TEASER

Simply breath-taking: The Milky Way floats over a serene lake in an image which took two years to get just right

Occasionally an image comes along which is simply breath-taking.

This, we humbly submit, is one of them, an image of the Orion Arm of the Milky Way galaxy, stretching in an immense band across the skies and giving us just the tiniest glimpse of the vastness of our universe around us.

The image was taken by astrophotographer Luc Perrot on the French island of Réunion, to the East of Madagascar, who reports that he waited two years to get the perfect light conditions.

But it was worth it.

Simply stunning: Photographer Luc Perrot photographed this amazing view of the Milky Way

The image was taken earlier this month at the Piton de l'Eau on Reunion Island.

In the foreground, surrounded by bushes and trees, lies a water-filled volcanic crater serenely reflecting starlight.

A careful inspection near the image center will locate Piton des Neiges, the highest peak on the island, situated several kilometers away.

In the background, high above the lake, shines the light of hundreds of stars, most of which are within 100 light years, right in our stellar neighborhood.

Far in the distance, arching majestically overhead, is the central band of our home Milky Way Galaxy, shining by the light of millions of stars each located typically thousands of light years away.

Fotograf je čekao dve godine da bi nastao ovaj neverovatni snimak Mlečnog puta

Neke fotografije nas naprosto ostavljaju bez daha, a jedna od njih je svakako i ovaj snimak Orionovog kraka Mlečnog puta, koji u vidu ogromnog pojasa ukrašava nebo, omogućavajući nam da makar naslutimo nepregledna prostranstva sveta oko nas. Fotografiju je snimio astrofotograf Lik Pero na francuskom ostrvu Reunionu, istočno od Madagaskara, koji tvrdi da je dve godine čekao savršene svetlosne uslove.

Fotografija Mlečnog puta koju je napravio Lik Pero

Slika je nastala početkom ovog meseca kod vulkanskog kraterskog jezera Piton d lo, na ostrvu Reunion.

U prvom planu je vulkanski krater napunjen vodom, okružen grmljem i drvećem, u kome se vidi odsjaj zvezda. Pažljiviji posmatrači prepoznaće u središnjem delu slike Piton de Než, najviši vrh na ostrvu, udaljen nekoliko kilometara od ovog mesta.

U pozadini, visoko iznad jezera, blistaju stotine zvezda, od kojih je većina udaljena najviše 100 svetlosnih godina, dok se centralni pojas Mlečnog puta u obliku luka ponosito pruža nebom i sija svetlošću miliona zvezda udaljenih hiljadama svetlosnih godina.

A passing cloud seems to offer a soft landing for comet Lovejoy in a picture taken in late December from the French-run island of Réunion, off the east coast of Madagascar.

Explanation: You don't have to be on Reunion Island to see this week's planetary conjunction. Only if you want to see this picturesque seascape as well. To see the conjunction from just about anywhere in the world, look to the west after sunset. The first planet you may notice is Venus, the brightest object in the western sky. Above Venus, the second brightest object is Jupiter. The hardest planet to spot is Mercury, which is visible only briefly after sunset as a faint dot just above the horizon. Picturesque rocks leading out from Reunion Island to the Indian Ocean populate the foreground of the above picture. Taken last week, the distant planets Venus and Jupiter were joined by a bright crescent Moon, which has now moved away.

Publié sur le site du National Geographic le 22 mars 2012

Venus (right) and Jupiter appear to meet in the sky over the French island of Réunion in a recently released picture of this month's planetary conjunction.

Also called the evening star, Venus is the brightest planet we can see with the naked eye, due in part to its thick, highly reflective atmosphere and its closeness to Earth.
