Image caption: Under the silver glow of the Milky Way, the dormant figure of Popocatépetl stands tall, its silhouette softly illuminated against the night sky. This photograph taken with a smartphone in May 2023, in Paso de Cortez, Mexico, beautifully portrays the Earth’s geological wonders. The volcano Popocatépetl is a mountainous vent in the Earth’s crust through which molten rock, ash, and gases escape from below the surface. Additionally, the photo showcases the visibility of the core of our galaxy, enhancing the captivating view of the night sky and a dramatic and vivid natural phenomenon.

Image caption: মিল্কিওয়ের রূপালী আভায়, পপোকাটেপেটেলের সুপ্ত চিত্রটি লম্বা হয়ে দাঁড়িয়ে আছে, এর সিলুয়েটটি রাতের আকাশের বিপরীতে মৃদুভাবে আলোকিত। মেক্সিকোর পাসো দে কর্টেজে ২০২৩ সালের মে মাসে একটি স্মার্টফোন দিয়ে তোলা এই ফটোগ্রাফটি পৃথিবীর ভূতাত্ত্বিক বিস্ময়কে সুন্দরভাবে তুলে ধরেছে। আগ্নেয়গিরি পপোকেটপেটল হল পৃথিবীর ভূত্বকের একটি পর্বত প্রবাহ যার মাধ্যমে গলিত শিলা, ছাই এবং গ্যাসগুলি পৃষ্ঠের নিচ থেকে বেরিয়ে আসে। উপরন্তু, ফটোটি আমাদের ছায়াপথের মূল অংশের দৃশ্যমানতা প্রদর্শন করে, রাতের আকাশের মনোমুগ্ধকর দৃশ্য এবং একটি নাটকীয় এবং প্রাণবন্ত প্রাকৃতিক ঘটনাকে বাড়িয়ে তোলে।

Image caption: Menzione d'onore al concorso di astrofotografia IAU OAE 2023, categoria Immagini fisse con smartphone-dispositivi mobili: Popocatépetl stellato, di David Olivos Sánchez.
Sotto il bagliore argenteo della Via Lattea, si staglia la figura dormiente del Popocatépetl, la cui sagoma si illumina dolcemente nel cielo notturno. Questa fotografia scattata nel maggio 2023 a Paso de Cortez, in Messico, ritrae magnificamente le meraviglie geologiche della Terra e riceve una menzione d'onore nella categoria Immagini fisse scattate esclusivamente con smartphone/dispositivi mobili. Il vulcano Popocatépetl è una bocca montuosa nella crosta terrestre attraverso la quale roccia fusa, cenere e gas fuoriescono da sotto la superficie. Inoltre, la foto esalta la visibilità del nucleo della nostra galassia, combinando la vista accattivante del cielo notturno e un fenomeno naturale drammatico e vivido.

Image caption: 在璀璨星河的银色光辉沐浴之下,沉睡的波波卡特佩特尔火山(Popocatépetl)以其雄伟的姿态矗立于世,其壮丽的轮廓被夜空的温柔光辉所勾勒。这幅令人叹为观止的景象,是在2023年5月的一个宁静夜晚,于墨西哥的帕索德科尔特斯,通过智能手机的镜头被永久定格。它不仅精美地捕捉了地球地质奇观的壮丽,更展现了波波卡特佩特尔火山——这个地壳中的火山口,其内部熔岩、火山灰和气体在地表下蓄势待发的自然力量。
此外,这幅照片还捕捉到了清晰可见银河系核,为夜空增添了一份迷人的神秘色彩和戏剧性的生动自然现象。在这片星光与火山共舞的天幕下,我们得以窥见宇宙的浩瀚与地球的壮丽,两者交相辉映,共同编织出一幅动人心魄的自然画卷。
