银河系总是从这两块岩石之间升起吗？否。捕捉这种惊人的排列需要仔细的计划：在正确的时间出现在正确的地点。在这张于2024年6月从新西兰奥塔哥拍摄的特色照片中，我们银河系明亮的核心，银河系4000亿颗恒星中的许多恒星的家园，可以在两个风景如画的岩石尖塔之间看到。对于地球北半球的观测者来说，只有在整个夏天才能看到地核。当地球绕太阳公转时，银河系的不同部分在夜晚的不同时间以不同的角度可见。随着地球的旋转，银河系在天空中的方向也会发生变化——有时像这张特色图片中看到的那样垂直站立，有时则平行于地平线伸展，这使得它更难被看到。在六月初，观察者可以看到它在日落后出现在地平线上，逐渐上升，展现出它的壮丽。

Does the Milky Way always rise between these two rocks? No. Capturing this stunning alignment took careful planning: being in the right place at the right time. In the featured image taken in June 2024 from Otago, New Zealand, the bright central core of our Milky Way Galaxy, home to the many of our Galaxy's 400 billion stars, can be seen between two picturesque rocks spires. For observers in Earth's Northern Hemisphere, the core is only visible throughout the summer. As Earth orbits the Sun, different parts of the Milky Way become visible at different angles at different times of the night. As Earth rotates, the orientation of the Milky Way in the sky also shifts -- sometimes standing vertically as seen in the featured image, and other times stretching parallel to the horizon, making it harder to see. In early June, observers can watch it emerge low on the horizon after sunset and gradually arc upward to reveal its full grandeur.
