For World Photography Day on August 19, Thomas reviews the shortlist of the 2024 Astronomy Photographer of the Year — from a dragon-shaped aurora to star trails mirrored by ten thousand heliostat mirrors, from a 1.5-light-year-wide nebula to a galaxy 11.75 million light-years away. This article regroups the works by theme with screenshots, so you can quickly see what makes each image strong."},{"t":"h","x":"01 极光三重奏：形态决定一切","xe":"01 Three Auroras: Shape Is Everything"},{"t":"p","x":"第一张就是全场话题度极高的极光：它的形态真像一条飞起来的龙、一只起飞的凤凰。更妙的是地景——冰岛的玄武岩石柱阵自带历史文化气质，其中一根石柱的尖端正好指向「龙头」，是非常难得的时机抓拍（视频 0:58 处）。","xe":"The first image is the most talked-about aurora of the shortlist: its shape really resembles a flying dragon, a rising phoenix. Even better is the foreground — the basalt columns in Iceland carry a timeless, almost mythic character, and one column's tip points exactly at the dragon's head, a once-in-a-lifetime coincidence of timing (at 0:58 in the video)."},{"t":"img","f":"v01","w":852,"h":480},{"t":"p","x":"接着是一张 Kp7 级地磁暴的极光风暴：绿色、红色、紫色同时铺满天幕，极为壮观。而更有意思的是下一张的处理思路——摄影师把极光直接处理成黑白，主动去掉色彩信息，让观众的所有注意力都集中在极光的形态上：那道弧线像龙又像奔马，独特而震撼（视频 7:49 处）。","xe":"Next comes an aurora storm at Kp7: green, red and violet flooding the sky at once, spectacular in color. The following image takes the opposite approach — the photographer converted the aurora to black and white, deliberately stripping the color so every ounce of attention goes to the aurora's form: an arc like a dragon or a galloping horse, utterly distinctive (at 7:49 in the video)."},{"t":"img","f":"v10","w":852,"h":480},{"t":"img","f":"v11","w":852,"h":480},{"t":"h","x":"02 深空影像：宇宙的尺度","xe":"02 Deep Sky: Sizing Up the Universe"},{"t":"p","x":"CG4 是位于南半球船尾座的一个星云与尘埃复合体，形态像一只猫在扑捉飞碟。它的头部尺寸就达到 1.5 光年——由无数星星组成的一个巨大「形状」。这样的天体太暗弱，是一群摄影师联合向望远镜服务商租赁了强力天文望远镜，才最终拍到（视频 1:28 处）。","xe":"CG4 is a nebula-and-dust complex in the southern constellation Puppis, shaped like a cat pouncing on a flying saucer. Its head alone spans 1.5 light-years — an enormous figure woven from countless stars. The object is so faint that a team of photographers jointly rented a powerful telescope service to capture it at all (at 1:28 in the video)."},{"t":"img","f":"v02","w":852,"h":480},{"t":"p","x":"行星摄影同样出彩：一张照片拍下了木星被木卫一和木卫三环抱的场景，衬托出宇宙的深邃。更硬核的是矮行星谷神星——摄影师用 8 个小时的多张长曝光，记录下它在星系旋臂之外运行的位置变化，谷神星比背后的星系更亮、移动更快，后期叠加之后轨迹清晰可见（视频 2:05 处）。","xe":"Planetary work is just as strong: one image captures Jupiter flanked by its moons Io and Ganymede, evoking the depth of space. Even more hardcore is the dwarf planet Ceres — the photographer spent eight hours shooting stacked long exposures to record it moving beyond a galaxy's spiral arms; Ceres outshines the galaxy behind it and drifts quickly, its path plain after stacking (at 2:05 in the video)."},{"t":"img","f":"v03","w":852,"h":480},{"t":"img","f":"v07","w":852,"h":480},{"t":"p","x":"而 M81 波德星系的照片把「尺度感」推到顶点：它位于大熊座，距离我们 1175 万光年——你现在看到的这些光线，已经穿行了 1175 万年才抵达地球。和宇宙相比，人类的时间与空间尺度实在微不足道（视频 6:21 处）。","xe":"And the photo of M81, Bode's Galaxy, pushes the sense of scale to its peak: it lies in Ursa Major, 11.75 million light-years away — the light reaching your eyes tonight has been traveling for 11.75 million years. Against the universe, human scales of time and space barely register (at 6:21 in the video)."},{"t":"h","x":"03 日与月：经典题材怎么卷","xe":"03 Sun and Moon: How the Classics Get Competitive"},{"t":"p","x":"太阳与月亮是天文摄影里最「卷」的经典题材。中国摄影师李文莲抓拍到了太阳边缘爆发的巨大日珥，橙红色的表面纹理纤毫毕现；日全食的贝利珠序列也是永恒的经典——食甚前后的一串珠链，把几分钟的过程凝成一张照片（视频 2:17 处）。","xe":"Sun and moon are the most hotly competed classics in astrophotography. Chinese photographer Wenlian Li caught enormous prominences erupting from the sun's limb, every fiber of the orange-red surface rendered; and the Baily's beads sequence of a total solar eclipse remains timeless — a string of pearls compressing minutes of the eclipse into one frame (at 2:17 in the video)."},{"t":"img","f":"v04","w":852,"h":480},{"t":"img","f":"v08","w":852,"h":480},{"t":"p","x":"月亮照片如今越来越多，肯定会继续卷下去：有人拍满月与国际空间站的同框，人类的巨大科研设施在月亮面前也显渺小；有人拍 51% 光照的半月与空间站轨迹的叠加，形成独特的秩序感。还有一张教科书级的时间合成：摄影师先针对月亮用稍长的曝光记录清晰的月面，再提高快门速度抓拍海面飞鸟，两张叠加就有了氛围感十足的作品（视频 9:36 处）。","xe":"Moon photos keep multiplying, and the competition only sharpens: one image pairs the full moon with the International Space Station, dwarfing humanity's grandest research facility; another stacks the 51-percent-lit half moon with the station's traced path for an uncanny sense of order. And one is a textbook time blend: expose slightly longer for a clean lunar surface first, then raise the shutter speed to freeze birds over the sea, and blend the two into a wonderfully atmospheric frame (at 9:36 in the video)."},{"t":"img","f":"v12","w":852,"h":480},{"t":"h","x":"04 中国摄影师：镜阵映星轨","xe":"04 Chinese Photographers: Mirrors Reflecting the Stars"},{"t":"p","x":"本期最让 Thomas 惊艳的中国作品来自戴建峰：画面是敦煌的 100 兆瓦熔盐塔式光热发电站——超过一万面超级镜子围成镜阵，每一面都巨大如墙。夜空中的星轨被镜面反射，形成非常独特的结构，也带出人类探索新能源、走向绿色可持续发展的议题。这种「内容层」的表达，给照片大大加分（视频 2:26 处）。","xe":"The Chinese entry that impressed Thomas most comes from Dai Jianfeng: the Dunhuang 100-megawatt molten-salt tower solar thermal plant — more than ten thousand giant heliostat mirrors in concentric arrays. Star trails reflect off the mirrors into a singular structure, carrying the theme of humanity exploring new energy and a green, sustainable future. That layer of meaning lifts the photograph considerably (at 2:26 in the video)."},{"t":"img","f":"v05","w":852,"h":480},{"t":"p","x":"加上李文莲的太阳爆发特写，以及另一位中国摄影师爬上高海拔拍到的独特天文现象与地景，本届入围名单里的中国面孔相当亮眼——天文摄影这一原本小众的领域，正在被更多中国摄影师卷出新高（视频 8:43 处）。","xe":"Add Wenlian Li's solar close-up and another Chinese photographer's rare celestial phenomenon shot from extreme altitude, and this year's shortlist carries a notably strong Chinese presence — a once-niche field is being pushed to new heights by Chinese photographers (at 8:43 in the video)."},{"t":"h","x":"05 元素与秩序：评委的加分项","xe":"05 Elements and Order: What Wins the Judges Over"},{"t":"p","x":"不是元素越多越好。这张来自西班牙拉帕尔马岛的照片有小路、天文台、银河、星云、双子座流星，甚至还有气辉——每个单独看都不错，但 Thomas 觉得元素实在太多，画面略显杂乱。相比之下，寓意清晰的画面更打动人：石头与钢筋组成的奔跑者雕像面向银河，人类终将走向宇宙；新西兰的银河拱桥正在落下，地平线上还压着一层南极光的黄色光线，是极为罕见的天象（视频 3:13 处）。","xe":"More elements do not make a better picture. This one from La Palma, Spain, packs a path, an observatory, the Milky Way, nebulae, Geminid meteors and even airglow — each fine on its own, yet Thomas finds the frame overcrowded. Clearer intent wins: a runner statue of stone and steel facing the Milky Way, humanity bound for the stars; and over New Zealand the galactic arch sets while a band of yellow aurora australis hugs the horizon — a rare celestial encounter (at 3:13 in the video)."},{"t":"img","f":"v06","w":852,"h":480},{"t":"p","x":"类似的巧思贯穿整份名单：有人用光绘点亮废弃的房屋与银河呼应；有人把干涸滩涂上的曲线与星轨的弧线拍成交相呼应；还有人从火星勘测轨道器的图像里抽象出如油画般的火星景观。天文摄影比拼的早已不只是器材与暗夜，更是想法、耐心与表达（视频 4:31 处）。","xe":"Such ingenuity runs through the whole list: light painting to ignite an abandoned house against the Milky Way; the curves of a dried mudflat answering the arcs of star trails; Mars abstracted into an oil-painting-like vista from orbiter imagery. Astrotrophies today are won on ideas, patience and expression — not just gear and dark skies (at 4:31 in the video)."},{"t":"quote","x":"1. 极光拼的是形态：抓拍龙形弧线、地景尖端正对龙头、或干脆转黑白只留结构，都是让形态说话；2. 深空题材靠尺度与坚持打动人：1.5 光年的星云、8 小时追踪的谷神星、1175 万光年外的星光；3. 日月题材已经很卷，日珥、贝利珠、空间站凌月与时间合成是破卷方向；4. 好照片要有内容层——镜阵映星轨的绿色议题、雕像面向银河的寓意，比堆砌元素更能打动评委。","xe":"1. Auroras are judged on form: catch the dragon arc, align a stone tip with its head, or go black-and-white and let structure speak; 2. Deep sky moves us through scale and persistence — a 1.5-light-year nebula, eight hours on Ceres, starlight 11.75 million years old; 3. Sun-and-moon is a crowded field — prominences, Baily's beads, ISS transits and time blends are how to stand out; 4. Great images carry a message — mirrors reflecting star trails and a statue facing the galaxy move judges more than piled-up elements."},{"t":"h","x":"全部教程列表：","xe":"Full tutorial list:"},{"t":"h","x":"全部摄影教程目录 (2024.4.16更新)","xe":"Complete Photography Tutorial Index (updated 2024.4.16)"},{"t":"h","x":"高清视频：","xe":"HD video:"},{"t":"p","x":"https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1rf421q7cu/","b":false,"xe":"https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1rf421q7cu/"},{"t":"p","x":"扫描上面二维码或点击文末“阅读原文”","b":false,"xe":"Scan the QR code above or click \"Read the Original\" at the end of the article"}],"titleEn":"The Strongest Night-Sky Photos!
