Blasting skyward an Atlas V rocket carrying a U.S. Navy satellite pierces a cloud bank in this starry night scene captured on January 20. On its way to orbit from Space Launch Complex 41, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, planet Earth, the rocket streaks past brightest star Sirius, as seen from a dark beach at Canaveral National Seashore. Above the alpha star of Canis Major, Orion the Hunter strikes a pose familiar to northern winter skygazers. Above Orion is the V-shaped Hyades star cluster, head of Taurus the Bull, and farther still above Taurus it’s easy to spot the compact Pleiades star cluster. Of course near the top of the frame you’ll find the greenish coma and long tail of Comet Lovejoy, astronomical darling of these January nights.

標題:璀璨星空下的火箭升空
1月20日,一枚Atlas V火箭驚豔地竄升而起,搭載著美國海軍衛星,穿越雲層,直取太空。這幅景象在位於「Cape Canaveral Air Force Station」的「Space Launch Complex 41」捕捉而成。在美麗的「Canaveral National Seashore」黑暗海灘上,火箭劃過最亮的星星「Sirius」的身旁,展現出壯觀的瞬間。
在獵人星座「Orion」的上方,我們可以看到V字形的「Hyades」星團,正好是牛座「Taurus」的頭部,而更高處則易於辨認的緊湊「Pleiades」星團。此外,在畫面高處,你還會發現帶有綠色彗尾的「Comet Lovejoy」,成為這個一月夜晚的天文明星。
