原文:
Stars come out as evening twilight fades in this serene skyscape following the Persian proverb “Night hides the world, but reveals a universe.” The scene finds the Sun setting over northern Kenya and the night will soon hide the shores of Lake Turkana, home to many Nile crocodiles. The region is also known for its abundance of hominid fossils. On that past November night, a brilliant Venus, then the world’s evening star, dominates the starry skies above. But also revealed are faint stars, cosmic dust clouds, and glowing nebulae along the graceful arc of our own Milky Way galaxy.
中文翻譯:
在這個寧靜的天空中,星星隨著黃昏的消褪而漸漸顯現,這正好呼應了波斯諺語「夜藏世間,但揭示宇宙」。這幅畫面描繪了肯尼亞北部的夕陽即將落下,夜晚很快將會掩蓋湖特卡納(Lake Turkana)岸邊,這裡是許多尼羅鱷的家園,並以其豐富的人類古生物化石而聞名。在那個十一月的夜晚,燦爛的金星(Venus),即世界的黃昏之星,主宰著星空。然而,也隨著夜幕的降臨而浮現出微弱的星星、宇宙塵雲,以及我們自己的銀河系中散發著光芒的星雲。
