This page describes an image The Milky Way in the Smart World
Image caption:
In this tranquil image, taken in July 2022 in the darkness of Sicily’s Nebrodi Park, the grandeur of the Milky Way stretches above the natural megaliths of the Argimusco plateau, akin to a Sicilian Stonehenge. This celestial tapestry displays a multitude of astronomical sights: the constellations of Sagittarius (towards the bottom left of the image) and Scorpius (partly obscured by the megalith), the Lagoon Nebula (the pinkish region in the top left of the megalith), and the small Sagittarius Cloud (the fuzzy region in the top left of the Lagoon Nebula). Remarkably, the photo was taken with a smartphone, and serves as a testament to the wonders that lay hidden in the night, accessible to those who venture away from the glare of city lights into the serene embrace of unspoiled darkness.

Image caption: Vincitore del Concorso Astrofotografico IAU OAE 2023, categoria Immagini fisse con smartphone-dispositivi mobili: La Via Lattea nel mondo smart, di Biagio Meli.
In questa tranquilla immagine, scattata nel luglio 2022 nell'oscurità del Parco dei Nebrodi in Sicilia, l'imponenza della Via Lattea si estende sopra i megaliti naturali dell'altopiano dell'Argimusco, simili a una Stonehenge siciliana. Questo arazzo celeste mostra una moltitudine di attrazioni astronomiche: le costellazioni del Sagittario (in basso a sinistra dell'immagine) e dello Scorpione (parzialmente oscurata dal megalite), la Nebulosa della Laguna (la regione rosata in alto a sinistra del megalite) e la piccola Nube del Sagittario (la regione sfocata in alto a sinistra della Nebulosa della Laguna). La foto è stata scattata con uno smartphone e testimonia le meraviglie nascoste nella notte, accessibili a chi si avventura lontano dal bagliore delle luci cittadine nel sereno abbraccio dell'oscurità incontaminata. È uno dei sei vincitori nella categoria Immagini fisse scattate esclusivamente con smartphone/dispositivi mobili.

Image caption: 这张宁静的照片于2022年7月在意大利西西里岛内布罗迪公园的黑暗夜空下拍摄。在阿吉穆斯科高原的天然巨石上方，壮丽的银河横跨天际，宛如一座西西里的“巨石阵”。这幅星空画卷展现了众多天文奇观：人马座（位于图片左下方）和天蝎座（部分被巨石遮挡）、礁湖星云（巨石左上方的粉红色区域）以及小人马座云（礁湖星云左上方的模糊区域）。值得注意的是的是，这张照片是用智能手机拍摄的，它向我们展示了隐藏于夜空中的奇迹，那些敢于远离城市刺眼灯光，投身于未受污染的宁静黑暗怀抱的人能捕捉到这片令人叹为观止的星空。
