Sole trascorre circa tre settimane in Ofiuco, dopo soli cinque giorni in Scorpione. Inoltre, Ofiuco rappresenta il modello del migliore medico mitologico del mondo, chiamato Asclepio nella mitologia greca, ed Esculapio in latino. La sua costellazione elogia tutte le persone che svolgono professioni mediche, compresi infermieri, farmacisti e medici.",

Während die Teleskope und die Menschen, die mit ihnen arbeiten, die Sternbilder vielleicht ignorieren, ist es dem Fotografen gelungen, die Milchstraße so einzufangen, dass sie fast der Form des Bergkamms entspricht.\r\n\r\nDer helle Stern oben links im Bild ist Wega im kleinen Sternbild Leier (lat. Lyra), einer der hellsten Sterne am Nachthimmel. Da die Wega ein weißer Stern ist, verwenden Astronom*innen sie als Standardstern zur Definition der Farbskala. Sie ist mit einer Entfernung von nur 25 Lichtjahren auch ein relativ naher Stern und hat einen vergleichsweise einfachen Namen. Deshalb taucht sie häufig in moderner Science Fiction auf, zum Beispiel in Carl Sagans berühmtem Roman \"Contact\", der 1997 mit Jodie Foster in der Rolle der Radioastronomin Ellie Arroway verfilmt wurde.\r\n\r\nDer helle Stern unterhalb der Milchstraße in der linken Bildhälfte ist Altair im Sternbild Adler (lat. Aquila), ebenfalls einer der hellsten Sterne am Nachthimmel. Zusammen mit Deneb - einem Stern im Sternbild Schwan (lat. Cygnus), der auf diesem Bild nicht zu sehen ist - bilden Altair und Wega das Sommerdreieck, ein charakteristischer Asterismus auf der Nordhalbkugel, wo sich auch diese Teleskope befinden.\r\n\r\nAuf der rechten Seite des Bildes befindet sich das Sternbild Skorpion (lat. Scorpius), das leicht an seinem hellsten Stern Antares, dem rötlichen Stern im Herzen des Skorpions, zu erkennen ist. Darunter befinden sich der gesamte Körper und der Schwanz des Skorpions, darüber wird der Kopf des Skorpions durch drei helle bläuliche Sterne dargestellt. Unterhalb des Schwanzes und oberhalb des Horizonts ist das Sternbild Altar (lat. Ara) halb sichtbar, aber wie alle Sterne des Schützen (lat. Sagittarius) in der Milchstraße und die viel schwächeren des Herkules und des Schlangenträgers (lat. Ophiuchus) darüber, sind diese Sternbilder auf einem Foto voller Sterne wie diesem schwieriger zu erkennen. Der Kopf des Schlangenträgers ist der relativ helle Stern in der Mitte zwischen Wega und Antares. Abgesehen von der enormen Größe dieses Sternbilds ist es auch deshalb wichtig, weil es das dreizehnte Sternbild des Tierkreises ist und sich die Sonne etwa drei Wochen darin aufhält, nachdem sie nur fünf Tage im Skorpion verbracht hat. Außerdem ist der Schlangenträger das Vorbild für den mythologischen besten Arzt der Welt, der im Griechischen Asklepios und im Lateinischen Äskulap genannt wird. Das Sternbild würdigt alle Menschen, die in medizinischen Berufen arbeiten, einschließlich Krankenpfleger*innen, Apotheker*innen und Ärzt*innen.",

"caption": "Honourable mention in the 2022 IAU OAE Astrophotography Contest, category Still images of celestial patterns.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nTaken in December 2016, this image shows a clear and starry sky over the Masaya Volcano National Park in Nicaragua.\r\n\r\nThe constellation Orion is the most prominent pattern in this image. Orion is associated with a great hunter according to Greek culture, and is seen here right in the middle. The reddish star in the centre is Betelgeuse, the second-brightest in this constellation and one of the brightest in the night sky. Above and to the right of Betelgeuse we find Bellatrix, another bright star, forming the right shoulder of the hunter. Extending a line from Bellatrix to the right, we find a crookedly aligned group of faint stars comprising Orion’s bow. We can also easily see a group of three aligned bright stars forming the belt of the hunter, an asterism recognised by many different cultures. Just below his belt we can see the silverish glittering that was interpreted as the metal of Orion’s sword or knife by the Greco-Roman tradition. It was alternatively interpreted as a fish roasted on a campfire by some cultures in Australia. In its centre, with binoculars we can see the Small and the Great Orion Nebula, together forming a giant cloud of dust and gas where new stars are being formed. To the lower-left of the silverish compound of tiny stars and nebulae, there is a bright star called Saiph, the Arabic term for “Sword” or “Sabre” because it was considered the tip of a huge knife with a curved upper part. To the right of this, there is the bright bluish star Rigel, an Arabic term which designates it as The Foot of Orion.\r\n\r\nOrion’s Belt points up towards Aldebaran at the edge of the photograph and down towards Sirius among the branches of the trees; it is the brightest star in the night sky and is located in the constellation Canis Major. Earth’s atmosphere makes the bright Sirius twinkle in all colours. Seen from space it is pure white, but as its light travels through the air, it is scattered and distorted by the molecules. Therefore, the star appears to change colour like a diamond.\r\n\r\nA line connecting the two shoulders of Orion points to another bright star in the lower-left corner of the photograph. This is Procyon, located in the constellation Canis Minor. Procyon has been used by the ancient Babylonians to indicate the heliacal rise of Cancer (whose stars are faint, and invisible in twilight) and to predict the rising of Sirius. Thus, for a very long time in ancient history Procyon was considered a single-star asterism. Perhaps only in Roman times were more stars used to create a constellation in this area of the sky, although this constellation has never been clearly recognisable.",

"caption": "Menzione d'onore al concorso di astrofotografia IAU OAE 2022, categoria Immagini fisse di modelli celesti.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nScattata nel dicembre 2016, questa immagine mostra un cielo limpido e stellato sopra il Parco Nazionale del Vulcano Masaya, in Nicaragua.\r\n\r\nLa costellazione di Orione è il disegno più evidente in questa immagine. Secondo la cultura greca, Orione è associato a un grande cacciatore e qui si vede proprio al centro. La stella rossastra al centro è Betelgeuse, la seconda più luminosa di questa costellazione e una delle più luminose del cielo notturno. Sopra e a destra di Betelgeuse troviamo Bellatrix, un'altra stella luminosa, che forma la spalla destra del cacciatore. Estendendo una linea da Bellatrix verso destra, troviamo un gruppo di stelle deboli male allineate che costituiscono l'arco di Orione. Possiamo anche vedere facilmente un gruppo di tre stelle luminose allineate che formano la cintura del cacciatore, un asterismo riconosciuto da molte culture diverse. Appena sotto la cintura si può notare lo scintillio argenteo che la tradizione greco-romana interpretava come il metallo della spada o del coltello di Orione. In alternativa, alcune culture australiane l'hanno interpretato come un pesce arrostito su un falò. Al centro, con un binocolo, si possono vedere la Piccola e la Grande Nebulosa di Orione, che insieme formano una gigantesca nube di polvere e gas dove si stanno formando nuove stelle. In basso a sinistra del composto argenteo di piccole stelle e nebulose, c'è una stella luminosa chiamata Saiph, termine arabo per \"Spada\" o \"Sciabola\" perché era considerata la punta di un enorme coltello con la parte superiore ricurva. A destra di questa, si trova la luminosa stella bluastra Rigel, un termine arabo che la designa come il Piede di Orione.\r\n\r\nLa Cintura di Orione punta verso l'alto in direzione di Aldebaran ai margini della fotografia e verso il basso in direzione di Sirio tra i rami degli alberi; è la stella più luminosa del cielo notturno e si trova nella costellazione del Cane Maggiore. L'atmosfera terrestre fa scintillare la luminosa Sirio in tutti i colori. Vista dallo spazio è bianca candida, ma quando la sua luce viaggia attraverso l'aria, viene dispersa e distorta dalle molecole. Pertanto, la stella sembra cambiare colore come un diamante.\r\n\r\nUna linea che collega le due spalle di Orione indica un'altra stella luminosa nell'angolo in basso a sinistra della fotografia. Si tratta di Procione, situata nella costellazione del Cane Minore. Procione è stata usata dagli antichi Babilonesi per indicare la levata eliaca del Cancro (le cui stelle sono deboli e invisibili al crepuscolo) e per prevedere il sorgere di Sirio. Pertanto, per molto tempo nella storia antica Procione è stato considerato un asterismo a una sola stella. Forse solo in epoca romana furono utilizzate più stelle per creare una costellazione in questa zona del cielo, anche se questa costellazione non è mai stata chiaramente riconoscibile.",

"caption": "Lobende Erwähnung beim IAU OAE Astrofoto-Wettbewerb 2022, Kategorie Weitwinkelaufnahmen von Himmelsmustern.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nDas Sternbild Orion ist das auffälligste Sternmuster in diesem Bild. Orion wird in der griechischen Kultur mit einem großen Jäger assoziiert und befindet sich genau in der Mitte des Bildes. Der rötliche Stern rechts der Bildmitte ist Beteigeuze, der zweithellste Stern in diesem Sternbild und mit einer der hellsten Sterne am Nachthimmel. Rechts oberhalb von Beteigeuze befindet sich Bellatrix, ein weiterer heller Stern, der die rechte Schulter des Jägers bildet. Geht man von Bellatrix nach rechts, stößt man auf eine Gruppe schwacher Sterne entlang einer gekrümmten Linie, die den Bogen des Orion bilden. Leichter zu erkennen ist eine Gruppe von drei hellen Sternen, die den Gürtel des Jägers bilden, ein Asterismus, der in vielen verschiedenen Kulturen eine Bedeutung hat. Direkt unter dem Gürtel sehen wir einen silbrigen Schimmer, der in der griechisch-römischen Tradition als das Metall von Orions Schwert oder als Messer interpretiert wurde. In einigen Kulturen Australiens gilt es stattdessen als ein über einem Lagerfeuer gebratener Fisch. Mit einem Fernglas können wir in seinem Zentrum den Kleinen und den Großen Orionnebel erkennen, die zusammen eine riesige Gas- und Staubwolke bilden, in der neue Sterne entstehen. Links unterhalb des silbrigen Schimmers aus winzigen Sternen und Nebeln befindet sich ein heller Stern namens Saiph, der arabische Begriff für \"Schwert\" oder \"Säbel\", da er als Spitze eines riesigen Messers mit einem gebogenen oberen Teil angesehen wurde. Rechts davon befindet sich der helle bläuliche Stern Rigel, ein arabischer Begriff, der \"Fuß des Orion\" bedeutet.\r\n\r\nDer Gürtel des Orion zeigt nach oben zu Aldebaran am Bildrand und nach unten zu Sirius zwischen den Ästen der Bäume. Sirius ist der hellste Stern am Nachthimmel und befindet sich im Sternbild Großer Hund (lat. Canis Major). Die Erdatmosphäre lässt den hellen Sirius in allen Farben schillern. Vom Weltraum aus gesehen ist er rein weiß, aber auf seinem Weg durch die Luft wird sein Licht von den Molekülen gestreut und verzerrt. Daher scheint der Stern seine Farbe wie ein funkelnder Diamant zu wechseln.\r\n\r\nEine Linie, die die beiden Schultern des Orion verbindet, weist auf einen weiteren hellen Stern in der unteren linken Ecke des Fotos hin. Es handelt sich dabei um Procyon im Sternbild Kleiner Hund (lat. Canis Minor). Procyon wurde von den alten Babyloniern als Zeiger für den heliakischen Aufgang des Krebses verwendet (dessen Sterne schwach und in der Dämmerung unsichtbar sind) und um den Aufgang des Sirius vorherzusagen. Daher wurde Procyon in der Antike lange Zeit als Einzelsternbild betrachtet. Vermutlich erst in der römischen Zeit wurden mehr Sterne verwendet, um ein Sternbild in diesem Bereich des Himmels zu schaffen, obwohl dieses Sternbild nie klar erkennbar war.",

Orion est associé à un grand chasseur selon la culture grecque, et est vu ici en plein milieu de l'image. L'étoile rougeâtre au centre est Bételgeuse, la deuxième étoile plus brillante de cette constellation et l'une des plus brillantes du ciel nocturne. Au-dessus et à droite de Bételgeuse se trouve Bellatrix, une autre étoile brillante, qui forme l'épaule droite du chasseur. En prolongeant une ligne à partir de Bellatrix vers la droite, nous trouvons un groupe d'étoiles faibles formant une courbe, associée à l'arc d'Orion. Nous pouvons également voir facilement un groupe de trois étoiles brillantes alignées formant la ceinture du chasseur, un astérisme reconnu par de nombreuses cultures différentes. Juste en dessous de la ceinture, on peut voir le scintillement argenté qui a été interprété comme le métal de l'épée ou du couteau d'Orion par la tradition gréco-romaine. Certaines cultures australiennes l'ont également interprété comme un poisson rôti sur un feu de camp. En son centre, avec des jumelles, on peut voir la Petite et la Grande Nébuleuse d'Orion, qui forment ensemble un gigantesque nuage de poussière et de gaz où de nouvelles étoiles sont en train de se former. En bas à gauche de l'ensemble argenté de minuscules étoiles et de nébuleuses, se trouve une étoile brillante appelée Saiph, terme arabe signifiant \"épée\" ou \"sabre\", car elle était considérée comme la pointe d'un énorme couteau à la partie supérieure recourbée. À sa droite se trouve l'étoile bleuâtre Rigel, un terme arabe qui désigne le pied (ici, celui d'Orion).\r\n\r\nLa ceinture d'Orion pointe vers Aldébaran au bord de la photo et vers Sirius entre les branches des arbres ; c'est l'étoile la plus brillante du ciel nocturne et elle est située dans la constellation Canis Major. L'atmosphère terrestre fait scintiller Sirius de toutes les couleurs. Vue de l'espace, elle est d'un blanc pur, mais lorsque sa lumière traverse l'air, elle est diffusée et déformée par les molécules. C'est pourquoi l'étoile semble changer de couleur comme un diamant.\r\n\r\nUne ligne reliant les deux épaules d'Orion pointe vers une autre étoile brillante dans le coin inférieur gauche de la photo. Il s'agit de Procyon, située dans la constellation Canis Minor. Procyon a été utilisée par les anciens Babyloniens pour indiquer le lever héliaque du Cancer (dont les étoiles sont faibles et invisibles au crépuscule) et pour prédire le lever de Sirius. Ainsi, pendant très longtemps dans l'histoire ancienne, Procyon a été considérée comme un astérisme à une seule étoile. Ce n'est peut-être qu'à l'époque romaine qu'un plus grand nombre d'étoiles ont été utilisées pour créer une constellation dans cette région du ciel, bien que cette constellation n'ait jamais été clairement reconnaissable.",

However, the viewer is misled by the clouds; five of the stars form a tiny chariot, one is next to the handle, and three are at the other end of the quadrilateral. Eight stars would be clearly visible if there were no clouds.\r\n\r\nThis configuration of the young Moon next to the Pleiades is visible only in the northern hemisphere spring. Thus it was used by the ancient Babylonians to determine the second month of their year and to judge whether or not an intercalary month was necessary. At least as early as the second millennium before the common era, the Babylonians used several asterisms for each month, with another one of them reappearing every five days after invisibility during daylight. To determine the necessity of intercalation in order to synchronise the solar and the lunar year, the Babylonians used several asterisms, not only the Pleiades. For instance, they also made use of the bright stars Arcturus and Sirius, and they observed a configuration with the Moon as well as heliacal phenomena. The modern Jewish and modern Islamic traditions still make use of some of the Babylonian astronomical rules. However, given that the constellations have shifted as a result of precession, and the fact that nowadays we also have computational means to calculate our calendars, this configuration of the small crescent Moon and the Pleiades is less useful, though it remains exceptionally beautiful. Thus the ancient Babylonian and middle Babylonian tradition survives only rudimentarily. Furthermore, it is unlikely that it is depicted in the Nebra Disc from Bronze Age Europe, as has long been claimed.\r\n\r\nThis image was taken on Elba Island, Italy, in May 2022.",

Tuttavia, l'osservatore è tratto in inganno dalle nuvole; cinque delle stelle formano un piccolo carro, una è accanto al manico e tre sono all'altra estremità del quadrilatero. Se non ci fossero le nuvole, sarebbero chiaramente visibili otto stelle.\r\n\r\nQuesta configurazione della Luna giovane accanto alle Pleiadi è visibile solo nella primavera dell'emisfero settentrionale. Per questo motivo veniva utilizzata dagli antichi Babilonesi per determinare il secondo mese del loro anno e per giudicare se fosse necessario o meno un mese intercalare. Almeno a partire dal secondo millennio prima dell'era comune, i Babilonesi utilizzavano diversi asterismi per ogni mese, con un altro di essi che ricompariva ogni cinque giorni dopo l'invisibilità durante il giorno. Per determinare la necessità di intercalare per sincronizzare l'anno solare e quello lunare, i Babilonesi utilizzavano diversi asterismi, non solo le Pleiadi. Ad esempio, utilizzavano anche le stelle luminose Arturo e Sirio, e osservavano una configurazione con la Luna e i fenomeni eliaci. Le moderne tradizioni ebraiche ed islamiche fanno ancora uso di alcune regole astronomiche babilonesi. Tuttavia, dato che le costellazioni si sono spostate a causa della precessione e che oggi disponiamo anche di mezzi informatici per calcolare i nostri calendari, questa configurazione della piccola Luna crescente e delle Pleiadi è meno utile, anche se rimane eccezionalmente bella. Così la tradizione antico-babilonese e medio-babilonese sopravvive solo in modo rudimentale. Inoltre, è improbabile che sia raffigurata nel disco di Nebra dell'Europa dell'Età del Bronzo, come si è sostenuto a lungo.\r\n\r\nQuesta immagine è stata scattata all'Isola d'Elba, in Italia, nel maggio 2022.",

Allerdings werden Betrachter*innen durch die Wolken in die Irre geführt, denn fünf der Sterne bilden eine verkleinerte Version des Großen Wagens. Einer befindet sich neben der Deichsel, während drei am anderen Ende des Vierecks stehen. Ohne die Wolken wären acht Sterne deutlich sichtbar.\r\n\r\nEine Anordnung der zunehmenden Mondsichel neben den Plejaden wie diese ist auf der Nordhalbkugel nur im Frühling sichtbar. Die alten Babylonier nutzten sie, um den zweiten Monat ihres Jahres zu bestimmen und zu entscheiden, ob ein Schaltmonat notwendig war oder nicht. Mindestens seit dem zweiten Jahrtausend vor unserer Zeitrechnung verwendeten die Babylonier für jeden Monat mehrere Asterismen, von denen alle fünf Tage ein anderer wieder auftauchte, nachdem er bei Tageslicht unsichtbar war. Um die zur Synchronisierung von Sonnen- und Mondjahr notwendige Schaltzeiträume zu bestimmen, nutzten die Babylonier nicht nur die Plejaden, sondern mehrere Sterngruppen. Auch die hellen Sterne Arkturus und Sirius dienten als Anhaltspunkte: Beobachtet wurden Konjunktionen mit dem Mond sowie heliakische Phänomene. Die modernen jüdischen und islamischen Traditionen greifen noch immer auf einige der babylonischen astronomischen Regeln zurück. Da sich jedoch die Sternbilder aufgrund der Präzession verschoben haben und wir heute auch über Computer verfügen, um unsere Kalender zu berechnen, ist diese Konstellation der schmalen Mondsichel und der Plejaden weniger nützlich, wenngleich sie immer noch außergewöhnlich schön ist. Die altbabylonische und mittelbabylonische Tradition ist also nur noch rudimentär vorhanden. Außerdem ist es unwahrscheinlich, dass sie auf der Scheibe von Nebra aus dem bronzezeitlichen Europa abgebildet ist, wie lange behauptet wurde.\r\n\r\nDieses Bild wurde im Mai 2022 auf der italienischen Insel Elba aufgenommen.",

Various cultures have different stories associated with Orion. The Aymara in this area of the world (Bolivia and Northern Chile) consider Orion’s Belt to be a Sky Bridge (chacka cilitu) or a Stairway made out of dough. This stairway is rather obvious in this picture. It appears as if the stars in the sky are scattered like grains of salt on the ground — an amazing composition.\r\n\r\nFor the Aymara, who were Christianised by the Spanish conquistadores, Orion and the Stairway are connected to the November festivals of the dead ancestors and the souls. In contrast to the original Christian culture, for these people in the southern hemisphere these festivals mark the beginning of summer, not the beginning of winter. While in the north, the “ghosts” of the ancestors are represented by the foggy weather in November, the Aymara greet the ancestors with flowers. This photograph in the dry salt flat, in contrast, seems to show the unlivable loneliness where the photographer meets the souls of the deceased.\r\n\r\nThe Yolnu people of Arnhem Land in Australia’s Northern Territory have a rich culturally significant story associated with Orion that carries a lesson. It tells of the three brothers of the Kingfish clan and their canoe Djulpan. Owing to their lack of patience, the brothers ate the sacred Kingfish, angering the Sun woman Walu who created a waterspout that sent them into the sky. Looking at the constellation Orion, the three stars in Orion’s belt represent the three brothers, Orion’s sword is the fishing line, and the two dimmer stars Bellatrix and Saiph form the two ends of the canoe Djulpan.",

Varie culture hanno storie diverse associate a Orione. Gli Aymara di questa zona del mondo (Bolivia e Cile settentrionale) considerano la Cintura di Orione come un Ponte del Cielo (chacka cilitu) o una Scala fatta di pasta. La scala è piuttosto evidente in questa immagine. Sembra che le stelle del cielo siano sparse come granelli di sale sul terreno: una composizione sorprendente.\r\n\r\nPer gli Aymara, cristianizzati dai conquistadores spagnoli, Orione e la Scala sono collegati alle feste di novembre degli antenati morti e delle anime. In contrasto con la cultura cristiana originaria, per questi popoli dell'emisfero meridionale tali festività segnano l'inizio dell'estate, non l'inizio dell'inverno. Mentre al nord i \"fantasmi\" degli antenati sono rappresentati dalla nebbia di novembre, gli Aymara salutano gli antenati con i fiori. Questa fotografia nell'arida piana salata, al contrario, sembra mostrare l'invivibile solitudine in cui il fotografo incontra le anime dei defunti.\r\n\r\nGli Yolnu della Terra di Arnhem, nel Territorio del Nord dell'Australia, hanno una ricca storia culturalmente significativa associata a Orione che porta con sé un insegnamento. Racconta dei tre fratelli del clan Kingfish e della loro canoa Djulpan. A causa della loro mancanza di pazienza, i fratelli mangiarono il sacro pesce re, facendo arrabbiare la donna del sole Walu che creò una tromba d'acqua che li mandò in cielo.

Verschiedene Kulturen haben unterschiedliche Geschichten mit dem Orion verbunden. Die Aymara aus dieser Region der Welt (Bolivien und Nordchile) betrachten den Gürtel des Orion als eine Himmelsbrücke (chacka cilitu) oder eine aus Teig gefertigte Treppe. Die Figur der Treppe ist auf diesem Bild ziemlich offensichtlich. Es scheint, als ob die Sterne am Himmel wie Salzkörner auf dem Boden verstreut sind - eine erstaunliche Komposition.\r\n\r\nFür die Aymara, die von den spanischen Eroberern christianisiert wurden, sind Orion und die Treppe mit den Novemberfesten der toten Ahnen und der Seelen verbunden. Im Gegensatz zu dieser ursprünglich christlichen Tradition markieren diese Feste für diese Menschen auf der Südhalbkugel allerdings den Sommeranfang und nicht den Beginn des Winters. Während auf der Nordhalbkugel die \"Geister\" der Ahnen durch das neblige Wetter im November repräsentiert werden, grüßen die Aymara ihre Vorfahren mit Blumen.

"caption": "Winner in the 2022 IAU OAE Astrophotography Contest, category Still images of celestial patterns.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThis image, taken in Slovakia in January 2022, shows regions of the Milky Way and a rich variety of constellations. The summer constellations of the northern hemisphere are very low in the sky towards the bottom-right. The bright stars of Cygnus and Lyra shine through the artificial lights at the horizon. The huge array of northern winter and autumn constellations with many bright stars are associated with diverse cultural stories.\r\n\r\nFor the Lakota people in North America the belt of the Orion constellation represents the spine of a bison (“Tayamnicankh”). Orion, the Hunter of Greek mythology, is sometimes described chasing the Seven Sisters, the Pleiades. The Arabs transformed this view by considering the follower of the Pleiades only one star instead of a constellation. Aldebaran, the star in the right eye of Taurus, the Bull, comes from this interpretation, because the name Aldebaran derives from al-dabaran, The Follower.\r\n\r\nAt the bottom-right, on the horizon, we can see the milky lightcone of the Zodiacal light stretching from the constellation Pisces through Aries, almost reaching the Pleiades, indicating the path of the planets and the Moon in this area. The Pleiades and the Hyades together form a gate on this path, where the heavenly bodies occasionally pass before entering the Milky Way. The planets were considered sheep in ancient Babylon and the modern constellation Orion was considered the “True Shepherd” of the Sky, with his shepherd’s tool reaching the ecliptic. In Roman tradition, the bright white star above the Pleiades and the Milky Way is called Capella, the Goat, which can be traced back to an Egyptian constellation in this area.\r\n\r\nAbove the treetop in the middle-right part of the image, we see the autumn square, the Andromeda Galaxy and the W-shaped pattern of Cassiopeia. To the left of this group, in the central part of the visible Milky Way, is the constellation Perseus, with Cepheus in the dark area above Cassiopeia completing the celestial family. The Andromeda saga is a Greek story from the area that is now called Israel, and is rooted in Syrian traditions. The location of Andromeda was considered by the ancient Babylonians as the location of the goddess of sexual love, and by the Syrians as the location of the goddess of fertility. According to the saga, Andromeda was chained to a rock at the coast of Jaffa (Tel Aviv) in order to protect her land from a sea monster. The name of the hero who rescued her is Perseus, probably meaning “from Persia” (today’s Iran).\r\n\r\nNoticeable in the valley are the lights from towns. The yellow light above the horizon indicates larger cities there, which are given away by their light pollution.",

Le costellazioni estive dell'emisfero settentrionale sono molto basse nel cielo, in basso a destra. Le stelle luminose del Cigno e della Lira brillano attraverso le luci artificiali all'orizzonte. La vasta gamma di costellazioni settentrionali invernali e autunnali, con molte stelle luminose, è associata a diverse culture.\r\n\r\nPer i Lakota del Nord America la cintura della costellazione di Orione rappresenta la spina dorsale di un bisonte (\"Tayamnicankh\"). Orione, il cacciatore della mitologia greca, è talvolta descritto mentre insegue le sette sorelle, le Pleiadi. Gli arabi trasformarono questa visione considerando la seguace delle Pleiadi solo una stella anziché una costellazione. Aldebaran, la stella nell'occhio destro del Toro, deriva da questa interpretazione, perché il nome Aldebaran deriva da al-dabaran, la seguace.\r\n\r\nIn basso a destra, all'orizzonte, si può vedere il lattiginoso cono di luce zodiacale che si estende dalla costellazione dei Pesci attraverso l'Ariete, fino quasi a raggiungere le Pleiadi, indicando il percorso dei pianeti e della Luna in quest'area. Le Pleiadi e le Iadi formano insieme una porta su questo percorso, dove i corpi celesti passano occasionalmente prima di entrare nella Via Lattea. I pianeti erano considerati pecore nell'antica Babilonia e la moderna costellazione di Orione era considerata il \"Vero Pastore\" del cielo, con il suo strumento da pastore che raggiungeva l'eclittica. Nella tradizione romana, la stella bianca e luminosa che sovrasta le Pleiadi e la Via Lattea è chiamata Capella, che può essere fatta risalire a una costellazione egizia presente in quest'area.\r\n\r\nSopra la chioma degli alberi, nella parte centrale destra dell'immagine, vediamo il quadrato autunnale, la Galassia di Andromeda e il motivo a W di Cassiopea. A sinistra di questo gruppo, nella parte centrale della Via Lattea visibile, si trova la costellazione di Perseo, mentre Cefeo nell'area scura sopra Cassiopea completa la famiglia celeste. La saga di Andromeda è una storia greca proveniente dall'area che oggi si chiama Israele e affonda le sue radici nelle tradizioni siriane. Il luogo in cui si trova Andromeda era considerato dagli antichi babilonesi come il luogo della dea dell'amore sessuale, e dai siriani come il luogo della dea della fertilità. Secondo la saga, Andromeda fu incatenata a una roccia sulla costa di Jaffa (Tel Aviv) per proteggere la sua terra da un mostro marino. Il nome dell'eroe che la salvò è Perseo, che probabilmente significa \"dalla Persia\" (l'odierno Iran).\r\n\r\nNella valle si notano le luci delle città. La luce gialla sopra l'orizzonte indica le città più grandi, che si distinguono per l'inquinamento luminoso.",

Die Sommersternbilder der Nordhalbkugel stehen unten rechts tief über dem Horizont. Die hellen Sterne des Schwans (lat. Cygnus) und der Leier (lat. Lyra) leuchten durch das künstliche Licht am Horizont. Die zahlreichen nördlichen Winter- und Herbststernbilder mit ihren vielen hellen Sternen sind mit verschiedenen kulturellen Geschichten verbunden.\r\n\r\nFür die Lakota in Nordamerika stellt der Gürtel des Sternbilds Orion die Wirbelsäule eines Bisons dar (\"Tayamnicankh\"). Orion, der Jäger der griechischen Mythologie, wird manchmal nachgesagt, den Sieben Schwestern (die Plejaden) nachzustellen. Die Araber wandelten diese Sichtweise ab, indem sie den Verfolger der Plejaden als einen Stern und nicht als ganzes Sternbild betrachteten. Aldebaran, der Stern im rechten Auge des Stiers (lat. Taurus), entstammt dieser Interpretation, denn der Name Aldebaran leitet sich von al-dabaran (der Verfolger) ab.\r\nUnten rechts am Horizont sehen wir den milchigen Lichtkegel des Zodiakalllichts, der sich vom Sternbild Fische (lat. Pisces) über den Widder (lat. Aries) bis fast zu den Plejaden erstreckt und den Weg der Planeten und des Mondes in diesem Gebiet anzeigt. Die Plejaden und die Hyaden bilden zusammen ein Tor auf diesem Weg, an dem die Himmelskörper gelegentlich vorbeikommen, bevor sie in die Milchstraße eintreten. Im alten Babylon galten die Planeten als Schafe, und das moderne Sternbild Orion galt als der \"Wahre Hirte\" des Himmels, dessen Hirtenstab bis zur Ekliptik reicht. In der römischen Tradition wird der helle weiße Stern über den Plejaden und der Milchstraße Capella (die Ziege) genannt, was auf ein ägyptisches Sternbild in dieser Gegend zurückgeht.\r\n\r\nÜber der Baumkrone in der rechten Bildmitte sehen wir das Herbstviereck, die Andromedagalaxie und das W-förmige Muster der Kassiopeia. Links von dieser Gruppe, im zentralen Teil der sichtbaren Milchstraße, befindet sich das Sternbild Perseus. Cepheus im dunklen Bereich über der Kassiopeia vervollständigt die Himmelsfamilie. Die Andromeda-Sage ist eine griechische Geschichte aus der Region, in der das heutige Israel liegt, und hat ihre Wurzeln in syrischen Traditionen. An der Position der Andromeda am Himmel stand bei den alten Babyloniern die Göttin der sexuellen Liebe und bei den Syrern die Göttin der Fruchtbarkeit. Der Sage nach wurde Andromeda an einen Felsen an der Küste von Jaffa (Tel Aviv) gekettet, um ihr Land vor einem Seeungeheuer zu schützen. Der Name des Helden, der sie rettete, ist Perseus, was wahrscheinlich \"aus Persien\" (dem heutigen Iran) bedeutet.\r\n\r\nIm Tal sind die Lichter der Städte zu sehen. Das gelbe Licht über dem Horizont deutet auf größere Städte hin, die sich durch ihre Lichtverschmutzung verraten.",

Still, some constellations are visible, but the Milky Way, which runs through the image with some of its brightest regions, hides in the celestial background, partially obscured by terrestrial clouds.\r\n\r\nThe Scorpion, one of the constellations of the Zodiac, is seen on the left side. We can first spot the brightest star, Antares, in the middle of a group of three in an asterism that looks like the stem of a flower growing from the clouds upwards. Its petals are the head of the scorpion. In the brightness of moonlight, the orange colour of Antares is not clearly visible. The three stars that comprise the head of the scorpion are called Acrab, Dschubba and Fang. They were recently named by the IAU in order to show the global diversity of constellations. Acrab is the Arabic term for the scorpion and Fang (The Room) is the name of the Chinese constellation made out of these stars. The Scorpion’s tail extends to the bottom of the image with the sting just above the horizon in the gap between clouds.\r\n\r\nThe constellation Centaurus is visible in the middle of this image. We can first recognise Crux and the two pointer stars, Alpha and Beta Centauri right above the clouds. The pointers are the front hooves of the centaur, while the stars of Crux were originally (before Christanity, in antiquity) considered one of the rear legs of the centaur. The stars in the front hooves are Rigil Kentaurus (mixed Arabic and Latin meaning The Foot of the Centaur), to the left, and Hadar, to the right. With Crux at the rear they comprise the legs of the mythological creature’s horse body. The humanoid torso is represented by two bright stars on the shoulders and three fainter stars for the head. The star tale says that this figure represents Chiron, the only decent one among the centaurs who was well educated and the teacher of all great heroes.\r\n\r\nThe Christian navigators who sailed to the New World around 1500 used these asterisms, although they had never seen them before in Europe. These included explorer Amerigo Vespucci whose name was given to the continent America. His shipmate Andrea Corsali, who came from Florence, where the poet Dante Alighieri was famous for his Divine Comedy written two centuries earlier, was reminded of Dante's poem by the four bright stars of Crux. It was probably in this context that they happened to invent the constellation Crux. Originally, the navigators only used the asterism for practical purposes but some time later, in the period of Christian religious wars between several new churches, celestial cartographers used the cross as a symbol of unity and against war.",

Sono ancora visibili alcune costellazioni, ma la Via Lattea, che attraversa l'immagine con alcune delle sue regioni più luminose, si nasconde sullo sfondo celeste, parzialmente oscurata dalle nuvole terrestri.\r\n\r\nLo Scorpione, una delle costellazioni dello Zodiaco, è visibile sul lato sinistro. Possiamo innanzitutto individuare la stella più luminosa, Antares, al centro di un gruppo di tre in un asterismo che sembra lo stelo di un fiore che cresce dalle nuvole verso l'alto. I suoi petali sono la testa dello scorpione. Nella luminosità della luna, il colore arancione di Antares non è chiaramente visibile. Le tre stelle che compongono la testa dello scorpione si chiamano Acrab, Dschubba e Fang. Sono state recentemente nominate da IAU per mostrare la diversità globale delle costellazioni. Acrab è il termine arabo per lo scorpione e Fang (La stanza) è il nome della costellazione cinese composta da queste stelle. La coda dello scorpione si estende fino alla parte inferiore dell'immagine, con il pungiglione appena sopra l'orizzonte nello spazio tra le nuvole.\r\n\r\nLa costellazione del Centauro è visibile al centro della foto. Possiamo riconoscere Croce del Sud e due stelle puntatrici, Alfa e Beta Centauri, sopra le nuvole. I puntatori sono gli zoccoli anteriori del centauro, e le stelle della Croce del Sud (prima di Cristo, nell'antichità) erano considerate una delle zampe posteriori del centauro. Le stelle negli zoccoli anteriori sono Rigil e Kentaurus (misto arabo e latino che significa Il piede del centauro), a sinistra, e Hadar, a destra. Con la Croce del Sud nella parte posteriore, essi costituiscono le zampe del corpo equino della creatura mitologica. Il busto umanoide è rappresentato da due stelle luminose sulle spalle e da tre stelle più deboli per la testa. Il racconto delle stelle dice che questa figura rappresenta Chirone, l'unico decente tra i centauri, ben istruito e maestro di tutti i grandi eroi.\r\n\r\nI navigatori cristiani che salparono verso il Nuovo Mondo intorno al 1500 utilizzarono questi asterismi, sebbene non li avessero mai visti prima in Europa. Tra questi c'era l'esploratore Amerigo Vespucci, il cui nome fu dato al continente America. Il suo compagno di bordo Andrea Corsali, che proveniva da Firenze, dove il poeta Dante Alighieri era famoso per la Divina Commedia scritta due secoli prima, si ricordò del poema dantesco per le quattro stelle luminose della Croce del Sud. Fu probabilmente in questo contesto che inventarono la costellazione della Croce del Sud. In origine, i navigatori utilizzavano l'asterismo solo per scopi pratici, ma qualche tempo dopo, nel periodo delle guerre religiose cristiane tra diverse nuove chiese, i cartografi celesti utilizzarono la croce come simbolo di unità e contro la guerra.",

Einige Sternbilder sind dennoch sichtbar, aber die Milchstraße, die sich mit einigen ihrer hellsten Regionen durch das Bild zieht, versteckt sich im Himmelshintergrund, teilweise verdeckt auch durch irdische Wolken.\r\n\r\nDer Skorpion (lat. Scorpius), eines der Sternbilder des Tierkreises, befindet sich auf der linken Seite. Antares, dessen hellster Stern, befindet sich in der Mitte einer Gruppe aus drei Sternen, die wie der Stiel einer Blume aussieht, die aus den Wolken nach oben wächst. Die Blütenblätter sind der Kopf des Skorpions. Bei der Helligkeit des Mondes ist die orange Farbe von Antares nicht deutlich sichtbar. Die drei Sterne, aus denen der Kopf des Skorpions besteht, heißen Acrab, Dschubba und Fang. Sie wurden kürzlich von der IAU benannt, um die globale Vielfalt der Sternbilder zu zeigen. Acrab ist die arabische Bezeichnung für den Skorpion und Fang (der Raum) ist der Name des chinesischen Sternbilds, das aus diesen Sternen besteht. Der Schwanz des Skorpions reicht bis zum unteren Rand des Bildes, wobei der Stachel knapp über dem Horizont in der Wolkenlücke zu sehen ist.\r\n\r\nDas Sternbild Zentaur (lat. Centaurus) ist in der Mitte des Bildes zu sehen. Leichter sind das Kreuz des Südens (lat. Crux) und die beiden Zeigersterne alpha und beta Centauri direkt über den Wolken zu erkennen. Die Zeigersterne sind die vorderen Hufe des Zentauren, während die Sterne des Kreuzes ursprünglich (vor dem Christentum, in der Antike) als eines der Hinterbeine des Zentauren angesehen wurden. Die Sterne in den vorderen Hufen sind Rigil Kentaurus (eine Mischung aus arabischer und lateinischer Bedeutung: der Fuß des Zentauren) links und Hadar rechts. Zusammen mit dem Kreuz am hinteren Ende bilden sie die Beine des Pferdekörpers des mythologischen Wesens. Der humanoide Torso wird durch zwei helle Sterne als Schultern und drei schwächere Sterne für den Kopf dargestellt. Die Mythologie besagt, dass diese Figur Chiron darstellt, den einzigen anständigen unter den Zentauren, der sehr gebildet und der Lehrer aller großen Helden war.\r\n\r\nDie christlichen Seefahrer, die um 1500 in die Neue Welt segelten, benutzten diese Asterismen, obwohl sie sie in Europa noch nie gesehen hatten. Zu ihnen gehörte der Entdecker Amerigo Vespucci, der dem Kontinent Amerika seinen Namen gab. Sein Schiffskamerad Andrea Corsali, der aus Florenz stammte, wo der Dichter Dante Alighieri für seine zwei Jahrhunderte zuvor verfasste Göttliche Komödie berühmt war, fühlte sich durch die vier hellen Sterne des Kreuzes an Dantes Gedicht erinnert. Wahrscheinlich erfanden sie in diesem Zusammenhang zufällig das Sternbild Crux. Ursprünglich nutzten die Seefahrer den Asterismus nur für praktische Zwecke, aber einige Zeit später, in der Zeit der christlichen Religionskriege zwischen mehreren neuen Kirchen, verwendeten die Himmelskartografen das Kreuz als Symbol der Einheit und gegen den Krieg.",

Such images of the whole sky can be taken either with a fish-eye lens or with a convex mirror on the ground, the latter of which would show the photographer as well.\r\n\r\nSome of the brightest stars in the night sky can be seen in this image, as well as two of the giant planets of our Solar System: Jupiter, the brightest point in the bottom of this image, and Saturn, another bright point just to the opposite side of the Galaxy, to the bottom and next to the horizon.\r\n\r\nDirectly right of the Milky Way and below Jupiter, we can spot the bright red star Antares, the primary star of the Japanese asterism of The Heart. Japanese constellations derive from ancient Chinese constellations, which were adopted with only slight or no changes. In this tradition, The Heart is the heart of the “Azure Dragon”, a super-constellation that represents the spring. In the Babylonian and Greco-Roman traditions, this area is considered the heart of the Scorpion. In Babylonian religion, the star is associated with Lisi, the child of the mother goddess, but in Greek mythology it is related to the planet Mars, because of its colour. The reddish colour also led to the star’s Chinese name “The Fire Star”. We know that this colour is caused by its relatively cool temperature.\r\n\r\nGoing from Antares to the right of the image, we find the more northern parts of the sky. The bright star in the lower-right of the image, close to the horizon, is Arcturus, located in the modern constellation Boötes. While Antares and its surrounding area are considered the heart of the Azure Dragon, Arcturus and Spica (below the horizon) are two single-star asterisms forming its huge horn. Pointing towards it from above, at the right-hand edge of the image’s horizon, we can see the handle of the Big Dipper, or Plough, which is part of the constellation Ursa Major.\r\n\r\nThe bright point to the right of the galaxy and just above the middle of the image is Vega, located in the modern constellation Lyra. Extending a line to the other side of the Galaxy and a bit lower in the image we can find Altair, in the constellation Aquila. From that point we extend another line to Deneb, the brightest star in the constellation of the Swan, also a bit higher in this image and completely flooded by the Milky Way. These three bright stars comprise the asterism known as the Summer Triangle in the northern hemisphere.",

Queste immagini dell'intero cielo possono essere scattate con un obiettivo fish-eye o con uno specchio convesso a terra, che mostrerebbe anche il fotografo.\r\n\r\nIn questa immagine sono visibili alcune delle stelle più luminose del cielo notturno e due dei pianeti giganti del nostro Sistema Solare: Giove, il punto più luminoso nella parte inferiore di questa immagine, e Saturno, un altro punto luminoso proprio sul lato opposto della Galassia, in basso e vicino all'orizzonte.\r\n\r\nDirettamente a destra della Via Lattea e sotto Giove, possiamo individuare la stella rossa brillante Antares, la stella primaria dell'asterismo giapponese del Cuore. Le costellazioni giapponesi derivano dalle antiche costellazioni cinesi, che sono state adottate con modifiche minime o nulle. In questa tradizione, Il Cuore è il cuore del \"Drago Azzurro\", una super-costellazione che rappresenta la primavera. Nelle tradizioni babilonese e greco-romana, questa zona è considerata il cuore dello Scorpione. Nella religione babilonese, la stella è associata a Lisi, il figlio della dea madre, ma nella mitologia greca è collegata al pianeta Marte, per via del suo colore. Il colore rossastro ha portato anche al nome cinese della \"Stella di fuoco\". Sappiamo che questo colore è dovuto alla sua temperatura relativamente fredda.\r\n\r\nPassando da Antares alla destra dell'immagine, troviamo le zone più settentrionali del cielo. La stella luminosa in basso a destra dell'immagine, vicino all'orizzonte, è Arturo, situata nella moderna costellazione di Boote. Mentre Antares e l'area circostante sono considerati il cuore del Drago Azzurro, Arturo e Spica (sotto l'orizzonte) sono due asterismi a stella singola che formano il suo enorme corno. Puntando verso di esso dall'alto, al margine destro dell'orizzonte dell'immagine, possiamo vedere il manico del Grande Carro, che fa parte della costellazione dell'Orsa Maggiore.\r\n\r\nIl punto luminoso a destra della galassia e appena sopra il centro dell'immagine è Vega, situata nella moderna costellazione della Lira. Estendendo una linea verso l'altro lato della galassia e un po' più in basso nell'immagine possiamo trovare Altair, nella costellazione dell'Aquila. Da questo punto si estende un'altra linea fino a Deneb, la stella più luminosa della costellazione del Cigno, anch'essa un po' più in alto nell'immagine e completamente sommersa dalla Via Lattea. Queste tre stelle luminose costituiscono l'asterismo noto come Triangolo estivo nell'emisfero settentrionale.",

Solche Bilder des gesamten Himmels können entweder mit einem Fischaugenobjektiv oder mit einem konvexen Spiegel auf dem Boden aufgenommen werden, wobei in letzterem Fall auch der Fotograf oder die Fotografin sichtbar wäre.\r\n\r\nEinige der hellsten Sterne am Nachthimmel sind auf diesem Bild zu sehen, ebenso wie zwei der großen Gasplaneten unseres Sonnensystems: Jupiter, der hellste Punkt im unteren Teil des Bildes, und Saturn, ein weiterer heller Punkt auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite der Galaxis, ganz unten und in der Nähe des Horizonts.\r\n\r\nDirekt rechts von der Milchstraße und unterhalb von Jupiter können wir den hellen rötlichen Stern Antares erkennen, den Hauptstern des japanischen Asterismus des Herzens. Japanische Sternbilder leiten sich von alten chinesischen Sternbildern ab, die mit nur geringen oder gar keinen Änderungen übernommen wurden. In dieser Tradition ist \"Das Herz\" das Herz des \"Blauen Drachens\", eines großen Sternbilds, das den Frühling darstellt. In der babylonischen und griechisch-römischen Tradition gilt dieser Bereich als das Herz des Skorpions. In der babylonischen Religion wird der Stern mit Lisi, dem Kind der Muttergöttin, in Verbindung gebracht, während er in der griechischen Mythologie aufgrund seiner Farbe mit dem Planeten Mars in Verbindung gebracht wird. Die rötliche Farbe hat dem Stern auch den chinesischen Namen \"Feuerstern\" eingebracht. Wir wissen, dass diese Farbe auf seine relativ kühle Temperatur zurückzuführen ist.\r\n\r\nWenn wir von Antares nach rechts im Bild gehen, finden wir die nördlicheren Teile des Himmels. Der helle Stern unten rechts im Bild, in der Nähe des Horizonts, ist Arktur, der sich im modernen Sternbild Bootes befindet. Während Antares und seine Umgebung als das Herz des Blauen Drachens gelten, sind Arktur und Spica (unter dem Horizont) zwei Einzelsterne, die sein riesiges Horn bilden. Wenn man von oben auf ihn zeigt, kann man am rechten Rand des Horizonts den Griff des Großen Wagens oder Pflugs sehen, der zum Sternbild der Großen Bärin (lat. Ursa Major) gehört.\r\n\r\nDer helle Punkt rechts von der Milchstraße und knapp über der Bildmitte ist die Wega, die im modernen Sternbild Leier (lat. Lyra) liegt. Zieht man eine Linie nach links unten auf die andere Seite der Milchstraße, trifft man auf Altair im Sternbild Adler (lat. Aquila). Von diesem Punkt aus können wir eine weitere Linie zu Deneb ziehen, dem hellsten Stern im Sternbild Schwan, der ebenfalls etwas höher im Bild liegt und vollständig von der Milchstraße überflutet wird. Diese drei hellen Sterne bilden einen Asterismus, der auf der Nordhalbkugel als Sommerdreieck bekannt ist.",

De telles images de l'ensemble du ciel peuvent être prises soit avec un objectif fish-eye, soit avec un miroir convexe au sol, ce dernier montrant également le photographe.\r\n\r\nCertaines des étoiles les plus brillantes du ciel nocturne sont visibles sur cette image, ainsi que deux des planètes géantes de notre système solaire : Jupiter, le point le plus brillant en bas de l'image, et Saturne, un autre point brillant juste à l'opposé de la galaxie, en bas et près de l'horizon.\r\n\r\nDirectement à droite de la Voie lactée et en dessous de Jupiter, nous pouvons apercevoir l'étoile rouge Antarès, étoile principale de l'astérisme japonais du Cœur. Les constellations japonaises dérivent des anciennes constellations chinoises, qui ont été adoptées avec peu ou pas de changements. Dans cette tradition, le Cœur est le cœur du \"Dragon d'azur\", une super-constellation qui représente le printemps. Dans les traditions babylonienne et gréco-romaine, cette zone est considérée comme le cœur du Scorpion. Dans la religion babylonienne, l'étoile est associée à Lisi, l'enfant de la déesse mère, mais dans la mythologie grecque, elle est liée à la planète Mars, en raison de sa couleur. La couleur rougeâtre est également à l'origine du nom chinois de l'étoile, \"l'étoile de feu\". Nous savons que cette couleur est due à sa température relativement froide.\r\n\r\nEn partant d'Antarès vers la droite de l'image, nous trouvons les parties les plus septentrionales du ciel. L'étoile brillante en bas à droite de l'image, près de l'horizon, est Arcturus, située dans la constellation moderne de la Boite à Bijoux. Alors qu'Antarès et ses environs sont considérés comme le cœur du dragon d'azur, Arcturus et Spica (sous l'horizon) sont deux astérismes mono-étoiles qui forment son énorme corne. En pointant vers elle depuis le haut, au bord droit de l'horizon de l'image, on peut voir l'anse de la Grande Ourse, ou chariot, qui fait partie de la constellation de la Grande Ourse.\r\n\r\nLe point lumineux à droite de la galaxie et juste au-dessus du centre de l'image est Véga, située dans la constellation moderne de la Lyre.

De ce point, nous prolongeons une autre ligne jusqu'à Deneb, l'étoile la plus brillante de la constellation du Cygne, également un peu plus haut sur cette image et complètement noyée par la Voie Lactée.

As pointers they point towards Crux, the Southern Cross, whose long axis points towards the southern pole, which is located roughly at the horizon because the Island of Java is almost at the equator. Crux is almost entirely obscured by clouds, with only the four bright stars visible in the photograph. Confusingly, the asterism of the False Cross (consisting of stars in Argo, The Ship) is clearly prominent a bit further up the Milky Way.\r\n\r\nThe pinkish spot between the true and the False Cross is the Carina Nebula, located about 8500 light-years from Earth, in the constellation Carina, and invisible to the unaided eye. In Carina we can also find Canopus, the second-brightest star in the night sky, seen just below the Galaxy and above the road on the ground.\r\n\r\nEven brighter is Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky. Sirius lies in the constellation Canis Major, The Great Dog, one of the dogs that follow Orion, the Hunter, who is depicted in the right half of this image, just above the clouds at the horizon. Orion’s Belt of three bright stars points to Sirius in the upper left and to Aldebaran in the lower right, just above the horizon.\r\n\r\nOrion contains some of the brightest stars in the sky, making it the most colourful constellation as it hosts Rigel, the bright bluish star below the Galaxy toward the right, and Betelgeuse, the reddish bright star higher up and to the right of Rigel. Between them we find the three stars that comprise the belt of Orion, a famous asterism. Just next to the belt we find the Great Orion Nebula, a star-forming region whose bright centre is visible to the unaided eye and also in this image.\r\n\r\nAbove Betelgeuse but on the opposite side of the Galaxy, we see the bright star Procyon, whose name means literally “Before the Dog”. It is mythologically often considered a tiny one-star dog asterism accompanying Orion, and transformed into the modern constellation of Canis Minor.\r\n\r\nIn the upper-right corner, the Beehive Star Cluster in the constellation Cancer is easily recognisable. Below it, we find the constellation Gemini with the stars Pollux and Castor, which are not prominent in this image. In contrast, the bright white star Capella in the constellation Auriga, the Charioteer, shines through the clouds at the middle-right edge of the image.\r\n\r\nSome light pollution is visible along the road.",

Come puntatori indicano Crux, la Croce del Sud, il cui asse lungo punta verso il polo sud, che si trova all'incirca all'orizzonte perché l'isola di Giava è quasi all'equatore. Crux è quasi interamente oscurata dalle nuvole e nella fotografia sono visibili solo le quattro stelle luminose. Al contrario, invece, l'asterismo della Falsa Croce (composto dalle stelle di Argo, La Nave) è chiaramente visibile un po' più in alto nella Via Lattea.\r\n\r\nLa macchia rosata tra la Vera e la Falsa Croce è la Nebulosa Carina, situata a circa 8500 anni luce dalla Terra, nella costellazione di Carina, e invisibile a occhio nudo. In Carina si trova anche Canopo, la seconda stella più luminosa del cielo notturno, visibile appena sotto la Galassia e sopra la strada a terra.\r\n\r\nAncora più luminosa è Sirio, la stella più brillante del cielo notturno. Sirio si trova nella costellazione del Canis Major, il Cane Maggiore, uno dei cani che seguono Orione, il Cacciatore, che è raffigurato nella metà destra di questa immagine, appena sopra le nuvole all'orizzonte. La Cintura di Orione, composta da tre stelle luminose, punta su Sirio in alto a sinistra e su Aldebaran in basso a destra, appena sopra l'orizzonte.\r\n\r\nOrione contiene alcune delle stelle più luminose del cielo, che la rendono la costellazione più colorata. Rigel, la stella luminosa bluastra sotto la Galassia verso destra, e Betelgeuse, la stella luminosa rossastra più in alto e a destra di Rigel. Tra di esse si trovano le tre stelle che compongono la Cintura di Orione, un famoso asterismo. Proprio accanto alla cintura si trova la Grande Nebulosa di Orione, una regione di formazione stellare il cui centro luminoso è visibile a occhio nudo e anche in questa immagine.\r\n\r\nSopra Betelgeuse, ma sul lato opposto della Galassia, si trova la luminosa stella Procione, il cui nome significa letteralmente \"Prima del cane\". Mitologicamente è spesso considerata un piccolo asterismo a una stella che accompagna Orione, trasformato nella moderna costellazione del Canis Minor.\r\n\r\nNell'angolo in alto a destra è facilmente riconoscibile l'ammasso stellare dell'Alveare nella costellazione del Cancro. Sotto di esso, troviamo la costellazione dei Gemelli con le stelle Polluce e Castore, che non sono evidenti in questa immagine. Al contrario, la luminosa stella bianca Capella nella costellazione dell'Auriga, brilla attraverso le nuvole al margine centrale destro dell'immagine.\r\n\r\nLungo la strada è visibile un certo inquinamento luminoso.",

Centaurus) die beiden hellen Sterne Rigil Kentaurus und Hadar, der eine weiter unten, der andere weiter oben. Als Zeiger zeigen sie auf das Kreuz des Südens (lat. Crux), dessen lange Achse auf den Südpol zeigt, der sich ungefähr am Horizont befindet, weil Java fast am Äquator liegt. Das Kreuz des Südens ist fast vollständig von Wolken verdeckt, so dass nur die vier hellen Sterne auf dem Foto zu sehen sind. Verwirrenderweise ist der Asterismus des Falschen Kreuzes (bestehend aus Sternen im Schiff Argo) etwas weiter oben in der Milchstraße deutlich zu erkennen.\r\n\r\nDer rosafarbene Fleck zwischen dem echten und dem falschen Kreuz ist der Carinanebel, der sich etwa 8500 Lichtjahre von der Erde entfernt im Sternbild Schiffskiel (lat. Carina) befindet und für das bloße Auge unsichtbar ist. Im Schiffskiel befindet sich auch Canopus, der zweithellste Stern am Nachthimmel, der direkt unterhalb der Milchstraße und oberhalb der Straße am Boden zu sehen ist.\r\n\r\nNoch heller ist Sirius, der hellste Stern am Nachthimmel. Sirius liegt im Sternbild Großer Hund (lat. Canis Major), einem der Hunde, die dem Himmelsjäger Orion folgen, der in der rechten Hälfte dieses Bildes knapp über den Wolken am Horizont zu sehen ist. Der aus drei hellen Sternen bestehende Gürtel des Orion zeigt auf Sirius oben links und auf Aldebaran unten rechts, knapp über dem Horizont.\r\n\r\nOrion enthält einige der hellsten Sterne am Himmel und ist mit Rigel, dem hellen bläulichen Stern unterhalb der Milchstraße rechts, und Beteigeuze, dem hellen rötlichen Stern rechts oberhalb von Rigel, auch das farbenprächtigste Sternbild. Dazwischen befinden sich die drei Sterne, die den Gürtel des Orion bilden, ein bekannter Asterismus. Direkt neben dem Gürtel befindet sich der Große Orionnebel, ein Sternentstehungsgebiet, dessen helles Zentrum mit bloßem Auge und auch auf diesem Bild sichtbar ist.\r\n\r\nOberhalb von Beteigeuze, aber auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite der Milchstraße, sehen wir den hellen Stern Procyon, dessen Name wörtlich \"Vor dem Hund\" bedeutet. In der Mythologie wird er oft als winziger Hunde-Asterismus aus einem Stern in Begleitung des Orion betrachtet, der sich in das moderne Sternbild Kleiner Hund (lat. Canis Minor) verwandelt hat.\r\n\r\nIn der oberen rechten Ecke ist der Sternhaufen der Praesepe im Sternbild Krebs (lat. Cancer) gut zu erkennen. Darunter befindet sich das Sternbild Zwillinge mit den Sternen Castor und Pollux, die auf diesem Bild nicht zu sehen sind. Im Gegensatz dazu leuchtet der helle weiße Stern Capella im Sternbild Fuhrmann (lat. Auriga) durch die Wolken am mittleren rechten Bildrand.\r\n\r\nEntlang der Straße ist etwas Lichtverschmutzung zu erkennen.",

Ils pointent vers la Croix du Sud, dont le grand axe pointe vers le pôle sud, qui se trouve à peu près à l'horizon car l'île de Java est presque à l'équateur. La Croix du Sud est presque entièrement obscurcie par les nuages, et seules les quatre étoiles brillantes sont visibles sur la photo. L'astérisme de la fausse croix (composé des étoiles d'Argo, le navire) est clairement visible un peu plus loin dans la Voie lactée, ce qui peut prêter à confusion.\r\n\r\nLa tache rosée entre la vraie et la fausse croix est la nébuleuse de la Carène, située à environ 8500 années-lumière de la Terre, dans la constellation de la Carène, et invisible à l'œil nu. Dans la constellation de la Carène se trouve également Canopus, la deuxième étoile la plus brillante du ciel nocturne, visible juste en dessous de la galaxie et au-dessus de la route au sol.\r\n\r\nSirius, l'étoile la plus brillante du ciel nocturne, est encore plus brillante. Sirius se trouve dans la constellation Canis Major, le Grand Chien, l'un des chiens qui suivent Orion, le Chasseur, représenté dans la moitié droite de cette image, juste au-dessus des nuages à l'horizon. La ceinture d'Orion, composée de trois étoiles brillantes, pointe vers Sirius en haut à gauche et vers Aldébaran en bas à droite, juste au-dessus de l'horizon.\r\n\r\nOrion contient certaines des étoiles les plus brillantes du ciel, ce qui en fait la constellation la plus colorée, car elle abrite Rigel, l'étoile bleuâtre brillante située sous la galaxie vers la droite, et Bételgeuse, l'étoile rougeâtre brillante située plus haut et à droite de Rigel. Entre elles se trouvent les trois étoiles qui forment la ceinture d'Orion, un astérisme célèbre.

En dessous, on trouve la constellation des Gémeaux avec les étoiles Pollux et Castor, qui ne sont pas très visibles sur cette image.

"caption": "Winner in the 2022 IAU OAE Astrophotography Contest, category Still images of celestial patterns.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThis image was taken in July 2016 from the Amboseli National Park in Kenya, located close to the equator.\r\n\r\nIn Egyptian mythology from northern Africa, the Milky Way was associated with a river sailed by gods and souls. The Zulu in South Africa interpret this pattern of dark and bright clouds of stars as an animal with black and white skin, whereas the South African Khoikhoi and San considered it “The Star’s Road”. In several South African cultures, the arch of the Milky Way is a pathway to the heavens formed by a mother goddess, according to a South African creation myth that was adopted in the 19th century from early ethnological research, but has vanished today.\r\n\r\nIn the middle-right of the image we find the bright red star Antares in the modern constellation of the Scorpion and at the upper-left edge is the white star Vega that is considered a Male Steenbok by the peoples around Cape Town.\r\n\r\nIndigenous Australians have many names for the Milky Way. The Yolnu people of Arnhem Land in Australia’s Northern Territory refer to the Milky Way as Milnguya, the sky river. One of the prominent patterns in this image is associated with the contrast between the light and dark regions of the Milky Way.\r\n\r\nThese dark regions are cool dense clouds of interstellar dust and gas, which block the light from stars behind them. One of the prominent patterns is that of the Celestial Emu referred to as Tchingal by several Indigenous peoples of south Australia. The head and beak of the emu (the Coalsack Nebula) lie to the bottom-left of the Southern Cross (seen in the far bottom-right of the image), and the body and legs stretch leftward from it. Other indigenous groups associate the dark regions with caves or waterways. The orientation of the emu over the year provides important clues as to when it is time to pick emu eggs, and when the eggs are hatching. In some months, when these clouds of the Milky Way are close to the horizon, they are not considered as emu at all but as two creeping crocodiles.\r\n\r\nThe modern figure of the dark Pipe Nebula is clearly visible above the centre of the Galaxy; the smoke of this pipe reaches the colourful rho Ophiuchi region next to Antares in Scorpius, the orange-red star just above the Milky Way. Antares is referred to by the Boorong people as Djuit, the red-rumped parrot, while the Kokatha people of the Western Desert refer to Antares as Kogolongo, the red-tailed black cockatoo.\r\n\r\nIn addition, some notable constellations can be seen: Cygnus, Aquila, Lyra, Scorpius, Sagittarius, Crux, and Centaurus. The pointer stars, Alpha and Beta Centauri, are occasionally interpreted as The Eyes of the Beast in some South African traditions.",

Gli Zulu, in Sudafrica, interpretano questo disegno di nuvole scure e luminose di stelle come un animale dalla pelle bianca e nera, mentre i Khoikhoi e i San sudafricani la considerano \"la strada delle stelle\". In diverse culture sudafricane, l'arco della Via Lattea è un percorso verso il cielo formato da una dea madre, secondo un mito della creazione sudafricano adottato nel XIX secolo dalle prime ricerche etnologiche, ma oggi scomparso.\r\n\r\nAl centro-destra dell'immagine si trova la stella rossa Antares, nella moderna costellazione dello Scorpione, mentre in alto a sinistra si trova la stella bianca Vega, considerata uno stambecco maschio dalle popolazioni intorno a Città del Capo.\r\n\r\nGli indigeni australiani hanno molti nomi per la Via Lattea. Gli Yolnu della Terra di Arnhem, nel Territorio del Nord dell'Australia, chiamano la Via Lattea Milnguya, il fiume del cielo. Uno dei motivi più evidenti di questa immagine è associato al contrasto tra le regioni chiare e scure della Via Lattea.\r\n\r\nQueste regioni scure sono nubi dense e fredde di polvere e gas interstellare, che bloccano la luce delle stelle dietro di loro. Uno dei modelli più evidenti è quello dell'Emù Celeste, chiamato Tchingal da diverse popolazioni indigene dell'Australia meridionale. La testa e il becco dell'emù (la nebulosa Coalsack) si trovano in basso a sinistra della Croce del Sud (visibile all'estrema destra dell'immagine), mentre il corpo e le zampe si estendono verso sinistra. Altri gruppi indigeni associano le regioni scure a grotte o corsi d'acqua. L'orientamento dell'emù nel corso dell'anno fornisce importanti indizi su quando è il momento di raccogliere le uova di emù e quando le uova si schiudono. In alcuni mesi, quando queste nuvole della Via Lattea sono vicine all'orizzonte, non vengono considerate affatto emu, ma due coccodrilli striscianti.\r\n\r\nLa figura moderna della scura Nebulosa della Pipa è chiaramente visibile sopra il centro della Galassia; il fumo di questa pipa raggiunge la colorata regione di Rho Ophiuchi accanto ad Antares nello Scorpione, la stella rosso-arancio appena sopra la Via Lattea. I Boorong chiamano Antares Djuit, il pappagallo dalla gobba rossa, mentre i Kokatha del deserto occidentale la chiamano Kogolongo, il cacatua nero dalla coda rossa.\r\n\r\nInoltre, si possono osservare alcune costellazioni di rilievo: Cigno, Aquila, Lira, Scorpione, Sagittarii, Croce e Centauro. Le stelle puntatrici, Alfa e Beta Centauri, sono occasionalmente interpretate come gli occhi della bestia in alcune tradizioni sudafricane.",

Die Zulu in Südafrika interpretieren dieses Muster aus Dunkelwolken und hellen Sternansammlungen als ein Tier mit schwarzer und weißer Haut, während die südafrikanischen Khoikhoi und San sie als \"die Straße der Sterne\" betrachten. In mehreren südafrikanischen Kulturen ist das Band der Milchstraße ein von einer Muttergöttin geformter Weg zum Himmel, so ein südafrikanischer Schöpfungsmythos, der im 19. Jahrhundert von der frühen ethnologischen Forschung aufgegriffen wurde, heute aber verschwunden ist.\r\nRechts oberhalb der Bildmitte befindet sich der helle rötliche Stern Antares im modernen Sternbild des Skorpions und am linken Bildrand der weißblaue Stern Wega, der bei den Völkern um Kapstadt als männlicher Steinbock gilt.\r\nDie australischen Ureinwohner haben viele Namen für die Milchstraße. Das Volk der Yolnu im Arnhemland im australischen Northern Territory bezeichnet die Milchstraße als Milnguya, den Himmelsfluss. Eines der auffälligen Muster in diesem Bild ist mit dem Kontrast zwischen den hellen und dunklen Regionen der Milchstraße verbunden.\r\n\r\nDiese dunklen Regionen sind kühle, dichte Wolken aus interstellarem Staub und Gas, die das Licht der dahinterliegenden Sterne verdunkeln. Eines der auffälligen Muster ist das des himmlischen Emus, das von mehreren indigenen Völkern Südaustraliens Tchingal genannt wird. Der Kopf und der Schnabel des Emus (die Kohlensack genannte Dunkelwolke) befinden sich links vom Kreuz des Südens (ganz unten rechts im Bild), und der Körper und die Beine erstrecken sich von dort aus nach links. Andere indigene Gruppen assoziieren die dunklen Regionen mit Höhlen oder Wasserwegen. Die Ausrichtung des Emus im Laufe des Jahres gibt wichtige Hinweise darauf, wann es Zeit ist, Emu-Eier zu sammeln und wann die Küken schlüpfen. In manchen Monaten, wenn diese Wolken der Milchstraße nahe am Horizont stehen, werden sie gar nicht als Emu, sondern als zwei kriechende Krokodile angesehen.\r\n\r\nDie moderne Figur des ebenfalls dunklen Pfeifennebels steht über dem Zentrum der Milchstraße. Der Rauch dieser Pfeife erreicht die farbenfrohe Region rho Ophiuchi neben Antares im Skorpion, dem orange-roten Stern direkt über der Milchstraße. Antares wird vom Volk der Boorong als Djuit (der Singsittich) bezeichnet, während das Volk der Kokatha in der westlichen Wüste Antares als Kogolongo (der Rotschwanz-Rabenkakadu) bezeichnet.\r\n\r\nDarüber hinaus sind einige markante Sternbilder zu sehen: der Schwan (lat.

Les Zoulous d'Afrique du Sud interprètent ce motif de nuages d'étoiles sombres et brillantes comme un animal à la peau noire et blanche, tandis que les Khoikhoi et les San d'Afrique du Sud le considèrent comme \"la route des étoiles\". Dans plusieurs cultures sud-africaines, l'arc de la Voie lactée est un chemin vers les cieux formé par une déesse mère, selon un mythe de la création sud-africaine qui a été adopté au XIXe siècle à partir de recherches ethnologiques anciennes, mais qui a disparu aujourd'hui.\r\n\r\nAu milieu de l'image, à droite, se trouve l'étoile rouge brillante Antarès, dans la constellation du Scorpion, et en haut à gauche, l'étoile blanche Vega, considérée comme un Steenbok mâle par les peuples de la région du Cap.\r\n\r\nLes indigènes australiens ont de nombreux noms pour désigner la Voie lactée. Le peuple Yolnu de la région d'Arnhem, dans le Territoire du Nord de l'Australie, appelle la Voie lactée Milnguya, la rivière du ciel. L'un des principaux motifs de cette image est associé au contraste entre les régions claires et sombres de la Voie lactée.\r\n\r\nCes régions sombres sont des nuages denses et froids de poussières et de gaz interstellaires, qui bloquent la lumière des étoiles situées derrière eux. L'un des motifs les plus visibles est celui de l'émeu céleste, appelé Tchingal par plusieurs peuples indigènes du sud de l'Australie. La tête et le bec de l'émeu (la nébuleuse Coalsack) se trouvent en bas à gauche de la Croix du Sud (en bas à droite de l'image), tandis que le corps et les pattes s'étendent vers la gauche. D'autres groupes indigènes associent les régions sombres à des grottes ou à des cours d'eau. L'orientation de l'émeu au cours de l'année fournit des indications importantes sur le moment de la cueillette des œufs d'émeu et sur la période d'éclosion des œufs. Certains mois, lorsque ces nuages de la Voie lactée sont proches de l'horizon, ils ne sont pas considérés comme des émeus mais comme deux crocodiles rampants.\r\n\r\nLa figure moderne de la sombre nébuleuse de la Pipe est clairement visible au-dessus du centre de la galaxie ; la fumée de cette pipe atteint la région colorée de rho Ophiuchius à côté d'Antarès dans le Scorpion, l'étoile rouge-orange juste au-dessus de la Voie lactée. Les Boorong appellent Antarès, Djuit, le perroquet à croupion rouge, tandis que les Kokatha du désert occidental l'appellent Kogolongo, le cacatoès noir à queue rouge.\r\n\r\nEn outre, quelques constellations notables peuvent être observées : le Cygne, l'Aigle, la Lyre, le Scorpion, le Sagittaire, la Croix du Sud et le Centaure. Les étoiles, Alpha et Bêta du Centaure, sont parfois interprétées comme les yeux de la bête dans certaines traditions sud-africaines.",

To its left, the clouds of the Milky Way seem to emerge from the same point of the horizon as the rocky landmass. Above the land, below the Milky Way in the left quarter of the image, is another bright star, Altair, the bright star in Aquila, the Eagle.\r\n\r\nThe scorpion is considered a dangerous animal, so scorpion-men (human-scorpion hybrids) guarded the gate to the Netherworld in ancient Babylonian stories, as reported in the Gilgamesh saga. The Eagle, in contrast, appears in the Babylonian saga of King Etana who was taken to the sky by an Eagle and describes the world that he sees below him with increasing distance. Both heroes, Gilgamesh and Etana, are searching for the “herb of life” but one of them by going down, the other by travelling upwards. Gilgamesh aims to get back his dead friend Enkidu and to become immortal himself, while Etana is seeking the herb to help his wife become pregnant. The scorpion and the eagle are the animals supporting these heroes in their search, that ultimately remained unsuccessful. Gilgamesh finally learned that humans can only become immortal by their good deeds for humanity. The Eagle was also recognised in Greek culture, but it was only in Roman times that it became a messenger of a dead soul, carrying it towards the eternal stars. This was when Ptolemy created a constellation to represent the soul of Antinuous below the classical Eagle. This young friend and consultant of the Roman emperor Hadrian drowned in the Nile only seven years before the completion of the Almagest, and the whole Roman empire observed a state of national mourning.\r\n\r\nThe Milky Way is seen as a “pathway of souls” by many cultures, but in the Babylonian culture, this is not the case. Still, in Greco-Roman philosophy, the bright white parts of it between Antares and Altair, at the intersection of the Milky Way and the Zodiac do have a meaning: Plato, Macrobius and other philosophers refer to it as “the X in the sky”, and the second Celestial Gate was probably considered to be here (the first one being the gate formed by the Hyades and Pleiades).\r\n\r\nThese celestial pathways and gates, depicted above a gigantic bridge in the landscape and a site where the realms of land and ocean meet, make for an incredibly charged photograph. Additionally, the dark clouds in the Milky Way directly above the land form one of the two large dark constellations of the crocodiles, as interpreted by some people in southern Australia.",

Alla sua sinistra, le nubi della Via Lattea sembrano emergere dallo stesso punto dell'orizzonte, come anche la terra rocciosa. Sopra la terra, sotto la Via Lattea nel quarto sinistro dell'immagine, si trova un'altra stella luminosa, Altair, la stella principale dell'Aquila.\r\n\r\nLo scorpione è considerato un animale pericoloso, per cui gli uomini-scorpione (ibridi uomo-scorpione) sorvegliavano la porta dell'Oltretomba nelle antiche storie babilonesi, come riportato nella saga di Gilgamesh. L'aquila, invece, compare nella saga babilonese del re Etana, che viene portato in cielo da un'aquila e descrive il mondo che vede sotto di sé mentre sale sempre più in alto. Entrambi gli eroi, Gilgamesh ed Etana, sono alla ricerca dell'\"erba della vita\", ma l'uno scendendo, l'altro viaggiando verso l'alto. Gilgamesh vuole recuperare l'amico Enkidu morto e diventare lui stesso immortale, mentre Etana cerca l'erba per aiutare la moglie a rimanere incinta. Lo scorpione e l'aquila sono gli animali che sostengono questi eroi nella loro ricerca, che alla fine non ha successo. Gilgamesh alla fine impara che gli uomini possono diventare immortali solo grazie alle loro buone azioni per l'umanità. L'aquila era riconosciuta anche nella cultura greca, ma fu solo in epoca romana che divenne messaggera delle anime morte, trasportandole verso le stelle eterne. Fu allora che Tolomeo creò una costellazione per rappresentare l'anima di Antinoo sotto l'Aquila classica. Questo giovane amico e consulente dell'imperatore romano Adriano annegò nel Nilo solo sette anni prima del completamento dell'Almagesto e l'intero impero romano osservò uno stato di lutto nazionale.\r\n\r\nLa Via Lattea è vista come un \"sentiero delle anime\" da molte culture, ma non nella cultura babilonese. Tuttavia, nella filosofia greco-romana, le parti bianche e luminose tra Antares e Altair, all'intersezione tra la Via Lattea e lo Zodiaco, hanno un significato preciso: Platone, Macrobio e altri filosofi la chiamano \"la X nel cielo\", e probabilmente era considerata la seconda Porta Celeste (la prima era quella formata dalle Iadi e dalle Pleiadi).\r\n\r\nQuesti percorsi e porte celesti, raffigurati sopra un gigantesco ponte nel paesaggio e in un luogo dove i regni della terra e dell'oceano si incontrano, rendono la fotografia incredibilmente carica. Inoltre, le nuvole scure della Via Lattea formano una delle due grandi costellazioni scure dei coccodrilli, secondo l'interpretazione di alcuni abitanti dell'Australia meridionale.",

Beide Helden, Gilgamesch und Etana, sind auf der Suche nach dem \"Kraut des Lebens\", aber der eine auf dem Weg abwärts, der andere aufwärts reist. Gilgamesch will seinen toten Freund Enkidu zurückholen und selbst unsterblich werden, während Etana das Kraut sucht, damit seine Frau schwanger werden kann. Der Skorpion und der Adler sind die Tiere, die die beiden Helden bei ihrer letztlich erfolglosen Suche unterstützen. Gilgamesch hat schließlich gelernt, dass Menschen nur durch gute Taten für die Menschheit unsterblich werden können. Der Adler war auch in der griechischen Kultur bekannt, aber erst in der römischen Zeit wurde er zum Boten einer toten Seele, der sie zu den ewigen Sternen brachte. Zu dieser Zeit schuf Ptolemäus ein Sternbild, um die Seele des Antinoos unter dem klassischen Adler darzustellen. Der junge Freund und Berater des römischen Kaisers Hadrian ertrank im Nil nur sieben Jahre vor der Fertigstellung des Almagest im Nil, woraufhin für das ganze römische Reich Staatstrauer galt.\r\n\r\nDie Milchstraße wird in vielen Kulturen als \"Weg der Seelen\" angesehen, in der babylonischen Kultur war dies aber nicht der Fall. In der griechisch-römischen Philosophie haben die hellen weißen Teile der Milchstraße zwischen Antares und Altair, am Schnittpunkt der Milchstraße und dem Tierkreis dennoch eine Bedeutung: Platon, Macrobius und andere Philosophen bezeichnen ihn als \"das X am Himmel\", und das zweite Himmelstor (das erste ist das Tor, das von den Hyaden und Plejaden gebildet wird).\r\n\r\nDiese himmlischen Pfade und Tore über einer gigantischen Brücke in der Landschaft an einem Ort, wo zudem Land und Wasser aufeinandertreffen, ergeben ein unglaublich spannungsgeladenes Bild. Hinzu kommt, dass die dunklen Wolken in der Milchstraße eine der beiden großen dunklen Himmelsmuster der Krokodile bilden, wie sie von einigen Völkern im Süden Australiens interpretiert werden.",

À sa gauche, les nuages de la Voie lactée semblent émerger du même point de l'horizon que la masse rocheuse. Au-dessus de l'horizon, sous la Voie lactée dans le quart gauche de l'image, se trouve une autre étoile brillante, Altaïr, de l'Aigle.\r\n\r\nLe scorpion étant considéré comme un animal dangereux, les hommes-scorpions (hybrides de l'homme et du scorpion) gardaient la porte de l'Autre Monde dans les récits babyloniennes, comme le rapporte la légende de Gilgamesh. L'aigle, en revanche, apparaît dans la légende babylonienne du roi Etana, qui a été emmené dans le ciel par un aigle et décrit le monde qu'il voit au-dessous de lui avec une distance de plus en plus grande. Les deux héros, Gilgamesh et Etana, sont à la recherche de \"l'herbe de la vie\", mais l'un en descendant, l'autre en montant. Gilgamesh veut retrouver son ami mort Enkidu et devenir lui-même immortel, tandis qu'Etana cherche l'herbe pour aider sa femme à tomber enceinte. Le scorpion et l'aigle sont les animaux qui soutiennent ces héros dans leur quête, finalement infructueuse. Gilgamesh a finalement appris que les humains ne peuvent devenir immortels qu'en accomplissant de bonnes actions pour l'humanité. L'aigle était également connu dans la culture grecque, mais ce n'est qu'à l'époque romaine qu'il est devenu le messager d'une âme morte, l'emportant vers les étoiles éternelles. C'est alors que Ptolémée créa une constellation pour représenter l'âme d'Antinoüs sous l'aigle classique. Ce jeune amant et conseiller de l'empereur romain Hadrien s'est noyé dans le Nil sept ans seulement avant l'achèvement de l'Almageste, et tout l'empire romain a observé un état de deuil national.\r\n\r\nLa Voie lactée est considérée comme un \"chemin des âmes\" par de nombreuses cultures, mais ce n'est pas le cas dans la culture babylonienne. Cependant, dans la philosophie gréco-romaine, les parties blanches et brillantes de la Voie lactée entre Antarès et Altaïr, à l'intersection de la Voie lactée et du Zodiaque, ont une signification : Platon, Macrobe et d'autres philosophes l'appellent \"le X dans le ciel\", et la deuxième porte céleste était probablement considérée comme se trouvant à cet endroit (la première étant la porte formée par les Hyades et les Pléiades).\r\n\r\nCes voies et ces portes célestes, représentées au-dessus d'un pont gigantesque dans le paysage et sur un site où les domaines de la terre et de l'océan se rencontrent, constituent une photographie incroyablement chargée. En outre, les nuages sombres de la Voie lactée situés directement au-dessus de la terre forment l'une des deux grandes constellations sombres des crocodiles, selon l'interprétation de certains habitants du sud de l'Australie.",

Towards the bottom left of the image we can see the Southern Cross and the pointer stars Alpha (the brighter of the two) and Beta Centauri, which help to distinguish it from similar-looking configurations. Some cultures in Africa associate the Southern Cross with a giraffe, while others associate the constellations with a pride of lions or even with the Tree of Life.\r\n\r\nAntares, the brightest star in the constellation Scorpius, is the orange-red star straight up from the middle baobab tree.\r\n\r\nTo the Pokomo people from southwestern Kenya, Africa, the Milky Way is associated with the smoke emanating from a campfire lit by ancient people. The various people in South Africa, in contrast, have different star tales; the Khoikhoi from the region around Cape Town explained the colours of the red and white stars as red and white roots that were roasted on a fire and thrown towards the sky together with the ashes of the fire. The Xhosa from further east consider the Milky Way the raised bristle of a huge angry dog, while the Zulu from near Johannesburg interpret it as a stream of spears of their strongest warriors.\r\n\r\nPolynesian people, who were adept seafarers and navigators, see the constellation Scorpius as a fish hook, and refer to it as the demigod Maui’s Fish Hook. For the Djab Wurrung and the Jardwadjali people, the Southern Cross is part of a Dreamtime Story involving Tchingal, the Bram-bram-bult brothers (the pointer stars), their mother Druk (Delta Crux), and Bunya, the hunter who gets changed into a possum (Gacrux, red star at the top of the Southern Cross).\r\n\r\n\r\nIn this image, the planets Saturn (the bright point above Antares) and Jupiter (the bright point at the bottom-right of the image close to the trunk of the baobab tree) are visible. Indigenous cultures have various stories associated with the planets, for example Kamilaroi and Wailan people associate Saturn with wunygal, a small bird. The Boorong people of Western Victoria associate Jupiter with Ginabongbearp, the chief of the old spirits (Nurrumbunguttias), who takes the totemic form of the sulphur-crested white cockatoo.",

Verso la parte inferiore sinistra dell'immagine possiamo vedere la Croce del Sud e le stelle puntatrici Alfa (la più luminosa delle due) e Beta Centauri, che aiutano a distinguerla da configurazioni simili. Alcune culture africane associano la Croce del Sud a una giraffa, mentre altre associano le costellazioni a un branco di leoni o addirittura all'Albero della Vita.\r\n\r\nAntares, la stella più luminosa della costellazione dello Scorpius, è la stella rosso-arancio che si trova sopra l'albero di baobab al centro.\r\n\r\nPer i Pokomo del Kenya sud-occidentale, in Africa, la Via Lattea è associata al fumo emanato da un falò acceso da antiche popolazioni. I vari popoli del Sudafrica, invece, hanno racconti stellari diversi; i Khoikhoi della regione intorno a Città del Capo spiegano i colori delle stelle rosse e bianche come radici rosse e bianche arrostite sul fuoco e lanciate verso il cielo insieme alle ceneri del fuoco. Gli Xhosa, che vivono più a est, considerano la Via Lattea come le setole sollevate di un enorme cane arrabbiato, mentre gli Zulu, che vivono vicino a Johannesburg, la interpretano come un flusso di lance dei loro guerrieri più forti.\r\n\r\nLe popolazioni polinesiane, abili navigatori e marinai, vedono la costellazione dello Scorpione come un amo da pesca e si riferiscono ad essa come all'amo da pesca del semidio Maui. Per i Djab Wurrung e i Jardwadjali, la Croce del Sud fa parte di una storia del sogno che coinvolge Tchingal, i fratelli Bram-bram-bult (le stelle puntatrici), la loro madre Druk (Delta Crux) e Bunya, il cacciatore che si trasforma in opossum (Gacrux, stella rossa in cima alla Croce del Sud).\r\n\r\n\r\nIn questa immagine sono visibili i pianeti Saturno (il punto luminoso sopra Antares) e Giove (il punto luminoso in basso a destra dell'immagine, vicino al tronco dell'albero di baobab).

Links unten im Bild sind das Kreuz des Südens und die Zeigersterne alpha (der hellere der beiden) und beta Centauri zu sehen, die helfen, es von ähnlich aussehenden Konfigurationen zu unterscheiden. Einige Kulturen in Afrika assoziieren das Kreuz des Südens mit einer Giraffe, während andere das Sternbild mit einem Löwenrudel oder sogar mit dem Baum des Lebens in Verbindung bringen.\r\n\r\nAntares, der hellste Stern im Sternbild Skorpion, ist der orange-rote Stern direkt über dem mittleren Affenbrotbaum.\r\n\r\nFür das Volk der Pokomo aus dem südwestlichen Kenia in Afrika wird die Milchstraße mit dem Rauch eines Lagerfeuers assoziiert, das von alten Menschen entzündet wurde. Die verschiedenen Völker Südafrikas haben dagegen unterschiedliche Sternengeschichten: Die Khoikhoi aus der Region um Kapstadt erklären die Farben der roten und weißen Sterne mit roten und weißen Wurzeln, die auf einem Feuer geröstet und zusammen mit der Asche des Feuers in den Himmel geworfen wurden. Die weiter östlich lebenden Xhosa halten die Milchstraße für die aufgerichteten Nackenhaare eines riesigen wütenden Hundes, während die Zulu aus der Nähe von Johannesburg sie als einen Speer-Angriff ihrer stärksten Krieger interpretieren.\r\n\r\nDie polynesischen Völker, die geschickte Seefahrer und Navigatoren waren, sehen das Sternbild Skorpion als Fischhaken und bezeichnen es als den Fischhaken des Halbgottes Maui. Für die Djab Wurrung und die Jardwadjali ist das Kreuz des Südens Teil einer Traumzeitgeschichte, in der es um Tchingal, die Bram-Bram-Bult-Brüder (die Zeigersterne), ihre Mutter Druk (delta Crucis) und Bunya geht, den Jäger, der sich in ein Opossum verwandelt (Gacrux, der rote Stern an der Spitze des Kreuzes des Südens).\r\n\r\nDieses Bild zeigt auch die Planeten Saturn (der helle Punkt über Antares) und Jupiter (der helle Punkt unten rechts im Bild in der Nähe des Affenbrotbaumstamms).

"caption": "Winner in the 2022 IAU OAE Astrophotography Contest, category Still images of celestial patterns.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThis image was taken in February 2020 in the Coquimbo Region along the northern coast of Chile. It is one of the best places on Earth for astronomical observations, thanks to its clear skies, lack of light pollution and lack of precipitation, as it is close to the Atacama desert, one of the driest places on our planet. It is no coincidence that many of the most modern professional observatories are located here. The picture shows prominent patterns visible in the southern latitudes, containing rich cultural significance for various Indigenous groups of the southern world. In the bottom of the image towards the right, the Southern Cross is prominent. The orange star at the top of the Southern Cross is called Gacrux (gamma crux). The people in Chile celebrate the beginning of winter at the beginning of May when the constellation Crux is high up in the sky; for them it is a symbol of the start of the cold season. For the festival of the Cruz de Mayo (the Great Cross), they put candles next to crosses in their villages when the constellation Crux is high. As in Christianity, the four endpoints (stars) of the cross symbolise the cardinal virtues. For some indigenous Chileans, they represent the fundamental cultural principles: force, reciprocity, wisdom, and spirituality.\r\n\r\nUnlike modern constellations that are arrangements of several stars, Indigenous peoples sometimes associate stories with individual stars. In the case of the Southern Cross for example, the Boorong, Djab Wurrung and Jardwadjali peoples of Australia refer to the star Gacrux as Bunya (the ring-tailed possum). From the Southern Cross to the left of the image are two bright stars, these are called the pointer stars (as they point to the Southern Cross). The Djab Wurrung and Jardwadjali people refer to the pointer stars as the Bram-bram-bult brothers, who hunted and killed the giant Emu Tchingal. Alpha Centauri, which is the brighter and whiter of the two pointer stars, is the closest star to the Sun that we can see with our eyes, located just over four light-years away. To the bottom left of the Southern Cross is a dark nebula, which the Indigenous Australians see as the head of the Emu Tchnigal (the Coalsack Nebula). The pointers are located on the neck of the Emu. The image also shows two other IAU constellations, Centaurus (The Centaur) and Lupus (The Wolf), and HII regions of the Eta Carina Nebula (seen in pink).",

"caption": "Vincitore del concorso di astrofotografia IAU OAE 2022, categoria Immagini fisse di schemi celesti.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nQuesta immagine è stata scattata nel febbraio 2020 nella regione di Coquimbo, lungo la costa settentrionale del Cile. Si tratta di uno dei luoghi migliori sulla Terra per le osservazioni astronomiche, grazie ai suoi cieli limpidi, alla mancanza di inquinamento luminoso e all'assenza di precipitazioni, poiché si trova vicino al deserto di Atacama, uno dei luoghi più aridi del nostro pianeta. Non è un caso che molti dei più moderni osservatori professionali si trovino qui. L'immagine mostra le principali costellazioni visibili alle latitudini meridionali, che assumono un ricco significato culturale per diversi gruppi indigeni del sud del mondo. Nella parte inferiore dell'immagine, verso destra, spicca la Croce del Sud. La stella arancione in cima alla Croce del Sud è chiamata Gacrux (gamma crux). Gli abitanti del Cile celebrano l'inizio dell'inverno all'inizio di maggio, quando la costellazione della Croce del Sud è alta nel cielo; per loro è un simbolo dell'inizio della stagione fredda. Per la festa della Cruz de Mayo (la Grande Croce), mettono delle candele accanto alle croci nei loro villaggi quando la costellazione della Croce del Sud è alta. Come nel cristianesimo, le quattro estremità (stelle) della croce simboleggiano le virtù cardinali. Per alcuni indigeni cileni, rappresentano i principi culturali fondamentali: forza, reciprocità, saggezza e spiritualità.\r\n\r\nA differenza delle costellazioni moderne, che sono composizioni di più stelle, le popolazioni indigene associano talvolta delle storie a singole stelle. Nel caso della Croce del Sud, ad esempio, i popoli australiani Boorong, Djab Wurrung e Jardwadjali si riferiscono alla stella Gacrux come a Bunya (l'opossum dalla coda ad anelli). Dalla Croce del Sud a sinistra dell'immagine ci sono due stelle luminose, chiamate stelle puntatrici (in quanto indicano la Croce del Sud). I popoli Djab Wurrung e Jardwadjali si riferiscono alle stelle puntatrici come ai fratelli Bram-bram-bult, che cacciarono e uccisero il gigante Emu Tchingal. Alpha Centauri, la più luminosa e la più bianca delle due stelle puntamentatrici, è la stella più vicina al Sole che possiamo vedere con i nostri occhi, situata a poco più di quattro anni luce di distanza. In basso a sinistra rispetto alla Croce del Sud si trova una nebulosa scura, che gli indigeni australiani considerano la testa dell'Emu Tchnigal (la nebulosa Sacco di Carbone). Le stelle puntatrici si trovano sul collo dell'Emu. L'immagine mostra anche altre due costellazioni IAU, Centaurus (il Centauro) e Lupus (il Lupo), e le regioni HII della Nebulosa Eta Carina (in rosa).",

Es ist kein Zufall, dass sich hier viele der modernsten professionellen Observatorien befinden. Das Bild zeigt auffällige Muster am Himmel, die von südlichen Breitengraden aus zu sehen sind und die für verschiedene indigene Gruppen der Südhalbkugel der Erde von großer kultureller Bedeutung sind. Im unteren Teil des Bildes rechts ist das Kreuz des Südens (lat. Crux) zu sehen. Der orangefarbene Stern an der Spitze des Kreuzes des Südens wird Gacrux (gamma Crucis) genannt. Die Menschen in Chile feiern den Winteranfang Anfang Mai, wenn das Sternbild Crux hoch am Himmel steht; für sie ist es ein Symbol für den Beginn der kalten Jahreszeit. Für das Fest des Cruz de Mayo (Großes Kreuz) stellen sie in ihren Dörfern Kerzen neben Kreuzen auf, wenn das Sternbild Crux hoch am Himmel steht. Wie im Christentum symbolisieren die vier Endpunkte (Sterne) des Kreuzes hierbei die Kardinaltugenden. Für einige chilenische Ureinwohner stehen sie aber auch für die grundlegenden kulturellen Prinzipien Kraft, Gegenseitigkeit, Weisheit und Spiritualität.\r\n\r\nIm Gegensatz zu modernen Sternbildern, die aus mehreren Sternen zusammengesetzt sind, verbinden indigene Völker manchmal Geschichten mit einzelnen Sternen. Im Fall des Kreuzes des Südens zum Beispiel bezeichnen die Völker der Boorong, Djab Wurrung und Jardwadjali in Australien den Stern Gacrux als Bunya (der Ringelschwanzbeutler). Links vom Kreuz des Südens befinden sich zwei helle Sterne, die als Zeigersterne bezeichnet werden (da sie auf das Kreuz des Südens zeigen). Die Djab Wurrung und Jardwadjali identifizieren die Zeigersterne mit den Bram-Bram-Bult-Brüdern, die den Riesen-Emu Tchingal jagten und töteten. Alpha Centauri, der hellere und weißlichere der beiden Zeigersterne, ist der sonnennächste Stern, den wir mit unseren Augen sehen können, und nur etwas mehr als vier Lichtjahre entfernt. Unten links vom Kreuz des Südens befindet sich ein dunkler Nebel, den die australischen Ureinwohner als den Kopf des Emu Tchnigal (den Kohlensack) betrachten. Die Zeiger befinden sich auf dem Hals des Emu. Das Bild zeigt auch zwei andere IAU-Sternbilder, Centaurus (der Zentaur) und Lupus (der Wolf), sowie HII-Regionen des Eta-Carinae-Nebels (in rosa).",

"caption": "Winner in the 2022 IAU OAE Astrophotography Contest, category Still images of celestial patterns.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThis image was taken from Nagano, Japan, in December 2018, and shows three prominent constellations: Aquila (towards the lower-left of the image), Cygnus (in the upper part of the image) and Lyra (bottom-right). The brightest stars within these constellations (Altair, Deneb and Vega) form the three vertices of the asterism known as the Summer Triangle. The star Altair is the brightest star towards the bottom-left of the image, Deneb is the brightest star towards the top-right of the image, and Vega is the brightest star towards the bottom-right of the image.\r\n\r\nIn Asian cultures the stars Vega and Altair represent a love story between the weaver girl and the herdsman, who are separated by the faint band of the Milky Way, but in July are allowed to cross the heavenly river (the Milky Way) to be together.\r\n\r\nThe Boorong people of Northeast Victoria, Australia, associate the reappearance of Vega — after its yearly disappearance from view — with the time when the Mallee fowls build nests. The Boorong also associate their indigenous constellation Neilloan with the goddess Mallee-hen (Vega), mother of Totyarguil (Altair), the hero who created the Murray River. In Wardaman traditions, the star Vega acts as a gateway to the Milky Way for spirits of the deceased.\r\n\r\nThe star name Altair is abbreviated from the Arabic “Al-Nasr Al-Ta’ir” (meaning “The Flying Eagle”) proving that the constellation of the Eagle (Aquila) is one of the most stable ones in history. Originating from the Babylonian epoch (carrying a king towards the sky), it was taken over by the Greeks, Romans, and Arabs. The star name Deneb comes from the Arabic word “dhanab”, meaning “tail”, and refers to the Greek constellation of The Bird that is interpreted in the Roman tradition as a Swan (Cygnus), and as a Hen in the Arabic world. The third star name, Vega, comes from the Arabic “Al-Nasr Al-Waqi”, meaning “The Swooping Eagle'', because the indigenous (pre-Islamic) Arabic culture had a second eagle in the area of the Greek constellation Lyra. In the Early Modern Age, some Christian astronomers, inspired by the Arabic tradition, depicted this constellation as an eagle or vulture holding a lyre.\r\n\r\nThe image also shows a range of other constellations, including Delphinus, Sagitta, and Vulpecula. According to Greek mythology, Sagitta, The Arrow, carried the god of light and the goddess of fertility. In winter they set in the evening but in spring they rise again in the east, and are present for longer and longer in order to make the land fruitful and agriculture successful.",

Le stelle più luminose di queste costellazioni (Altair, Deneb e Vega) formano i tre vertici dell'asterismo noto come Triangolo estivo. La stella Altair è la più luminosa in basso a sinistra dell'immagine, Deneb è la più luminosa in alto a destra dell'immagine e Vega è la più luminosa in basso a destra dell'immagine.\r\n\r\nNelle culture asiatiche le stelle Vega e Altair rappresentano la storia d'amore tra la tessitrice e il mandriano: vivono separati dalla debole fascia della Via Lattea, ma a luglio possono attraversare il fiume celeste (la Via Lattea) per stare insieme.\r\n\r\nI Boorong del Victoria nord-orientale, in Australia, associano la ricomparsa di Vega - dopo la sua scomparsa annuale dalla vista - al periodo in cui le galline Mallee costruiscono i nidi. I Boorong associano anche la loro costellazione indigena Neilloan alla dea Mallee-hen (Vega), madre di Totyarguil (Altair), l'eroe che creò il fiume Murray. Nelle tradizioni Wardaman, la stella Vega funge da porta d'accesso alla Via Lattea per gli spiriti dei defunti.\r\n\r\nIl nome della stella Altair è abbreviato dall'arabo \"Al-Nasr Al-Ta'ir\" (che significa \"L'aquila volante\"), a dimostrazione del fatto che la costellazione dell'Aquila è una delle più stabili della storia. Originaria dell'epoca babilonese (per cui portava un re verso il cielo), è stata ripresa da Greci, Romani e Arabi. Il nome della stella Deneb deriva dalla parola araba \"dhanab\", che significa \"coda\", e si riferisce alla costellazione greca dell'Uccello, interpretata nella tradizione romana come Cigno (Cygnus) e come Gallina nel mondo arabo. Il nome della terza stella, Vega, deriva dall'arabo \"Al-Nasr Al-Waqi\", che significa \"L'aquila in picchiata\", perché la cultura araba indigena (pre-islamica) aveva una seconda aquila nell'area della costellazione greca della Lira. Nella prima età moderna, alcuni astronomi cristiani, ispirati dalla tradizione araba, raffigurarono questa costellazione come un'aquila o un avvoltoio che porta una lira.\r\n\r\nL'immagine mostra anche una serie di altre costellazioni, tra cui Delphinus, Sagitta e Vulpecula. Secondo la mitologia greca, Sagitta, la Freccia, portava con sé il dio della luce e la dea della fertilità. In inverno tramonta la sera, ma in primavera si alza di nuovo a est ed è presente sempre più a lungo per rendere la terra fruttuosa e per favorire le coltivazioni.",

Der Stern Altair ist der hellste Stern unten links im Bild, Deneb ist der hellste Stern oben rechts im Bild und Vega ist der hellste Stern unten rechts im Bild.\r\n\r\nIn asiatischen Kulturen stellen die Sterne Vega und Altair eine Liebesgeschichte zwischen dem Webermädchen und dem Hirten dar, die durch das schwache Band der Milchstraße getrennt sind, aber im Juli den himmlischen Fluss (die Milchstraße) überqueren dürfen, um zusammen zu sein.\r\n\r\nDas Volk der Boorong in Nordost-Victoria, Australien, verbindet das Wiedererscheinen der Vega - nach ihrem jährlichen Verschwinden aus dem Blickfeld - mit der Zeit, in der die Mallee-Hühner ihre Nester bauen. Die Boorong assoziieren ihr indigenes Sternbild Neilloan auch mit der Göttin Mallee-hen (Vega), der Mutter von Totyarguil (Altair), dem Helden, der den Murray River schuf. In den Traditionen der Wardamanen dient der Stern Vega den Geistern der Verstorbenen als Tor zur Milchstraße.\r\n\r\nDer Sternname Altair ist eine Abkürzung des arabischen \"Al-Nasr Al-Ta'ir\" (was \"der fliegende Adler\" bedeutet), was zeigt, dass das Sternbild des Adlers eines der langlebigsten in der Geschichte ist. Es stammt aus der Zeit der Babylonier (wo sie einen König in den Himmel trugen) und wurde von den Griechen, Römern und Arabern übernommen. Der Sternname Deneb stammt vom arabischen Wort \"dhanab\", was \"Schwanz\" bedeutet, und bezieht sich auf das griechische Sternbild des Vogels, das in der römischen Tradition als Schwan und in der arabischen Welt als Henne interpretiert wird. Der dritte Sternname, Vega, stammt aus dem Arabischen \"Al-Nasr Al-Waqi\", was \"der stürzende Adler\" bedeutet, da die vorislamische arabische Kultur einen zweiten Adler in der Gegend des griechischen Sternbilds Leier hatte. In der Frühen Neuzeit stellten einige christliche Astronomen, inspiriert von der arabischen Tradition, dieses Sternbild als einen Adler oder Geier dar, der eine Leier hält.\r\n\r\nDas Bild zeigt auch eine Reihe anderer Sternbilder, darunter den Delfin (lat. Delphinus), den Pfeil (lat. Sagitta) und das Füchslein (lat. Vulpecula). Nach der griechischen Mythologie trug der Pfeil den Gott des Lichts und die Göttin der Fruchtbarkeit. Im Winter gehen sie abends unter, aber im Frühling gehen sie im Osten wieder auf und sind im Laufe der Zeit immer länger sichtbar, was das Land fruchtbar und die Landwirtschaft erfolgreich machen soll.",

It starts with an impressive opening of clouds seeming to emerge behind the famous statues on Easter Island and moving directly forwards towards the observer. It evokes the impression of the mighty deities sending clouds to cover the night sky.\r\n\r\nIn the next couple of scenes, we see landscapes with an impressive Milky Way turning overhead, but this quiet scene is continuously interrupted by hasty satellites or — in one of the scenes — even by car lights on the ground. It illustrates both the majesty of the sky and the disturbance of nature by human influence.\r\n\r\nThen there is another scene of clouds passing by, but now from left to right. The terrestrial clouds pass below the clouds of stars that form the Milky Way. The last scene shows an undisturbed still pattern of stars that looks like a flight over a zoomed-in photograph, and shows how we are not used to experiencing nature’s stillness and silence.",

Inizia con un'impressionante apertura di nuvole che sembrano emergere dietro le famose statue dell'Isola di Pasqua e muoversi direttamente in avanti verso l'osservatore. Evoca l'impressione che le potenti divinità mandino le nuvole a coprire il cielo notturno.\r\n\r\nNelle due scene successive, vediamo paesaggi con una suggestiva Via Lattea che gira sopra le nostre teste, ma questa scena tranquilla è continuamente interrotta da satelliti frettolosi o - in una delle scene - persino dalle luci delle auto a terra. Il film illustra sia la maestosità del cielo che la perturbazione della natura per influenza umana.\r\n\r\nPoi c'è un'altra scena con un passaggio di nuvole da sinistra a destra. Le nuvole terrestri passano sotto le nuvole di stelle che formano la Via Lattea.

"caption": "Honourable mention in the 2022 IAU OAE Astrophotography Contest, category Still images of celestial patterns.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nTaken in February 2021, this image is a composite of an astronomy picture in the background and Mount Etna, the famous volcano in Sicily, Italy, in the foreground. Prominently, we see the red hydrogen clouds in space in the area of Orion. Barnard’s Loop is the gigantic bow with the Great Orion Nebula and the Horsehead Nebula in its centre. The deeper-coloured Horse Head is below the southernmost stars in Orion’s Belt, which is the line of white stars above the red nebula. Clearly visible is also the division between the Small and the Great Orion Nebula, the circular and the trapezium-shaped structure in light pink within which one of the nearest star-forming regions is located. The nebula is only a bit more than a thousand light-years away.\r\n\r\nIn the middle-left, close to the edge of the image, the small red structure is the Monkey Head Nebula still in the constellation Orion. It hosts a young star cluster and the deep red colour of this hydrogen cloud indicates its potential to build new stars in the future if the material is compressed again. All these reddish objects are strongly processed in this image, as they are not visible to the unaided eye.\r\n\r\nStill, this image provides an interesting feature; the red supergiant star Betelgeuse lies in the middle of the image and it seems to be directly above the active volcano Mount Etna. At the foot of this volcano is an ancient settlement, the city of Catania. We consider both Betelgeuse and Mount Etna somehow dangerous — but which of them will erupt first?\r\n\r\n\r\nOk, we know that Etna occasionally erupts. Normally it exhibits only small eruptions, but the bigger ones happen every few centuries. We also know that Betelgeuse as a giant star will become a supernova in the future. Astronomers call the timescale for the potential supernova short, implying that it will be only 10 000 or maybe 100 000 years until this star explodes. This is “soon” for astronomers, meaning that on Earth, two to four precession cycles will pass by (with the consequence that the Sahara will turn green and dry again two to four times), continental drift will take Africa further north and cause the Alps to grow in height, the Niagara falls in America will wash the rock completely away and only after all this (and much more) happening on Earth will Betelgeuse explode as a supernova. Mount Etna is much more dangerous for the people in Sicily, and Catania in particular, because it will erupt sooner.",

Si vedono in evidenza le nubi rosse di idrogeno nello spazio nella zona di Orione. L'ansa di Barnard è il gigantesco arco con la Grande Nebulosa di Orione e la Nebulosa Testa di Cavallo al centro. La Testa di Cavallo, di colore più intenso, si trova sotto le stelle più meridionali della Cintura di Orione, che è la linea di stelle bianche sopra la nebulosa rossa. È chiaramente visibile anche la divisione tra la Piccola e la Grande Nebulosa di Orione, la struttura circolare e quella a forma di trapezio di colore rosa chiaro, all'interno della quale si trova una delle regioni di formazione stellare più vicine. La nebulosa dista solo poco più di mille anni luce.\r\n\r\nAl centro-sinistra, vicino al bordo dell'immagine, la piccola struttura rossa è la Nebulosa Rosetta nella costellazione di Monoceros. Ospita un giovane ammasso stellare e il colore rosso intenso di questa nube di idrogeno indica il suo potenziale di costruire nuove stelle in futuro, se il materiale viene nuovamente compresso. Tutti questi oggetti rossastri sono fortemente elaborati in questa immagine, poiché non sono visibili a occhio nudo.\r\n\r\nTuttavia, questa immagine offre una caratteristica interessante: la stella supergigante rossa Betelgeuse si trova al centro dell'immagine e sembra essere direttamente sopra il vulcano attivo Etna. Ai piedi di questo vulcano si trova un antico insediamento, la città di Catania. Sia Betelgeuse che l'Etna sono considerate pericolosi, ma quale dei due erutterà per primo?\r\n\r\n\r\nOk, sappiamo che l'Etna erutta occasionalmente. Di solito presenta solo piccole eruzioni, ma quelle più grandi avvengono ogni pochi secoli. Sappiamo anche che Betelgeuse, in quanto stella gigante, diventerà una supernova in futuro. Gli astronomi definiscono i tempi per la potenziale supernova brevi, sottintendendo che ci vorranno solo 10 000 o forse 100 000 anni prima che questa stella esploda. Per gli astronomi questo è \"presto\", il che significa che sulla Terra passeranno da due a quattro cicli di precessione (con la conseguenza che il Sahara tornerà verde e secco per due o quattro volte), la deriva dei continenti porterà l'Africa più a nord e farà crescere le Alpi in altezza, le cascate del Niagara in America eroderanno completamente la roccia e solo dopo che tutto questo (e molto altro) sarà accaduto sulla Terra, Betelgeuse esploderà come supernova. L'Etna è molto più pericoloso per gli abitanti della Sicilia, e di Catania in particolare, perché erutterà prima.",

Die roten Wasserstoffwolken in der Himmelsregion des Orion sind dabei besonders auffällig dargestellt. Der riesengroße Bogen mit dem großen Orionnebel und dem Pferdekopfnebel in seinem Zentrum heißt Barnard's Loop. Der farbintensive rote Pferdekopfnebel befindet sich unterhalb von drei auf einer geraden Linie angeordneten weißlichen Sternen, dem Gürtel des Orion. Deutlich sichtbar ist auch die Trennung zwischen dem kleinen und dem großen Orionnebel, den rundlichen und der trapezförmigen Strukturen in Hellrosa, in der sich eine der nächstgelegenen Sternentstehungsregionen befindet. Der Nebel ist nur etwas mehr als tausend Lichtjahre von uns entfernt.\r\n\r\nDie kleine helle, rote Struktur links in der Mitte näher am Bildrand ist der Affenkopfnebel, der sich ebenfalls im Sternbild Orion befindet. Er beherbergt einen jungen Sternhaufen, und die tiefrote Farbe dieser Wasserstoffwolke deutet auf ihr Potential hin, in Zukunft neue Sterne zu bilden, wenn das Material wieder verdichtet wird. Alle rötlichen Objekte sind in diesem Bild stark bearbeitet, da sie mit dem bloßen Auge nicht sichtbar sind.\r\n\r\nAußerdem bietet dieses Bild eine interessante Besonderheit: Der rote Überriese Beteigeuze in der Mitte des Bildes scheint sich direkt über dem aktiven Vulkan Ätna zu befinden. Am Fuße dieses Vulkans befindet sich eine antike Siedlung, die Stadt Catania. Wir halten sowohl Beteigeuze als auch den Ätna irgendwie für gefährlich - aber welcher von beiden wird zuerst ausbrechen?\r\n\r\nTatsächlich wissen wir, dass der Ätna gelegentlich ausbricht. Normalerweise zeigt er nur kleine Ausbrüche, aber alle paar Jahrhunderte finden auch größere statt. Wir wissen auch, dass Beteigeuze als Riesenstern zu einer Supernova werden wird. Astronom*innen gehen davon aus, dass es nicht mehr lange dauert bis zur Supernovaexplosion, was allerdings bedeutet, dass noch 10.000 oder vielleicht 100.000 Jahre vergehen werden, bis der Stern explodiert. Für die Astronom*innen ist das \"bald\", während auf der Erde zwei bis vier Präzessionszyklen vergehen werden (mit der Folge, dass die Sahara zwei- bis viermal wieder grün und wieder austrocknen wird), die Kontinentaldrift Afrika weiter nach Norden bringt und die Alpen in die Höhe wachsen lässt, die Niagarafälle in Amerika das darunter liegende Gestein komplett wegspülen und erst wenn all dies (und noch viel mehr) auf der Erde passiert ist, wird Beteigeuze als Supernova explodieren. Der Ätna hingegen ist für die Menschen auf Sizilien, insbesondere in Catania, viel gefährlicher, weil er früher ausbrechen wird.",

This asterism was seen as a Wagon by the Babylonians, which probably led to the alternative interpretation of the Chariot in the didactic poem of the Greek poet Aratus. The normal Greek interpretation is the constellation of the Great She-Bear, which also includes many fainter stars in a much broader area of the sky.\r\n\r\nIn ancient Egypt, these seven stars form the figure of the Bull’s Foreleg or the Bull’s Thigh. It is considered a part of the leg of the god Seth, who was considered the evil one of two brothers; the god Osiris (who is sometimes considered the first king of Egypt) was murdered by his brother Seth. Their loving sister put together the scattered pieces of the corpse and reanimated him. In order to prevent Seth from further evil deeds, this leg was attached to a dowel in the sky.\r\n\r\nThese seven bright stars were considered The Northern Dipper, containing the asterism of the Judges by the nobility in Ancient China. In French and in Dutch, it is called a Saucepan, in German a Chariot and in British English a Plough. The commonly known term “Big Dipper” is American English. They are considered the male figure who is the father of all stars and humans in the North American Navajo saga, where he is said to be the husband of a mother goddess seen in Cassiopeia. Similarly, it is designated the Man’s Cart in Norse mythology with the Woman’s Cart in Ursa Minor. In some other northern cultures, the group is interpreted as an Elk, for instance for the Inuits and Siberians, while the Sami see the Bow and Arrow of Favdna here. In contrast, not all cultures in the southern hemisphere named it because it is always either close to the horizon or invisible. For instance, the Brazilian Tucano people called it the Large Anus of the Snake and in Samoa it forms part of the Heirloom Warclub.\r\n\r\nThe Hawaiian people also used the asterism for navigation and called it The Seven, while the Macedonian tradition interpreted it as Seven Thieves. In Italian star lore, it is either called The Seven Oxen (Rome) or The Seven Brothers (Sardinia). Similarly, the Mongolian traditions speak of Seven Buddahs while the Indians call it the Seven Sages.",

Questo asterismo era visto come un Carro dai Babilonesi, il che probabilmente ha portato all'interpretazione alternativa del Carro nel poema didattico del poeta greco Arato. La normale interpretazione greca è la costellazione della Grande Orsa, che comprende anche molte stelle più deboli in un'area molto più ampia del cielo.\r\n\r\nNell'antico Egitto, queste sette stelle formano la figura della Zampa o della Coscia del Toro. È considerata una parte della gamba del dio Seth, che era considerato il cattivo di due fratelli; il dio Osiride (che a volte è considerato il primo re d'Egitto) fu ucciso dal fratello Seth. La loro amorevole sorella mise insieme i pezzi sparsi del cadavere e lo rianimò. Per impedire a Seth di compiere ulteriori azioni malvagie, questa gamba fu attaccata a un tassello nel cielo.\r\n\r\nQueste sette stelle luminose erano considerate l'Orsa Maggiore, contenente l'asterismo dei Giudici dalla nobiltà dell'Antica Cina. In francese e in olandese è chiamata pentola, in tedesco carro e in inglese britannico aratro. Il termine comunemente noto \"Big Dipper\" è dell'inglese americano. È considerato la figura maschile padre di tutte le stelle e degli esseri umani nella saga nordamericana dei Navajo, dove si dice che sia il marito di una dea madre vista in Cassiopea. Allo stesso modo, nella mitologia nordica viene designato il Carro dell'Uomo con il Carro della Donna nell'Orsa Minore. In alcune altre culture settentrionali, il gruppo è interpretato come un alce, ad esempio per gli Inuit e i Siberiani, mentre i Sami vi vedono l'arco e la freccia di Favdna. Al contrario, non tutte le culture dell'emisfero meridionale lo nominano perché è sempre vicino all'orizzonte o invisibile. Per esempio, i Tucano brasiliani lo chiamavano il Grande Ano del Serpente e a Samoa fa parte dei cimeli di famiglia - \"Heirloom Warclub\".\r\n\r\nAnche le popolazioni hawaiane utilizzavano l'asterismo per la navigazione e lo chiamavano I Sette, mentre la tradizione macedone lo interpretava come Sette Ladri. Nella tradizione stellare italiana è chiamato I Sette Buoi (Roma) o I Sette Fratelli (Sardegna). Allo stesso modo, le tradizioni mongole parlano di Sette Budda, mentre gli indiani lo chiamano Sette Saggi.",

Ursa Major). Dieser Asterismus wurde von den Babyloniern als Wagen gesehen, was wahrscheinlich zu der alternativen Interpretation des Streitwagens im Lehrgedicht des griechischen Dichters Aratus führte. Die übliche griechische Deutung ist das Sternbild der Großen Bärin, zu dem auch viele schwächere Sterne in einem viel größeren Bereich des Himmels gehören.\r\n\r\nIm alten Ägypten bilden diese sieben Sterne die Figur des Stiervorderbeins oder des Stierschenkels. Sie gilt als Teil des Beins des Gottes Seth, der als der böse von zwei Brüdern galt: Der Gott Osiris (der manchmal als erster König Ägyptens angesehen wird) wurde von seinem Bruder Seth ermordet. Ihre liebende Schwester setzte die verstreuten Teile seines Leichnams zusammen und belebte ihn wieder. Um Seth von weiteren bösen Taten abzuhalten, wurde dieses Bein an einem Dübel am Himmel befestigt.\r\n\r\nDiese sieben hellen Sterne wurden vom Adel im alten China als Nördliche Schöpfkelle betrachtet, der die Sternbilder der Richter enthält. Im Französischen und im Niederländischen wird er als Kochtopf, im Deutschen als Wagen und im britischen Englisch als Pflug bezeichnet. Weltweit verbreitet ist der Begriff \"Big Dipper\" (Große Schöpfkelle) aus dem amerikanischen Englisch. In der nordamerikanischen Navajo-Saga gelten diese Sterne als die männliche Figur, die der Vater aller Sterne und Menschen ist, da er der Ehemann einer Muttergöttin sein soll, die sich in der Kassiopeia wiederfindet. In ähnlicher Weise wird er in der nordischen Mythologie als der Wagen des Mannes bezeichnet, während der Wagen der Frau in Form der Kleinen Bärin (lat. Ursa Minor) zu sehen ist. In einigen anderen nördlichen Kulturen wird die Gruppe als Elch interpretiert, beispielsweise bei den Inuit und Sibirern, während die Sami hier den Bogen und den Pfeil von Favdna sehen. Im Gegensatz dazu haben nicht alle Kulturen der Südhalbkugel ihm einen Namen gegeben, weil er dort immer entweder nahe am Horizont oder unsichtbar ist. Das brasilianische Volk der Tucano beispielsweise nannte ihn den Großen Anus der Schlange, und in Samoa ist er Teil der Heiligen Keule.\r\n\r\nDie Hawaiianischen Ureinwohner nutzten diesen Asterismus auch zur Navigation und nannten ihn Die Sieben, während die mazedonische Tradition ihn als Sieben Diebe interpretierte. In der italienischen Sternenkunde wird er entweder Die sieben Ochsen (Rom) oder Die sieben Brüder (Sardinien) genannt. In ähnlicher Weise sprechen die mongolischen Traditionen von den Sieben Buddhas, während er in Indien die Sieben Weisen genannt wird.",

"caption": "Mention honorable au concours d'astrophotographie 2022 de l'UAI OAE, catégorie Images fixes de motifs célestes.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nCette photographie, prise à Udupi, en Inde, en mai 2021, montre les sept étoiles les plus brillantes de la constellation de la Grande Ourse. Cet astérisme était considéré comme un chariot par les Babyloniens, ce qui a probablement conduit à l'interprétation alternative du Chariot dans le poème didactique du poète grec Aratus. L'interprétation grecque normale est la constellation de la Grande Ourse, qui comprend également de nombreuses étoiles moins lumineuses dans une zone beaucoup plus large du ciel.\r\n\r\nDans l'Égypte ancienne, ces sept étoiles forment la patte avant ou la cuisse du taureau. Elles sont considérées comme une partie de la jambe du dieu Seth, qui était considéré comme le mauvais des deux frères ; le dieu Osiris (qui est parfois considéré comme le premier roi d'Égypte) a été assassiné par son frère Seth. Leur sœur aimante a rassemblé les morceaux éparpillés du cadavre et l'a réanimé. Afin d'empêcher Seth de commettre d'autres méfaits, cette jambe fut attachée à une cheville dans le ciel.\r\n\r\nCes sept étoiles brillantes étaient considérées comme la Grande Ourse du Nord, contenant l'astérisme des Juges par la noblesse de la Chine ancienne. En français et en néerlandais, elle est aussi appelée \"casserole\", en allemand \"char\" et en anglais \"chariot\". Le terme communément connu de \"Grande Ourse\" vient de l'anglais américain. Elle est considérée comme la figure masculine qui est le père de toutes les étoiles et de tous les humains dans la saga navajo nord-américaine, où l'on dit qu'elle est l'époux d'une déesse mère vue dans Cassiopée. De même, il est désigné comme le chariot de l'homme dans la mythologie nordique et le chariot de la femme dans la Petite Ourse. Dans d'autres cultures nordiques, le groupe est interprété comme un élan, par exemple chez les Inuits et les Sibériens, tandis que les Samis y voient l'arc et la flèche de Favdna. En revanche, toutes les cultures de l'hémisphère sud ne le nomment pas, car il est toujours soit proche de l'horizon, soit invisible. Par exemple, les Tucano brésiliens l'appellent le grand anus du serpent et, à Samoa, il fait partie du Heirloom Warclub.\r\n\r\nLes Hawaïens utilisaient également l'astérisme pour la navigation et l'appelaient Les Sept, tandis que la tradition macédonienne l'interprétait comme les Sept Voleurs. Dans la tradition italienne, l'astérisme est appelé \"Les sept bœufs\" (Rome) ou \"Les sept frères\" (Sardaigne). De même, les traditions mongoles parlent de sept bouddhas, tandis que les Indiens l'appellent les sept sages.",

In the bottom of the image the bright stars Rigil Kentaurus and Hadar (also known as Alpha and Beta Centauri) are visible, both in the constellation Centaurus. Just above, we can also see the small constellation Crux, visible from the northern tropical circles southwards. It is important for navigation purposes because its longer axis indicates the direction of the celestial south pole. The bright whitish star in the top of the image and to the right of the Galaxy is Canopus, one of the brightest stars in the night sky, located in the constellation Carina. Canopus is the second brightest star in the sky, while Rigil Kentaurus is the third brightest.\r\n\r\nIn some of the next frames, Orion, the great hunter, appears clearly with its bright stars and its characteristic asterism, the belt, composed of three aligned bright stars. Since this video was taken from the southern hemisphere, the Greek hero from the northern hemisphere seems to be performing a headstand.\r\n\r\nWe can also see the planets Jupiter and Saturn in a close conjunction, even finding themselves in the significant beam of Zodiacal light setting down below the horizon. There are also a few meteors blinking in some of the frames, one of them with a long-lasting and developing trail. The very bright object rising from behind the volcanoes of the Andes, creating spectacular shadows and crepuscular rays, is the Moon. In the last frame we see the Moon next to Saturn and Jupiter.",

Nella parte inferiore dell'immagine sono visibili le stelle luminose Rigil Kentaurus e Hadar (note anche come Alfa e Beta Centauri), entrambe nella costellazione del Centauro. Poco sopra, si nota anche la piccola costellazione della Crux, visibile dai paralleli dei tropici settentrionali verso sud. È importante per la navigazione perché il suo asse maggiore indica la direzione del polo sud celeste. La luminosa stella biancastra nella parte superiore dell'immagine e a destra della Galassia è Canopo, una delle stelle più luminose del cielo notturno, situata nella costellazione di Carina. Canopo è la seconda stella più luminosa del cielo, mentre Rigil Kentaurus è la terza.\r\n\r\nIn alcuni dei fotogrammi successivi, Orione, il grande cacciatore, appare chiaramente con le sue stelle luminose e il suo caratteristico asterismo, la cintura, composta da tre stelle luminose allineate. Poiché questo video è stato ripreso dall'emisfero meridionale, l'eroe greco dell'emisfero settentrionale sembra eseguire una verticale.\r\n\r\nPossiamo anche vedere i pianeti Giove e Saturno in stretta congiunzione, nel significativo fascio di luce zodiacale che scende sotto l'orizzonte. In alcuni fotogrammi lampeggiano anche alcune meteore, una delle quali con una scia che si sviluppa a lungo. L'oggetto molto luminoso che emerge da dietro i vulcani delle Ande, creando ombre spettacolari e raggi crepuscolari, è la Luna. Nell'ultimo fotogramma vediamo la Luna accanto a Saturno e Giove.",

His shipmates called the two nebulae after him, and it was only in the 20th century that astronomy research discovered that they are in fact dwarf galaxies accompanying our own.\r\n\r\nIn the 18th century, the French mathematician J-N. Lacaille, who lived in South Africa for some years in order to draw maps of the sky and the land, invented some new constellations. He measured the positions of some faint stars and listed them in his star catalogue, but did not try to overlay beautiful drawings of real-world objects on the star patterns, so he could name them however he wanted. He was based in the trade station that is now the city of Cape Town and, from this bay, Table Mountain is visible. Lacaille learned from the navigators that they used the clouds around this mountain to predict whether or not the wind would blow in the correct direction and allow for sailing. Normally, there is a huge white cloud at the top of Table Mountain, so Lacaille considered the larger one of the two dwarf galaxies not a “Magellanic Cloud”, but the cloud at Table Mountain. Consequently, he invented the constellation “Mensa”, Table Mountain, in the small area of faint stars directly attached to this dwarf galaxy.",

I suoi compagni chiamarono le due nebulose con il suo nome e solo nel XX secolo la ricerca astronomica ha scoperto che si tratta in realtà di galassie nane che accompagnano la nostra.\r\n\r\nNel XVIII secolo, il matematico francese J-N. Lacaille, che visse per alcuni anni in Sudafrica per disegnare mappe del cielo e del territorio, inventò alcune nuove costellazioni. Misurò la posizione di alcune stelle deboli e le elencò nel suo catalogo stellare, ma non cercò di sovrapporre ai modelli stellari dei bei disegni di oggetti reali, per cui poté chiamarle come voleva. La sua base era la stazione commerciale che oggi è Città del Capo e, da questa baia, è visibile la Table Mountain. Lacaille apprese dai navigatori che usavano le nuvole intorno a questa montagna per prevedere se il vento avrebbe soffiato nella direzione giusta e permesso di veleggiare. Normalmente, in cima alla Table Mountain c'è un'enorme nuvola bianca, quindi Lacaille considerò la più grande delle due galassie nane non una \"Nube di Magellano\", ma la nube della Table Mountain. Di conseguenza, inventò la costellazione \"Mensa\", Table Mountain, nella piccola area di stelle deboli direttamente collegata a questa galassia nana.",

Jahrhunderts die ersten Karten des südlichen Teils von Südamerika anfertigte, seine Expeditionsreise aber nicht überlebte. Seine Schiffskameraden nannten die beiden Nebel nach ihm, und erst im 20. Jahrhundert entdeckte die astronomische Forschung, dass es sich in Wirklichkeit um Zwerggalaxien handelt, die unsere eigene Galaxis begleiten.\r\n\r\nIm 18. Jahrhundert führte der französische Mathematiker J-N. Lacaille, der einige Jahre in Südafrika lebte, um Karten des Himmels und des Landes zu zeichnen, mehrere neue Sternbilder ein. Er maß die Positionen einiger schwacher Sterne und trug sie in seinen Sternkatalog ein, versuchte aber nicht, die Sternbilder mit schönen Zeichnungen von Objekten aus der realen Welt zu überlagern, so dass er sie benennen konnte, wie er wollte. Er lebte in einer Handelsstation, aus der später die heutige Stadt Kapstadt geworden ist, und von dieser Bucht aus ist der Tafelberg zu sehen. Lacaille erfuhr von den Seefahrern, dass sie die Wolken um diesen Berg herum nutzten, um vorherzusagen, ob der Wind aus der richtigen Richtung wehen und es möglich sein würde, in See zu stechen. Normalerweise befindet sich an der Spitze des Tafelbergs eine riesige weiße Wolke, so dass Lacaille die größere der beiden Zwerggalaxien nicht als \"Magellansche Wolke\" betrachtete, sondern als Wolke am Tafelberg. Deshalb erdachte er das Sternbild \"Mensa\", den Tafelberg, in dem kleinen Bereich schwacher Sterne, der direkt an diese Zwerggalaxie angrenzt.",

"caption": "Third place in the 2022 IAU OAE Astrophotography Contest, category Time lapses of celestial patterns.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThis video tries to cover a huge variety of phenomena in the night sky from different locations — Iceland and China — and is designed like a theatre play, starring mother nature herself.\r\n\r\nIt starts with a blue twilight sky that dims and unveils the starry night sky on the stage with terrestrial clouds on a beautiful landscape. The impressive parts of the southern Milky Way between Scorpius and Crux, with the pointer stars Alpha and Beta Centaurus, are shown passing by majestically. The terrestrial clouds blur the stars and allow us to recognise their colours even more clearly.\r\n\r\nThe first act presents the starry sky in human culture. One scene shows the Pleiades rising over the top of a hill, while a human moves hastily with a flashlight below. At the very moment that the Pleiades rises behind the hill, the beam of the flashlight hits the camera. There is some humour in this remarkable scene referencing the human relationship to the rise of the Pleiades in cultural history.\r\n\r\nThe next scene shows The Big Dipper, Ursa Major, as a typical northern constellation, with an arch of aurora below it. The aurora evolves and moves but does not change much fundamentally. In northern human cultures, aurorae were often interpreted as the ghosts of ancestors, but this play does not spend any time on human beliefs, instead moving the view southwards in the subsequent scenes. First we see some stars rising shortly before sunrise. The lightcone of Zodiacal light appears in Gemini/Taurus and the horizon gets brighter. In the next scene, at about 1 minute and 13 seconds, we see Orion setting over water, so that the water surface mirrors the celestial scene. Some clouds crossing the image prove that the videos were really taken on our beautiful planet, and, since Orion’s shoulder and foot are seen to set almost simultaneously, this sequence must have been captured almost at the equator. In this area, the bright stars of Orion look like a huge butterfly, with Orion’s Belt forming the body, and the quadrilateral of four bright stars interpreted as the wings.\r\n\r\nAs in a real theatre, we now see a curtain before the next act of the heavenly play, an aurora curtain. The next act presents several bright stars in original scenes: the Chinese asterisms of The Tail (of the Azure Dragon), the Winnowing Basket and the Southern Dipper, which are seen in the modern constellations Scorpius and Sagittarius. The striking shape of Corona Borealis that has been recognised as an asterism in many cultures all over the globe, is also shown, as are some planets, the stars Vega and Deneb with adjacent areas, Altair, the Milky Way, and the characteristic W shape of Cassiopeia that has also been an asterism for many cultures on Earth.\r\n\r\nThe outro presents two more scenes with a smooth and silent night sky.",

"caption": "Terzo posto al concorso di astrofotografia IAU OAE 2022, categoria Time lapses of celestial patterns.\r\n\r\nQuesto video copre un'enorme varietà di fenomeni del cielo notturno da diverse località - Islanda e Cina - ed è concepito come una rappresentazione teatrale, con protagonista Madre Natura stessa.\r\n\r\nInizia con un cielo blu crepuscolare che si oscura e svela sul palcoscenico la notte stellata con qualche nuvola su un bellissimo paesaggio. Le impressionanti parti della Via Lattea meridionale tra Scorpius e Crux, con le stelle Alpha e Beta Centaurus, si vedono passare maestosamente. Le nuvole offuscano le stelle e ci permettono di riconoscere i loro colori ancora più chiaramente.\r\n\r\nIl primo atto presenta il cielo stellato nella cultura umana. Una scena mostra le Pleiadi che sorgono sulla cima di una collina, mentre un uomo si muove con una torcia elettrica in basso. Nel momento stesso in cui le Pleiadi sorgono dietro la collina, il raggio della torcia colpisce la telecamera. In questa straordinaria scena c'è un certo umorismo che fa riferimento al rapporto dell'uomo con il sorgere delle Pleiadi nella storia culturale.\r\n\r\nLa scena successiva mostra il Grande Carro, l'Orsa Maggiore, come una tipica costellazione boreale, con un arco di aurora sotto di essa. L'aurora si evolve e si muove, ma non cambia in modo sostanziale. Nelle culture umane settentrionali, le aurore erano spesso interpretate come i fantasmi degli antenati, ma questo spettacolo non dedica tempo alle credenze umane, spostando invece lo sguardo verso sud nelle scene successive. Per prima cosa vediamo sorgere alcune stelle poco prima dell'alba. Il cono di luce zodiacale appare nei Gemelli/Toro e l'orizzonte diventa più luminoso. Nella scena successiva, a circa 1 minuto e 13 secondi, vediamo Orione tramontare sull'acqua, che fa da specchio alla scena celeste. Alcune nuvole che attraversano l'immagine dimostrano che i video sono stati girati davvero sul nostro bel pianeta e, dal momento che la spalla e il piede di Orione si vedono tramontare quasi contemporaneamente, questa sequenza deve essere stata catturata quasi all'equatore. In quest'area, le stelle luminose di Orione sembrano un'enorme farfalla, con la Cintura di Orione a formare il corpo e il quadrilatero di quattro stelle luminose interpretato come le ali.\r\n\r\nCome in un vero teatro, un sipario di aurora introduce il prossimo atto. Ecco quindi diverse stelle luminose in scene originali: gli asterismi cinesi della Coda (del Drago Azzurro), del Cestello della Mietitura e del Southern Dipper, che si vedono nelle moderne costellazioni dello Scorpione e del Sagittario. Ma anche la suggestiva forma della Corona Boreale, riconosciuta come asterismo da molte culture in tutto il mondo, alcuni pianeti, le stelle Vega e Deneb con le aree adiacenti, Altair, la Via Lattea e la caratteristica forma a W di Cassiopea, anch'essa asterismo per molte culture sulla Terra.\r\n\r\nInfine nella conclusione, altre due scene con un silenzioso cielo notturno",

"caption": "Dritter Platz beim IAU OAE Astrofoto-Wettbewerb 2022, Kategorie Zeitraffer von Himmelsmustern.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nDieses Video versucht, eine Vielzahl von Phänomenen des Nachthimmels an verschiedenen Orten - Island und China - zu zeigen, und ist wie ein Theaterstück gestaltet, in dem Mutter Natur selbst die Hauptrolle spielt.\r\n\r\nEs beginnt mit einem blauen Dämmerungshimmel, der sich verdunkelt und den sternenklaren Nachthimmel auf der Bühne zusammen mit irdischen Wolken über einer wunderschönen Landschaft enthüllt. Die beeindruckenden Teile der südlichen Milchstraße zwischen Scorpius und Crux, mit den Zeigersternen alpha und beta Centauri, ziehen majestätisch vorbei. Die irdischen Wolken verwischen die Sterne und lassen ihre Farben noch deutlicher erkennen.\r\n\r\nDer erste Akt zeigt den Sternhimmel in der menschlichen Kultur. In einer Szene sieht man die Plejaden über einem Hügel aufgehen, während ein Mensch mit einer Taschenlampe eilig nach unten läuft. Genau in dem Moment, in dem die Plejaden hinter dem Hügel aufgehen, trifft der Strahl der Taschenlampe die Kamera. Diese bemerkenswerte Szene hat einen gewissen Humor und verweist auf die kulturgeschichtliche Beziehung der Menschen zum Aufgang der Plejaden.\r\n\r\nDie nächste Szene zeigt den Großen Wagen (lat. Ursa Major) als typisches nördliches Sternbild mit einem Polarlichtbogen darunter. Die Aurora entwickelt sich und bewegt sich, ändert sich aber nicht grundlegend. In den nördlichen Kulturen der Menschen wurden Polarlichter oft als Geister der Vorfahren gedeutet, aber dieses Stück geht nicht auf den Glauben der Menschen ein, sondern verlagert den Blick in den folgenden Szenen nach Süden. Zunächst sehen wir einige Sterne, die kurz vor Sonnenaufgang aufgehen. Der Lichtkegel des Zodiakallichts erscheint in den Sternbildern Zwillinge und Stier und der Horizont wird heller. In der nächsten Szene, bei etwa 1 Minute und 13 Sekunden, sehen wir den Orion über dem Wasser untergehen, so dass die Wasseroberfläche die Himmelsszene spiegelt. Einige Wolken, die das Bild durchkreuzen, beweisen, dass die Videos tatsächlich auf unserem schönen Planeten aufgenommen wurden, und da Orions Schulter und Fuß fast gleichzeitig untergehen, muss diese Sequenz in der Nähe des Äquators aufgenommen worden sein. Dort sehen die hellen Sterne des Orion wie ein riesiger Schmetterling aus, wobei der Gürtel des Orion den Körper bildet und das Viereck aus vier hellen Sternen als Flügel interpretiert wird.\r\n\r\nWie in einem richtigen Theater sehen wir nun einen Vorhang vor dem nächsten Akt des himmlischen Schauspiels: einen Polarlicht-Vorhang. Der nächste Akt zeigt mehrere helle Sterne am Original-Schauplatz: die chinesischen Sterngruppen des Schwanzes (des Blauen Drachens), des Getreidekorbs und der Südlichen Schöpfkelle, die in den modernen Sternbildern Skorpion und Schütze zu sehen sind. Die auffällige Form der Corona Borealis, die in vielen Kulturen auf der ganzen Welt als Sternbild anerkannt ist, wird ebenfalls gezeigt, ebenso wie einige Planeten, die Sterne Wega und Deneb mit angrenzenden Bereichen, Altair, die Milchstraße und die charakteristische W-Form der Kassiopeia, die für viele Kulturen auf der Erde ebenfalls ein Sternbild ist.\r\n\r\nDas Outro zeigt zwei weitere Szenen mit einem ruhigen und stillen Nachthimmel.",

Designed with a cosmic alignment in mind, the palace echoes the orientation of the North Star, also known as Polaris, a celestial anchor that has long guided navigators and symbolised steadiness in the sky. It was believed that the Emperor embodied the earthly representation of this pole star, bridging the realms between heaven and earth. In this harmonious one-hour exposure captured with a smartphone, the streaks of stars trace their nightly journey across the firmament, converging toward the North Star, reflecting the precision of both architectural design and celestial paths.",

Starting in China, the Big Dipper graces the night sky, a steadfast guide embedded in cultural narratives. Its luminance marks the beginning of this celestial odyssey. The two pointer stars on the end of the Big Dipper point to the North Star (Polaris) which appears to remain stationary as the sky rotates. From Nepal’s lofty peaks, the Big Dipper’s familiarity persists, a reliable fixture in the shifting panorama of the rotating planet. Moving to Chile, the Southern Cross adorns the firmament, emblematic of the southern skies. Frames from Chile showcase this constellation accompanied by the Milky Way Galaxy. In Namibia, a telescope from the H.E.S.S. Observatory appears in the video. Later, nestled beneath sheltering trees, the Big Dipper persists in its celestial prominence, appearing against a canvas of stars. Using varied techniques — fisheye lenses, static cameras, and Earth's movement-tracking — each frame unveils the Cross’s grandeur against diverse landscapes. These sequences — marked by star trails and Earth’s rotation—highlight the enduring presence of the Big Dipper and Southern Cross, bridging cultures and celestial beauty across hemispheres.",

The phases appear similar to the phases we see of our own Moon and occur for similar reasons. Only half of Venus is illuminated by the Sun and, from Earth, we can sometimes only see part of that illuminated half, depending on the relative positions of the Sun, Earth and Venus. Both Mercury and Venus exhibit phases because their orbit is between the Sun and the orbit of Earth. Depending on the position of Venus relative to the Sun and Earth, Venus goes through its phases over a period of time. This sequence of images beautifully showcases the transition from the ‘gibbous’ to the slender crescents. The use of infrared filters helped to capture Venus's dense perpetual cloud cover during daylight in sharp detail, providing a glimpse into the mysterious nature of the planet’s atmosphere.",

Le fasi appaiono simili a quelle della nostra Luna e si verificano per motivi analoghi. Solo metà di Venere è illuminata dal Sole e, dalla Terra, a volte possiamo vedere solo una parte di questa metà illuminata, a seconda delle posizioni relative di Sole, Terra e Venere. Sia Mercurio che Venere presentano delle fasi perché la loro orbita si trova tra il Sole e l'orbita della Terra. A seconda della posizione di Venere rispetto al Sole e alla Terra, Venere attraversa le sue fasi per un certo periodo di tempo. Questa sequenza di immagini mostra magnificamente la transizione dalle mezzelune \"gibbose\" a quelle più sottili. L'uso di filtri all'infrarosso ha permesso di catturare la densa e perpetua copertura nuvolosa di Venere durante la luce del giorno con dettagli nitidi, fornendo uno sguardo alla natura misteriosa dell'atmosfera del pianeta.",

Die Phasen ähneln den Phasen, die wir bei unserem Mond sehen, und treten aus ähnlichen Gründen auf. Nur eine Hälfte der Venus wird von der Sonne beleuchtet, und von der Erde aus können wir manchmal nur einen Teil dieser beleuchteten Hälfte sehen, je nachdem wie Sonne, Erde und Venus zueinander stehen. Sowohl Merkur als auch Venus weisen Phasen auf, weil ihre Umlaufbahnen zwischen der Sonne und der Erdbahn liegen. Je nach Position der Venus relativ zu Sonne und Erde durchläuft die Venus ihre Phasen über einen bestimmten Zeitraum. Diese Bildsequenz zeigt sehr schön den Übergang von der abnehmenden Phase nach der \"Vollvenus\" hin zu immer schmaleren Sicheln. Der Einsatz von Infrarotfiltern half dabei, die dichte, immerwährende Wolkendecke der Venus bei Tageslicht in scharfen Details einzufangen, was einen Einblick in die geheimnisvolle Natur der Atmosphäre des Planeten ermöglicht.",

The mesmerising dance of the Aurora Borealis (Australis), commonly known as the Northern (Southern) Lights, paints the night sky in striking hues. The aurora is a natural phenomenon caused by charged particles from the Sun interacting with Earth’s atmosphere, and being redirected by Earth’s magnetic field towards the north and south polar regions. The charged particles excite atoms and molecules in the atmosphere, resulting in a light display that varies in colour and form. The different colours of an aurora are determined by the gases (atoms and molecules) in Earth's atmosphere, the altitude of the aurora, the density of the atmosphere, and the energy of the charged particles. In general, green is attributed to atomic oxygen, red is associated with high-altitude atomic oxygen and molecular nitrogen, while purple and blue are associated with molecular nitrogen only. Pink auroras are typically associated with a mix of nitrogen blue and red. On this particular night, the serene environment of Cassidy Point provided an unobstructed view of the lights.",

L'ipnotica danza dell'Aurora Boreale (Australis) dipinge il cielo notturno con sfumature suggestive. L'aurora è un fenomeno naturale causato da particelle cariche provenienti dal Sole che interagiscono con l'atmosfera terrestre e vengono reindirizzate dal campo magnetico terrestre verso le regioni polari nord e sud. Le particelle cariche eccitano gli atomi e le molecole dell'atmosfera, dando vita a uno spettacolo luminoso che varia nei colori e nella forma. I diversi colori di un'aurora sono determinati dai gas (atomi e molecole) presenti nell'atmosfera terrestre, dall'altitudine dell'aurora, dalla densità dell'atmosfera e dall'energia delle particelle cariche. In generale, il verde è attribuito alle molecole di ossigeno, il rosso è associato alle molecole di ossigeno ad alta quota, il viola e il blu sono associati all'idrogeno e all'elio, mentre le aurore rosa sono tipicamente associate all'azoto. In questa notte particolare, l'ambiente sereno di Cassidy Point ha permesso di vedere le luci senza ostacoli.

The centre frame marks due west. As Earth orbits the Sun, the position of the setting (and rising) Sun changes from being northward of due west (east) in summer to southward of due west (east) in winter. During the equinoxes — when day and night are of equal length — the Sun rises directly in the east and sets directly in the west. The changing location of the Sun on the horizon is due to Earth’s axial tilt as it orbits the Sun.

Während der Tag- und-Nachtgleiche - wenn Tag und Nacht gleich lang sind - geht die Sonne direkt im Osten auf und direkt im Westen unter. Die wechselnde Position der Sonne am Horizont ist auf die axiale Neigung der Erde auf ihrer Umlaufbahn um die Sonne zurückzuführen.

The star-studded canvas showcases the grandeur of the Milky Way, adorned by the rotating Large and Small Magellanic Clouds swirling around the Southern Celestial Pole. The prominent constellations of Crux, Centaurus, Scorpius, and the former Argo Navis (Carina, Puppis, Vela) are also visible. The spectacle begins just after nightfall, capturing the radiant descent of Canopus, a beacon about to dip below the horizon. Throughout the sequence, there is a subtle presence of passing aeroplanes, fleeting headlights of cars, drifting clouds, and the ethereal airglow. At a stunning moment, a vivid meteor streaked across the sky, a breathtaking fireball briefly igniting the right lower corner around the 41st second mark. As the sequence progresses, the rising moon elegantly illuminates the landscape, casting its glow upon an ancient tree trunk resting on the dry, dusty grounds of the Salar de Atacama. This captivating journey through the night skies concludes before the break of dawn, offering a glimpse into the celestial marvels that are woven into the nocturnal tapestry of San Pedro de Atacama.",

La tela stellata mostra la grandezza della Via Lattea, ornata dalle Grandi e Piccole Nubi di Magellano che ruotano attorno al Polo Celeste Sud. Anche le costellazioni di Crux, Centaurus, Scorpius e l'ex Argo Navis (Carina, Puppis, Vela) sono visibili in questo time-lapse che riceve una menzione d'onore nella categoria Time-lapse della rotazione dell'Orsa Maggiore o della Croce del Sud. Lo spettacolo inizia subito dopo il tramonto, catturando la radiosa discesa di Canopo, un faro che sta per scendere sotto l'orizzonte. Nel corso della sequenza, si intravede la presenza di aerei di passaggio, di fari di automobili, di nuvole alla deriva e dell'etereo bagliore dell'aria. In un momento straordinario, una vivida meteora attraversa il cielo, una palla di fuoco mozzafiato che si accende brevemente nell'angolo in basso a destra intorno al 41° secondo. Man mano che la sequenza procede, la luna crescente illumina elegantemente il paesaggio, proiettando il suo bagliore su un antico tronco d'albero appoggiato sul terreno secco e polveroso del Salar de Atacama. Questo affascinante viaggio nel cielo notturno si conclude prima dell'alba, offrendo uno sguardo sulle meraviglie celesti che si intrecciano nell'arazzo notturno di San Pedro de Atacama.",

Das Spektakel beginnt kurz nach Einbruch der Dunkelheit und fängt den strahlenden Untergang von Canopus ein, einem strahlenden Stern, der kurz davor ist, unter den Horizont zu sinken. Während der gesamten Sequenz sind vorbeiziehende Flugzeuge, flüchtige Autoscheinwerfer, treibende Wolken und das ätherische Glühen der Luft zu sehen. In einem zauberhaften Moment saust ein lebendiger Meteor über den Himmel, ein atemberaubender Feuerball, der die rechte untere Ecke des Bildrahmens um die 41ste Sekunde herum kurz erhellt. Im weiteren Verlauf der Sequenz beleuchtet der aufgehende Mond elegant die Landschaft und wirft seinen Schein auf einen uralten Baumstamm, der auf dem trockenen, staubigen Boden des Salar de Atacama ruht.

Among the stars’ grand theatre, the Southern Cross constellation claims its place in the scene, distinguished by its distinctive cross shape as seen in the top of this video and slightly to the right just over the Milky Way, slowly disappearing as the video progresses. This celestial marker, a prominent feature in the southern hemisphere, holds cultural and navigational significance, having served as a navigational guidepost for centuries. Accompanying the Milky Way’s grandeur are the two Magellanic clouds, celestial companions seen dancing in the distant sky. The Carina Nebula adds its ethereal glow to the cosmic panorama, painting a radiant hue against the darkness. In the midst of this celestial ballet, a gentle green hue envelops the atmosphere, a phenomenon known as airglow, adding a touch of subtle luminescence to the night sky. The terrestrial also makes an appearance, with planes flying overhead and vehicles driving between observatory buildings.

Using a fisheye lens, the photographer captured the Sun's positions at regular intervals from sunrise to sunset on the three different days, illustrating the changing lengths of day and night throughout the year. The variations in the Sun’s daily path across the sky, its height at midday, and the positions of sunrise and sunset, as well as the length of a day, depend on Earth’s axial tilt relative to its orbit around the Sun. The series was taken from a rooftop in Bursa, where the local terrain adds its own unique touch by occasionally obstructing the horizon. Oriented with north at the top and south at the bottom, this visual diary serves as a stunning representation of the Sun’s path for those residing in mid-northern latitudes.",

Dominating the night sky, the majestic arc of the Milky Way creates a celestial bridge across the heavens. The image captures a range of notable astronomical objects: the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, seen towards the bottom of the image and appearing as fuzzy clouds; Antares, seen towards the top left of the image; and the coalsack nebula (referred to by various names by Indigenous cultures around the world), seen vertically above the Large Magellanic Cloud. Silhouetted against this astral backdrop, the trees — which are actually succulent aloe plants native to southern Africa — add a touch of Earth's unique beauty. Historically, these plants were known as ‘quiver trees’ because groups of local Indigenous people would use their hollowed branches to hold darts. The serene Namibian landscape, combined with the brilliance of the southern hemisphere's stars, offers a glimpse into the majesty of our Universe.",

It combines images taken at different times of day over the course of six months. Each curve tracks the Sun’s path (or arc) across the sky on a particular day. The sweeping arc of the Sun is distorted here by the projection, making it appear like a curve. The position of the daily arc across the sky changes with the Sun’s seasonal movement in the sky. Captured using a simple pinhole camera fashioned from a coffee can, it shows the Sun's journey over the course of six months, and the gradual shift of the daily arc from the summer, when it is higher in the sky, to its lowest arc at the winter solstice. Gaps in the Sun’s path represent days or times of day when the Sun was obscured by clouds. This image is a vivid testament to the changing seasons, revealing the Sun's dance in the sky as days grow shorter or longer.",

Gli spazi vuoti nel percorso del Sole rappresentano i giorni o le ore del giorno in cui il Sole è stato oscurato dalle nuvole.
