A full dome and 360º Virtual Reality nightscape scene reveals a mosaic of single shots with a composite of 100 meteors star aligned captured in 4 consecutive nights during Perseids meteor shower 2023. The image shows the Radiant located in Perseus constellation, the single point in the sky where all meteors seems to appear due to the perspective. The background starry sky shows the path of Milky Way, as well as the Zodiacal light shining above Pleiades star cluster and against the bright light of planet Jupiter, while all the sky is fulfilled by meteors. The image was captured from Monte de Palaios, during our event at Dark Sky® Alqueva, in Portugal. For another rotated version, click here. Below you can experience a Virtual Reality 360º in 7K resolution using your desktop, or smartphone with gyroscope. A great “in loco” experience can be achieved if you wear a VR glasses.
PT: Um cenário All Sky e de Realidade Virtual 360º revela um mosaico de fotos individuais com uma composição de 100 meteoros alinhados cuidadosamente com as estrelas, captados ao longo de 4 noites consecutivas durante a chuva de meteoros Perseidas 2023. A composição mostra assim o Radiante localizado na constelação do Perseu, o ponto singular no céu de onde todos os meteoros aparentam radiar por uma questão de perspectiva. O céu estrelado em pano de fundo, mostra o caminho da Via Láctea bem como a luz zodiacal brilhando acima do aglomerado de estrelas das Pleiades e cruzando o caminho do planeta Júpiter, enquanto todo o céu é preenchido por meteoros.

The image is the result of a fair amount of work while star aligning and combining 8 folders of 300 GB from different cameras that I setup for 4 consecutive nights, during Perseids meteor shower 2023. I caught exactly 100 meteors in total from the brightest ones, to the faintest streaks. The composite shows the Radiant located in Perseus constellation, the single point in the sky where all meteors seems to appear due to the perspective. The background starry sky shows the path of Milky Way, as well as the Zodiacal light shining above Pleiades star cluster, while all the sky is fulfilled by meteors. The image was captured from Monte de Palaios, during our event at Dark Sky® Alqueva, in Portugal. I have more images to share with different projections, as well as a VR360 scene.

PT: A imagem é o resultado de muito trabalho e que envolveu o alinhamento de estrelas e combinação de 8 pastas de 300 GB, proveniente de diferentes câmaras que configurei para registarem o céu por 4 noites consecutivas, durante a chuva de meteoros Perseidas de 2023. Captei exactamente 100 meteoros no total, desde os mais brilhantes até aos mais ténues e subtis. A composição mostra assim o Radiante localizado na constelação do Perseu, o ponto singular no céu de onde todos os meteoros aparentam radiar devido por uma questão de perspectiva. O céu estrelado em pano de fundo, mostra o caminho da Via Láctea bem como a luz zodiacal brilhando acima do aglomerado de estrelas das Pleiades, enquanto todo o céu é preenchido por meteoros.

Behind the dusty heart of our spiral galaxy there is a giant but gentle black hole pulsating and vibrating to keep everything perfectly balanced in our island of stars named Milky Way, which I prefer to call, our cosmic Home. Taken from Dark Sky® Alqueva territory, in Portugal.

A imagem é o resultado de um disparo único em modo mosaico, captado numa das elegantes paisagens banhadas pelo Grande Lago Alqueva, a partir do território Dark Sky® Alqueva, em Portugal.

A panoramic scene shows a double night arch with the path of zodiacal light showing a gegenschein close to the zenith (letf top corner) and the faint winter Milky Way presence full of nebulae emission and lovely bright constellations, while an outsider visitor known as Comet ZTF was shining with a diffuse greenish glow above Alqueva lake, at Dark Sky® Alqueva territory, in Portugal. Close to the horizon and almost surrounding the entire scene, a light presence of a pale green airglow is also visible. For a Virtual Reality 360º experience go here.
PT: Um cenário panorâmico apresenta um duplo arco no céu nocturno com o caminho ténue da luz zodiacal exibindo um gegenschein ao centro, enquanto a Via Láctea de Inverno cheia de nebulosas de emissão e constelações brilhantes atravessa o céu de um horizonte ao outro. A imagem revela ainda um visitante longínquo apelidado de Cometa ZTF, brilhando em tons de verde difuso, é visível junto ao horizonte (à direita) acima do lago Alqueva, no território do Dark Sky® Alqueva, em Portugal. Perto do horizonte, ainda possível distinguir a leve presença do airglow – luminescência fotoquímica da atmosfera – perceptível como uma tonalidade esverdeada que envolve praticamente toda a imagem.

Feeling blessed to live so close to Dark Sky® Alqueva reserve where I can easily reach places like this, places that I love and where pristine skies are still possible to see. On this particular night taken during one of my workshops at the end of Summer, the airglow was visible and painted the background sky with greenish hues. In front of the airglow, a few high clouds announce the proximity of Winter, while Milky Way is straight up to the Zenith, the core is getting low and close to the horizon and in a few weeks no longer will be visible until next Summer. In the foreground, my silhouette as a stargazer stands at the side of a lonely wonderful tree which rises leafy before the majesty presence of our cosmic home.
PT: Sinto-me abençoada por viver tão perto do Dark Sky® Alqueva onde posso chegar facilmente a lugares como este, lugares que me apaixonam e onde ainda é possível disfrutar de um céu pristino. Nesta noite em particular, que decorreu durante um dos meus workshops no final do verão, o airglow era visível e pintava o céu de fundo com tons esverdeados. Diante do airglow, algumas nuvens altas anunciam a proximidade do Inverno, enquanto a Via Láctea sobe em direcção ao zénite, o núcleo vai ficando baixo e próximo ao horizonte e em algumas semanas não será mais visível até ao próximo Verão. Em primeiro plano, está a minha silhueta enquanto observador de estrelas, lado a lado com uma árvore solitária mas que se ergue frondosa diante a grandeza desta paisagem cósmica.

More than 12h distance from Tehran, capital of Iran, stands an impressive, magical and pristine place, called Lut Desert. Besides being beautiful and one of the hottest places on the Earth surface, it shows that the sky above us has no boundaries and must be preserved as a Human Heritage. This is probably one of the best skies I’ve been shooting so far around the world, a unique moment shared with new friends I met there. The image shows the core of Milky Way above a rocky formation. By accident, my friend Mauricio was visible in the field while controlling his camera in one of the time lapse shots I did. I think it end up with a perfect light and aligned with a scene don’t you think ?!
PT: A mais de 12h de distância de Teerão, capital do Irão, fica um lugar impressionante, mágico e intocado, chamado Deserto de Lut. Além de lindo e um dos lugares mais quentes da superfície terrestre com o record de 70º registado, mostra que o céu acima de nós não tem fronteiras e deve ser preservado como Património da Humanidade. Este é provavelmente um dos melhores céus que fotografei até hoje em todo o mundo, um momento único compartilhado com novos amigos que conheci lá. A imagem mostra o núcleo da Via Láctea acima de uma formação rochosa. Por acaso, meu amigo Mauricio estava visível no campo enquanto controlava sua câmara em uma das fotos da sequência time lapse que fiz. Felizmente penso que resultou numa luz perfeita e alinhada com o cenário em pano de fundo!

The arch of Milky Way shining bright above Lut Desert rocky formations in a panoramic image of single shots, taken in a pristine magical sky. Summer triangle dominates the center of the colorful nightscape scene showing that the Universe is anything but black. Kerman is the main city located at around 1h driving from Lut desert, while Tehran in Iran, stays at 12h distance. During our trip I only had one day to shoot the night sky so I tried to give my best to show the beauty of this place. Hope you like it!
PT: O arco da Via Láctea brilhando acima das formações rochosas do Deserto de Lut em uma imagem panorâmica de fotos individuais, tiradas em um céu mágico e pristino. O triângulo de verão domina o centro deste colorido cenário noturna mostrando que o Universo é tudo menos preto. Kerman é a principal cidade localizada a cerca de 1h de carro do deserto de Lut, enquanto Teerão, no Irão, fica a 12h de distância. Durante a nossa viagem só tive um dia para fotografar o céu nocturno por isso tentei dar o meu melhor para mostrar a beleza deste local singular. Espero que o leitor goste!

A panoramic image of single shots taken in a pristine magical sky, features the arch of Milky Way shining bright above Lut desert, in Kerman, Iran, few minutes before the nautical twilight starts. Faint path of cosmic dust from Zodiacal light was visible along the Ecliptic plane where planets Mars and Jupiter were shining in a very close conjunction, near the horizon. The background sky is also featuring a smooth greenish hue from airglow. Andromeda galaxy is the faint oblong shape visible above the rocky peaks on the left side, near the beginning of Milky Way.
PT: Uma imagem panorâmica composta por fotos individuais tiradas em um céu mágico e intocado, arevela o arco da Via Láctea brilhando acima do deserto Lut, em Kerman, Irão, poucos minutos antes do início do crepúsculo náutico. Um ténue caminho de poeira cósmica proveniente da luz zodiacal era visível ao longo do plano da Eclíptica, onde os planetas Marte e Júpiter brilhavam em uma conjunção muito próxima, perto do horizonte. O céu de fundo também apresenta um tom esverdeado suave pela presença do airglow. A galáxia de Andrómeda é a forma oblonga fraca visível acima dos picos rochosos no lado esquerdo, perto do início da Via Láctea.

A starry night scene captured at the end of Summer season from Natural Park of Noudar, in Dark Sky® Alqueva territory, shows a mosaic made of single shots with a galactic arch shinning above the Noudar quiet house and fields. The arch itself is featuring the core of “Summer Milky Way” which is gradually disappearing in the western horizon due to the time of the year, while in the opposite direction of the arch (left side), in the Eastern sky, the “Winter Milky Way” is start to appearing with Pleiades star cluster rising above the horizon. Summer Triangle is still highlighting the center of the image, with bluish star Vega near the top edge. Left center – in the beginning of the Milky Way faintest path – a bright elliptic and diffuse dot belongs to Andromeda Galaxy and below it, is also visible an even fainter light coming from Triangle galaxy. Lower center, close to the horizon and above the house roof, shows the bright light from planet Jupiter. The background sky is also featuring the greenish presence of airglow. Captured with a Sony A7sIII at ISO8000 Exp: 5 secs for each image of the mosaic with a G master lens 24mm f/1.4.
PT: Um cenário nocturno estrelado captado no final do Verão a partir do Parque de Natureza de Noudar, no território Dark Sky® Alqueva, mostra um mosaico de disparos únicos com o arco galáctico brilhando sobre a casa do Parque de Noudar. O próprio arco apresenta o núcleo da “Via Láctea de Verão” que parece desaparecer gradualmente no horizonte ocidental devido à época do ano, enquanto na direção oposta do arco (lado esquerdo), no céu oriental, a “ Via Láctea de Inverno” começa a aparecer com o aglomerado de estrelas Pleiades visível acima do horizonte. O Triângulo de Verão ainda se consegue destacar ao centro, com a estrela azulada Vega perto do limite superior da imagem. No centro esquerdo – no início do caminho mais fraco da Via Láctea – um ponto elíptico e difuso brilhante pertence à Galáxia de Andrómeda e abaixo desta, também se encontra visível uma luz ainda mais fraca provninente da galáxia do Triângulo. O centro inferior, próximo ao horizonte e acima do telhado da casa, mostra a luz brilhante do planeta Júpiter. O céu de fundo também revela a presença esverdeada do airglow – luminescência fotoquímica da atmosfera. Imagens captadas com uma Sony A7sIII a ISO8000 Exp: 5seg para cada imagem do mosaico objectiva G master 24mm f/1.4

Sometimes all you need is just…being under the stars to understand how big, we humans, can be. Big, by the simple fact that we can have a conscience of our limits when trying to “understand” a small fraction of what we are looking at. But our greatness rises, when we are able to recognise all the beauty immersed in each piece of Nature, in each corner of the Universe! Captured on my recent astro astro workshop at Dark Sky® Alqueva. My thanks to participants Daniela and Ana, which posed for me in this single shot.

Mas a nossa grandeza aumenta, quando somos capazes de reconhecer toda a Beleza presente em cada pedaço da Natureza, em cada canto do Universo! Captada recentemente durante o meu workshop de astrofotografia no Dark Sky® Alqueva. Os meus agradecimentos às participantes Daniela e Ana, que posaram para mim nesta foto de um disparo único.

The image reveals a panoramic scene of single shots where the arch of Summer Milky Way shines high and bright above the wonderful century old mine of São Domingos, in Achada do Gamo, Dark Sky® Alqueva – Mértola, Portugal. In the background, Summer Triangle highlights the center of the image, with blueish star Vega near the top. Left lower center – in the beginning of the Milky Way faintest path – a bright elliptic and diffuse dot is the light coming from Andromeda Galaxy. In the lower center and between the two strcutures are shining planets Jupiter and Mars, being Saturn visible as well, but more to the center right. On the right edge, shines the dusty core of Milky Way galaxy full of emission nebulae and close to Rho Ophiuchi clouds complex, an unusual bright orange glow belongs to an eclipsed super moon for being under the Earth shadow cone.

The brightest meteor I’ve ever captured in many years and probably the most prominent from Perseids meteor shower of 2021. Caught in a single frame crossing high in the sky between Deneb and Altair star from Summer Triangle. It was a fast and bright meteor featuring a very long tail of about 36º (measured from star Rho Cygni up to Alpha Sagittae), with a half-green and half-pink violet hue due to an elevated concentration of chemical elements like magnesium (green) and calcium (pink-violet), typical in meteors from Perseids. The tail ends up with a little explosion visible as a white bluish bright flash. As soon as we saw the meteor firing, I took another two shots up to the horizon- since my camera was pointing to the zenith – this time with my girlfriend framed on it while pointing high in the same region of the sky where the meteor has crossed. The final image is a vertical panorama of single shots taken at approximately the same time.
PT: O meteoro mais brilhante que já capturei em muitos anos e provavelmente o mais proeminente da chuva de meteoros Perseidas de 2021. Captado em um único disparo enquanto brilhava alto no céu entre a estrela Deneb e a estrela Altair do Triângulo de Verão. Foi um meteoro rápido e brilhante com uma cauda muito longa de cerca de 36º (medida da estrela Rho Cygni até Alpha Sagittae), com uma tonalidade violeta meio verde e meio rosa devido a uma concentração elevada de elementos químicos como o magnésio (verde ) e cálcio (rosa-violeta), típico em meteoros de Perseidas. A cauda termina com uma pequena explosão visível como um flash branco azulado brilhante. Assim que vimos o meteoro rompendo o céu com um flash brilhante, fiz mais duas fotos até ao horizonte – já que a minha câmara apontava para o zénite – desta vez com a silhueta da minha cara metade presente na imagem, enquanto apontava para o alto na mesma região do céu onde o meteoro caiu. A imagem final é um panorama vertical de fotos captadas aproximadamente ao mesmo tempo.

A night scene from Dark Sky® Vale do Tua territory, shows the dark silhouette of a tree against the faint path of winter Milky Way few minutes before making an occultation of bluish star Sirius while crossing behind the dark branches. Colourful and bright stars from well known winter constellations like Orion, Gemini, or Canis Major, are spread in the starry background. Reddish pink hues from Hydrogen-alpha emission nebulae, are painting the dark sky easily revealing deepsky objects like Rosette Nebula or Barnards loop.
PT: Um cenário nocturno captado no território do Dark Sky® Vale do Tua, mostra a silhueta escura de uma árvore contra o ténue caminho da Via Láctea de Inverno, alguns minutos antes desta fazer uma ocultação da estrela azulada Sirius, enquanto esta transitava por detrás dos seus ramos. Estrelas coloridas e brilhantes de constelações de Inverno bem conhecidas como Orion, Gémeos ou o Cão Maior, espalham-se num pano de fundo estrelado. Tons de rosa avermelhado pertencem às nebulosas de emissão de hidrogénio-alfa, que pintam assim o céu escuro revelando facilmente objetos do céu profundo como a Nebulosa da Roseta ou o loop de Barnard.

Infinity Zoom, is a serie of short 4K videos where we will fly through my deep space images, starting with a wide view somewhere in one of the darkest landscape places I’ve had opportunity to visit and photograph through my journey in the world with astrophotography, up to a close intimate view where we dive deep into the core of some wonderful deep sky objects captured with a telescopic view from my observatory located in Dark Sky® Alqueva region, Portugal. To watch with sound on.
In this second episode of Infinity Zoom, we departure from Atacama Desert, and dive deep into the core of Blue Horsehead Nebula. During the short voyage of about 400 light-years to reach the Blue Horsehead we will fly close to Rho Ophiuchi colorful cloud complex, lying almost at the same distant, both are located in same naked-eye region of the sky, towards the constellation of the Ophiuchus. The Cloud Complex, is one of the most colourful nebulas in space and the closest star-forming regions to the Solar System. These interstellar clouds of gas and dust contain both red emission nebulas and blue reflection nebulas. The dark brown regions are caused by dust grains, born in young stellar atmospheres, which effectively block light emitted behind them. Our final deep dive reveals the wonderful nebula IC4592, better known by it’s well distinguished shape of a Blue Horse Head. The blue reflection nebula is made up of very fine interstellar dust particles that reflects the visible light of energetic nearby stars, as Nu Scorpii, the bright blueish star which marks the eye of the Horse. Immersed in the brownish dust, is visible a second reflection nebula named IC 4601 surrounding two stars. The animation has been created using my real images, a total of 4 photographs captured at different focal distances from a wide angle landscape lens up to a telescopic view, for the final approach.
PT: Infinity Zoom, é uma série de pequenos videos em 4K onde vamos voar pelas minhas imagens do espaço profundo, começando com uma visão ampla a partir de uma das paisagens escuras que tive a oportunidade de visitar e fotografar ao longo das minhas viagens pelo mundo com a astrofotografia, até uma visão mais íntima onde mergulharemos profundamente no coração de alguns objectos de céu profundo fascinantes, captados com um telescópio a partir do meu observatório localizado na região do Dark Sky® Alqueva, Portugal. Para ver com o som ligado.
Neste segundo episódio do Infinity Zoom, partimos do Deserto do Atacama e mergulhamos profundamente no núcleo da Nebulosa Cabeça do Cavalo Azul. Durante a curta viagem de 400 anos-luz para chegar à Cabeça do Cavalo Azul, voaremos perto do complexo de nuvens coloridas Rho Ophiuchi, quase à mesma distância, ambos estão localizados na mesma região do céu a olho nu, em direção à constelação do Ophiuchus. Este é talvez o complexo nebuloso mais coloridos do espaço e uma das regiões de formações de estrelas mais próximas ao sistema solar. Estas nuvens inter-estelares de gás e poeiras contêm nebulosas de emissão (vermelhas) e nebulosas de reflexão (azul). As regiões a castanho escuro são causadas por grãos de poeira, nascidos em atmosferas estelares jovens, que efetivamente bloqueiam a luz emitida por detrás delas. O nosso mergulho profundo final revela a incrível nebulosa IC4592, mais conhecida pela sua forma distinta de uma Cabeça de Cavalo Azul. A nebulosa de reflexão azul é composta por partículas de poeira interestelar muito finas que refletem a luz visível de estrelas energéticas próximas, como Nu Scorpii, a estrela azul brilhante que marca o olho do Cavalo. Imerso na poeira acastanhada, é visível uma segunda nebulosa de reflexão chamada IC 4601 em torno de duas estrelas. A animação foi criada usando imagens reais da minha autoria, num total de 4 fotografias captadas com diferentes distâncias focais desde uma lente grande angular de paisagem até uma visão telescópica, para a aproximação final.

The image show a vertical panorama of the Milky Way as seen at the end of summer from inside the medieval castle of Juromenha in Dark Sky® Alqueva certified territory, in Portugal. The occupation of its site dates back to the Gallo-Celts and the Romans. Later occupied during the Muslim invasion of the Iberian Peninsula, at the time of the Christian Reconquest of the peninsula it remained for two centuries as a defence outpost of the important city of Badajoz, since the 10th century in the hands of the Caliphate of Cordoba. The village and medieval castle, were then conquered in 1167 by the troops of Portuguese King Afonso Henriques (1112-1185).

The image shows the Arch of Milky Way rising during my annual astrophotography workshop held in May. The group of busy photographers are enjoying the wonders of the sky in the Northern Hemisphere while shooting at the same time, in Dark Sky® Alqueva Reserve, Portugal. Summer Triangle, an asterism composed by the stars Vega (from Lyra constellation), Deneb (from Cygnus), and Altair (from Aquila), are visible relatively low and close to the left center of this panoramic scene. Below Deneb, a bright red emission nebula known as North America, is visible in violet hues, while in the opposite direction of the sky, the core of Milky Way galaxy is featuring many more red emission nebulae coming from deep sky objects like Lagoon, Trifid or Eagle nebula. In the foreground, the calm water of Alqueva lake works as a perfect mirror, reflecting the bright colors of the stars and the dusty center of the galaxy.
PT: A imagem mostra o Arco da Via Láctea enquanto nasce e se torna visível durante o mês de Maio, durante o meu workshop anual de astrofotografia no Alqueva. O grupo de fotógrafos atarefados por entre as luzes das câmaras e dos leds vermelhos, aprecia as maravilhas do céu acima da Reserva Dark Sky® Alqueva. O Triângulo de Verão, um asterismo composto pelas estrelas Vega (da constelação Lyra), Deneb (constelação Cygnus) e Altair (constelação Aquila), é visível relativamente baixo e próximo ao centro esquerdo desta cena panorâmica. Abaixo de Deneb, uma nebulosa de emissão vermelha brilhante conhecida como Nebulosa América do Norte, é visível em tons de violeta, enquanto na direção oposta do céu, o núcleo da Via Láctea revela muitas mais nebulosas de emissão vermelhas provenientes de objetos do céu profundo como a Lagoa, a Trífide ou Nebulosa da Águia. Em primeiro plano, as águas calmas da Grande Lago Alqueva funcionam como um espelho perfeito, reflectindo as cores brilhantes e vibrantes das estrelas e do centro empoeirado da galáxia.

May is the best month to start enjoying wonderful views of the Milky Way galaxy in the Northern Hemisphere. For being low and close to the horizon, is perfect for a nice framing with landscape. This panoramic shot comprises 8 single images of 1 minute exposure, tracked with the new Polarie U star tracker, taken with a 48mm lens at f2.8. The deep nightscape view captured recently above Dark Sky® Alqueva lake, shows the core of our galaxy full of known deep sky objects, like emission, reflection and dark nebulae, as well as some star clusters. The stars from Sagittarius and Scorpius constellations are shining so bright and colorful. Thanks to a fog filter used in front of the lens, it could help reveal better their colors temperatures. Below, an annotated version highlights all the summer wonders of deep sky that can be spotted in the image, as well as the galactic center.
PT: Maio é o melhor mês para começar a desfrutar das maravilhosas vistas da Via Láctea no Hemisfério Norte. Por se encontrar baixa e próxima ao horizonte, é o momento perfeito para um bom enquadramento com a paisagem. Esta foto panorâmica compreende 8 imagens únicas de 1 minuto de exposição com seguimento sideral, através da nova montagem portátil da Vixen, a Polarie U. As imagens foram captadas com uma lente de 48 mm a f2.8. Esta visão de paisagem noturna profunda, captada recentemente acima do lago Alqueva, no Dark Sky® Alqueva, mostra o núcleo da nossa galáxia repleto de objetos do céu profundo conhecidos, como nebulosas de emissão, reflexão e nebulosas escuras, bem como alguns aglomerados de estrelas. As estrelas das constelações de Sagitário e Escorpião, destacam-se assim graças ao seu brilho intenso e colorido. Para tal, foi usado um fog filter na frente da objectiva, para ajudar a destacar a temperatura de cor de cada estrela. Em baixo, uma versão anotada revela todas as maravilhas do céu mais profundo de verão que se destacam na imagem, bem como o centro galáctico da Via Láctea.

An all sky view and 360º Virtual Reality scene, features the path of Milky Way with its core shining high in the sky of Atacama Desert. This full dome mosaic comprises 27 still images photographed from Ojos Del Salar, two small lagoons standing close each other forming like a pair of eyes point high up. Located in the middle of nowhere, in Atacama Desert, they can be found almost 30km from San Pedro de Atacama, in the northern part of Chile. The rocky desert of Atacama, sometimes reminds me of the reddish martian soil. On July, in the Southern Hemisphere the core of Milky Way galaxy stands very high in the sky, touching the Zenith this time of the year. The center of the image features the dusty core of the galaxy, with a special guest visible, planet Jupiter is also there, shinning very close to Rho Ophiuchi colorful cloud complex. In the opposite direction, the faint band from Zodiacal light in crossing the entire half of the scene. In this full dome view, the small lagoon is visible in the right side of the celestial sphere, full of reflected stars, stands up in the scene like the shape of a crescent Moon. After the iconic unusual portrait showing what could be a big “Martian Eye” looking deep to our Milky Way Galaxy, published as APOD on April 2020, I decided to create a Virtual Reality 360º image of this same scene, which you can experience in full resolution using your desktop, or smartphone with gyroscope. A great “in loco” experience can be achieved if you wear a VR glasses.
PT: Um cenário All Sky e de Realidade Virtual 360º, apresenta o caminho da Via Láctea com o seu núcleo brilhando alto no céu do Deserto do Atacama. Este mosaico circular completo este mosaico compreende 27 imagens estáticas fotografadas a partir dos Ojos Del Salar, duas pequenas lagoas próximas uma da outra, formando como que um par de olhos apontados para o alto, algures em pleno deserto de Atacama, a cerca de 30 km de San Pedro de Atacama, na região norte do Chile. O deserto rochoso e avermelhado do Atacama, por vezes relembra-me o solo marciano. Em julho, no Hemisfério Sul, o núcleo da Via Láctea encontra-se muito alto no céu, tocando o Zénite nesta época do ano. O centro da imagem mostra o núcleo empoeirado da galáxia, com um convidado especial visível, o planeta Júpiter também lá está, brilhando muito perto do complexo de nuvens coloridas de Rho Ophiuchi. Na direção oposta, a faixa tênue da luz zodiacal atravessa toda a metade esquerda do céu. Nesta visão “fulldome”, a pequena lagoa é visível no lado direito da esfera celeste, cheia de estrelas refletidas, revela a forma de uma lua crescente. Depois do icônico retrato incomum que mostra o que poderia ser um grande “olho marciano” olhando profundamente para nossa Via Láctea, publicado como APOD em Abril de 2020, decidi criar uma realidade virtual 360º dessa mesma imagem, que o leitor pode experimentar em resolução total usando o seu desktop ou smartphone com giroscópio. Uma ótima experiência “in loco” pode ser alcançada se usar óculos de realidade virtual.

This single shot features a stargazer enjoying Andromeda galaxy, possible to se with the naked-eye from the newest territory of Dark Sky® Vale do Tua, in northern part of Portugal – a new certified Starlight Tourist Destination. Being one of the best spots to enjoy archeoastronomy, in the foreground we can see the silhouette from Forca do Freixiel, an ancient gallows from Middle Ages. The monument is believed to be unique in the Iberian Peninsula. It is formed by of 2 vertical granite pillars that supported a horizontal beam – which no longer exists – where was placed the noose. In this type of gallows, the condemned did not die by strangulation due to suspension, but by a garrote, being later on display in the gallows. The image pretends to show the contrasting reality between the morbid meaning from acts of ancient times, with our responsibility of respecting the history but evolving as better human beings while living in such a beautiful planet, we need an effort to keep preserving the beauty of the night sky. In the background, featuring the Andromeda in the middle of the scene, at left side, the orange planet Mars can be seen setting near the mountains while in the opposite direction, is visible the path of winter Milky Way against a starry sky in the presence of smooth greenish airglow.
PT: Num disparo único a imagem mostra um observador de estrelas apreciando a galáxia de Andrómeda, possível de observar a olho nu no Dark Sky® Vale do Tua, no norte de Portugal – é o mais recente destino turístico Starlight certificado. Sendo um dos melhores locais para desfrutar da arqueoastronomia, em primeiro plano, avista-se a silhueta da Forca do Freixiel, uma forca milenar da Idade Média. O monumento é considerado único na Península Ibérica. É formada por 2 pilares verticais de granito que suportavam uma viga horizontal – que já não existe – onde foi colocado o laço. Neste tipo de forca, o condenado não morria por estrangulamento por suspensão, mas por garrote, sendo posteriormente exposto na forca. A imagem pretende mostrar a realidade contrastante entre o sentido mórbido de actos da antiguidade, com a nossa responsabilidade actual em respeitar a história, mas simultaneamente evoluir como seres humanos melhores, enquanto habitantes de um planeta único, precisamos de um esforço e empenho contínuo para preservar a beleza do céu noturno. Em pano de fundo é possível ver a galáxia de Andrómeda no centro do enquadramento e à esquerda, o planeta Marte. Com a sua tonalidade alaranjada, prepara-se para desaparecer por detrás das montanhas, enquanto na direção oposta, é visível o caminho da Via Láctea de inverno contra um céu estrelado na presença de suave de airglow esverdeado.

Even in a remote desert we can find beautiful lonely trees like this one, which stands close to the outstanding presence of Milky Way as seen from San Pedro de Atacama, in Chile. This vertical panorama of single 15 sec exposures, shows that in the darkest places on Earth, free from light pollution, the pristine presence of Milky Way can reach a level of brightness enough to project the smooth shadow of the tree on the ground, really impressive to notice! The background horizon where the Milky Way rises behind the lowest tree branch, left edge, is visible the silhouette from one the highest stratovolcanos in the world, Licancabur, located near the border with Bolivia, has 5916 meters.
PT: Mesmo num deserto remoto podemos encontrar belas árvores solitárias como esta, que se destaca diante da presença marcante da Via Láctea vista a partir de San Pedro de Atacama, no Chile. Este panorama vertical de disparos únicos de 15 segundos de exposição, mostra que nos lugares mais escuros da Terra, livres de poluição luminosa, a presença pristina da Via Láctea pode atingir um nível de brilho suficiente para projetar a sombra suave de uma árvore no solo! No horizonte de fundo onde a Via Láctea surge atrás do galho mais baixo da árvore, no limite esquerdo, é visível a silhueta de um dos estratovulcões mais altos do mundo, Licancabur, localizado próximo à fronteira com a Bolívia, tem 5916 metros.

Captured on a steppe field from the wonderful region of Mértola in Dark Sky® Alqueva, and featured in a panoramic view as NASA’s APOD – Astronomy Picture of the Day, an all sky and 360º Virtual Reality scene, features the arch of Milky Way shining high in the Sky. Summer Triangle highlights the center of the image, with blueish Vega near the top. At the upper half right side – in the beginning of the Milky Way – a bright elliptic and diffuse dot is the light coming from Andromeda Galaxy. The greenish horizon is surrounded and involved in airglow and some thin high clouds. Located at one o´clock shines an orange dot, it’s not a star, but the close planet Mars in opposition. In the opposite horizon of this large circular field – left upper edge of the all sky scene – lies planets Saturn and Jupiter against the dusty core of our Milky Way Galaxy. Below is available a Virtual Reality 360º image, which you can experience in full resolution using your desktop, or smartphone with gyroscope. A great “in loco” experience can be achieved if you wear a VR glasses.

O Triângulo do verão destaca-se no centro da imagem, com a estrela azulada Vega, a brilhar próximo do centro. Na metade superior direita – no início da Via Láctea – um ponto elíptico e difuso, pertence à luz da Galáxia vizinha de Andrómeda. O horizonte esverdeado está envolvido pela presença de Air Glow – luminescência fotoquímica da atmosfera – e algumas nuvens altas finas. Localizado à uma hora da tarde (imaginando-se um relógio circular) brilha um ponto laranja, não é uma estrela, mas sim o planeta Marte em Oposição. No horizonte oposto deste grande campo circular – no extremo superior esquerdo do All Sky – encontram-se os planetas Saturno e Júpiter contra o núcleo empoeirado da nossa Via Láctea. Abaixo está disponível uma imagem de Realidade Virtual 360º, que o leitor pode experienciar em alta-resolução usando o seu desktop ou smartphone com giroscópio.
