Image caption: Menzione d'onore al concorso di astrofotografia IAU OAE 2023, categoria Immagini fisse con smartphone-dispositivi mobili: Lago Lugu senza nuvole, di Liu Yang.
Sulle tranquille rive del lago Lugu, il sereno cielo notturno ospita un ipnotico panorama celeste che si riflette nelle calme acque sottostanti. Questa istantanea, scattata nel marzo 2023 nello Yunnan, in Cina, offre una vista mozzafiato della grandezza della galassia, con la Via Lattea che si estende maestosamente nel cielo. La Galassia è un intricato arazzo di stelle, polvere e meraviglie celesti che tessono una storia attraverso la tela del cielo notturno. Questa fusione armoniosa di terra e cielo cattura un momento di tranquillità nella paziente osservazione delle stelle, esaltata da una fortunata pausa nella copertura nuvolosa che ha svelato questa scena accattivante. La fotografia riceve una menzione d'onore nella categoria Immagini fisse scattate esclusivamente con smartphone/dispositivi mobili.
