Afrikaans: Selfs die mees ervare sterrekundiges kan nie die versoeking weerstaan om hul besige waarnemingskedule vir 'n wyle te onderbreek, stil te staan, en die glorieryke suidelike hemelruim bokant hulle gade te slaan nie. Hierdie beeld is 'n selfportret deur die sterrekundige Alan Fitzsimmons, geneem tussen sy waarnemingsessies by die ESO se La Silla-sterrewag.
Die treffende foto kontrasteer sy eenvoudige, stil en donker figuur op Aarde met die helder en skitterende sterreveld in die lae naghemel. Hierdie gesig word oorheers deur die geweldige dwarsstrook van stof en sterre in die wentelvlak van ons tuis-sterrestelsel, die Melkweg. ESO se sterrewagte is in die Atacamawoestyn van noordelike Chili gesetel, 'n streek met baie min bewoners, waar besonder donker nagte gekomplimenteer word deur besonder deursigtige atmosferiese toestande. Sulke toestande is bevorderlik vir sterrekundige waarnemings van hoë kwaliteit. La Silla was ESO se eerste sterrewag, en is in 1969 in gebruik gestel. Dit huisves 'n aantal teleskope met spieëldeursnitte van tot 3,6 meter. Met meer as 300 onoortrokke nagte per jaar, is La Silla voortreflik geleë vir huisvesting van gevorderde waarnemingsinstrumente, maar is benewens ook 'n uitnemende plek om bloot die hemelruim te bewonder. Alan het hierdie foto bygedra tot die Your ESO Pictures Flickr-groep. Hierdie Flickr-groep word gereeld besigtig en die fotos gekeur vir insluiting in ons Prent van die Week-reeks, of vir ons fotogalery.English: It is difficult for even the most seasoned astronomer to resist taking time out of a busy observing schedule to stop and stare up at the gloriously rich southern sky. This image is a self portrait taken by astronomer Alan Fitzsimmons, who took this photo between observing sessions at ESO’s La Silla Observatory.
This bold photo shows the contrast between a simple, still and dark figure on Earth and the brilliant and bright starry night sky. In this picture, the sky is dominated by the enormous splash of stars and dust which make up the centre of the Milky Way, our home galaxy. ESO’s observatories are located in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile, a region with very few inhabitants, which combines very dark nights with extremely clear atmospheric conditions, both factors conducive to making high quality observations. La Silla is ESO’s first observatory. Inaugurated in 1969, it is home to a number of telescopes with mirror diameters of up to 3.6 metres. With more than 300 clear nights every year, La Silla is in an ideal position to house advanced observing instruments, but it also makes it a fabulous place to just stop and gaze up into the sky. Alan submitted this photograph to the Your ESO Pictures Flickr group. The Flickr group is regularly reviewed and the best photos are selected to be featured in our Picture of the Week series or in our picture gallery. |
