This page describes an image Sailing the Celestial Seas
Image caption:
In this black and white snapshot taken in April 2022 with a smartphone, a solitary boat rests on the shores of Lake Eucumbene, Australia, framed by the brilliant display of stars comprising the Milky Way. The prominent glow of the galactic centre stands out against the night sky, its intricate patterns of stars and nebulae casting a striking contrast. Each shimmering dot represents a distant sun, possibly orbited by uncharted planets, underscoring the vastness and complexity of our sprawling home galaxy.

Image caption: Menzione d'onore al concorso di astrofotografia IAU OAE 2023, categoria Immagini fisse con smartphone-dispositivi mobili: Navigare per mari celesti, di Lucy Yunxi Hu.
In questa istantanea in bianco e nero scattata nell'aprile del 2022 con uno smartphone, una barca solitaria riposa sulle rive del lago Eucumbene, in Australia, incorniciata dal brillante spettacolo di stelle che compongono la Via Lattea. L'evidente bagliore del centro galattico si staglia contro il cielo notturno, con i suoi intricati schemi di stelle e nebulose che creano un contrasto sorprendente. Ogni punto scintillante rappresenta un sole lontano, forse circondato da pianeti sconosciuti, e sottolinea la vastità e la complessità della nostra tentacolare galassia. La fotografia riceve una menzione d'onore nella categoria Immagini fisse scattate esclusivamente con smartphone/dispositivi mobili.

Image caption: 在这张于2022年4月用智能手机拍摄的黑白照片，一叶孤舟停靠在澳大利亚尤坎本湖畔，被银河系的璀璨星空所衬托。银心的耀眼光芒在夜空中格外醒目，其星云与恒星交织的复杂图案形成了鲜明的对比。每一颗闪耀的光点都是一颗遥远的恒星，或许周围还环绕着未被探索的行星，突显了我们广袤而复杂的银河家园的浩瀚。
