Astronomy Picture of the Day——大峡谷中落日映衬的夜空
A Sunset Night Sky over the Grand Canyon

Explanation: Seeing mountain peaks glow red from inside the Grand Canyon was one of the most incredible sunset experiences of this amateur photographer's life. They appeared even more incredible later, when digitally combined with an exposure of the night sky -- taken by the same camera and from the same location -- an hour later. The two images were taken last August from the 220 Mile Canyon campsite on the Colorado River, Arizona, USA. The peaks glow red because they were lit by an unusually red sunset. Later, high above, the band of the Milky Way Galaxy angled dramatically down, filled with stars, nebula, and dark clouds of dust. To the Milky Way's left is the planet Saturn, while to the right is the brighter Jupiter. Although Jupiter and Saturn are now hard to see, Venus will be visible and quite bright to the west in clear skies, just after sunset, for the next two months.
大峡谷中落日映衬的夜空
日落时分，从大峡谷中欣赏被阳光染红的山峰是这位业余摄影师的挚爱。使用数码技术，将一个小时之后在同一地点、同一部相机拍摄的夜空照片组合之后，就诞生了这幅令人不可思议的景象。这两张照片是去年8月份从美国科罗拉多州科罗拉多河220英里峡谷露营地拍摄的。同往常一样，山峰被红色的落日照亮。此后，高高的天空中，银河如一条亮带直落而下，能够看到无数的恒星、星云和尘埃构成的暗星云。银河的左侧是土星，右侧是更亮的木星。土星和木星现在基本看不到，但在接下来的两个月里，相当明亮的金星将出现在黄昏时西方的天空。
