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.
