太陽系家族的合照（魚眼廣角攝影）

?Yes, but have you ever seen all of the planets at once? A rare roll-call of planets has been occurring in the morning sky for much of June. The featured fisheye all-sky image, taken a few mornings ago near the town of San Pedro de Atacama in Chile, caught not only the entire planet parade, but the Moon between Mars and Venus. In order, left to right along the ecliptic plane, members of this Solar System family portrait are Earth, Saturn, Neptune, Jupiter, Mars, Uranus, Venus, Mercury, and Earth. To emphasize their locations, Neptune and Uranus have been artificially enhanced. The volcano just below Mercury is Licancabur. In July, Mercury will move into the Sun’s glare but reappear a few days later on the evening side. Then, in August, Saturn will drift past the direction opposite the Sun and so become visible at dusk instead of dawn. The next time that all eight planets will be simultaneously visible in a morning sky will be in 2122.

你曾同時(shí)見到所有的太陽系行星嗎？這種罕見的“行星點(diǎn)名”景觀，幾乎整個(gè)6月的清晨皆可見。這幅在數(shù)個(gè)早晨前攝于智利．圣佩德羅德阿塔卡馬鎮(zhèn)近郊的魚眼鏡頭全天主題影像，不但捕捉了所有行星的列隊(duì)游行，也拍到位在火星與金星之間的月亮。在這張?zhí)栂导易逭绽铮邳S道上由左到右依序?yàn)榈厍?、土星、海王星、木星、火星、天王星、金星、水星、和地球。為易于看見它們的相?duì)位置，海王星及天王星經(jīng)過人為強(qiáng)化增亮。此外，水星下方的山峰是利坎卡武爾火山。在7月，水星將隱沒在太陽的炫光里，不過，在數(shù)天后會(huì)在另一側(cè)的夜空中復(fù)現(xiàn)。接著在8月，土星將通過與太陽180度反向 的位置，成為傍晚時(shí)分才可見的天體。下次想在清晨天空再同時(shí)見到這8顆大行星，得等到2122年。
