This page describes an image Milky Way Over H.E.S.S Observatory
Image caption:
The darkness of the skies at H.E.S.S Observatory reveal the seemingly innumerable stars that make up the Milky Way galaxy, making it challenging to discern the constellations as seen taken with a smartphone from Namibia in June 2023. The stars Alpha and Beta Centauri are visible bottom left of the image just about the tower. The orange-hued star visible just above and to the right of the left H.E.S.S telescope is Antares, a red-giant star that is part of the constellation Scorpius.

Image caption: Menzione d'onore al concorso di astrofotografia IAU OAE 2023, categoria Immagini fisse con smartphone-dispositivi mobili: Via Lattea sopra l'Osservatorio H.E.S.S., di Jianfeng Dai.
L'oscurità del cielo sopra l'Osservatorio H.E.S.S. rivela l'apparentemente innumerevole quantità di stelle che compongono la Via Lattea, rendendo difficile distinguere le costellazioni viste dalla Namibia nel giugno 2023. Le stelle Alfa e Beta Centauri sono visibili in basso a sinistra dell'immagine, proprio vicino alla torre. La stella arancione visibile appena sopra e a destra del telescopio H.E.S.S. di sinistra è Antares, una stella gigante rossa che fa parte della costellazione dello Scorpione. Questa immagine riceve una menzione d'onore nella categoria Immagini fisse scattate esclusivamente con smartphone/dispositivi mobili.

Image caption: 2023 年 6 月，在纳米比亚，H.E.S.S 天文台的天空一片漆黑，组成银河系的恒星似乎数不胜数，让人难以在这张用智能手机拍摄的照片上分辨星座。在照片左下方的塔附近，可见半人马座阿尔法星和贝塔星。在照片左侧的 H.E.S.S 望远镜右上方，可见一颗橙色恒星——心宿二，位于天蝎座心脏的一颗红巨星。
