[The Way of Red Pulse] The road of interstellar crossing in Tibet is unforgettable in this life!

"Each atom in our body comes from an explosive star. The atoms that form your left hand and the atoms that form your right hand may come from different stars. This is what we know about the most poetic thing about the universe- - We are all stars. "This is what American physicist Lawrence Claus says. Why look up at the starry sky? Some people say that the stars are the diamonds of the poor, and some people say that watching the starry sky will make their mental emotions in a state of detachment. Some people say that they will be lucky and surprised when they see the meteor. The brilliant constellation will feel beautiful in instinct. And I think -when we see those shiny stars in the night sky, we know where we come from.

The extreme temptation of the full sky and stars

The most extreme stargazing experience in this life is in Ali, Tibet. In August 2014, during the walking on the Oka Rinpoche, I waited for the "Galaxy Arch" on the top of the snowy mountain on the heat of thermal Temple; in September 2015, in the journey of riding the Ali North Line, I was on the Qiangbei Line. What is the "water wave starry sky" in the hinterland of the pond; in August 2018, once again riding the Ali mid -line, my companion and I camped the wilderness under the stars of the sky; You can clearly see Comet Neo Wise on the road of the suburbs -that is also the first time in this life to observe the comet with the naked eye; in August 2021, in Tarqin, waiting for a Yingxian meteor shower, the dozens of the dozens of the heavens who traded the sky A fire star cheered and praised; in June 2022, followed by the "Red Pulse · Great Powder G219 Red Seal Exploration Line" jointly sponsored by the Tourism Development Department of the Tibet Autonomous Region and the District Party Committee Network Information Office, once again at the Observatory of Ali Dark Night Park Park Observatory Observatory Feel the extreme temptation of the stars.

Chile's Atacama Desert has been filmed by the BBC documentary as a starry sky. In contrast, Ali's Ali Starry Sky is overwhelming. As a photographer who shoots the starry sky all over the world, I am often asked by everyone. One question is: Where do you think the starry sky is the most beautiful? My answer has always been -Ali, Tibet, China. This is not a subjective emotional answer, but a very rational and objective conclusion, because the most magnificent starry sky must appear in the weakest light pollution, the thinnest and most transparent air, only to meet these two conditions, those who meet these two conditions, those who meet these two conditions. The distant stars can avoid attenuation to the greatest extent, and finally complete the sensation on our retina.

The higher the altitude, the thinner the air, the weaker the scattering absorption and blocking effect of the atmosphere. The average altitude of 4,500 meters above sea level in the Ali region of Tibet is not comparable to other places. There is no light pollution, coupled with the Himalaya mountains blocking the water and gas in the Indian Ocean, the dry climate environment of the Ali region determines that it has more clear and cloudy night sky ... such stargazing conditions are also preferred in the world.

"Swan" of Galaxy Yinxin

When hiking in Gang Rinpoche in 2014, he lived in the Refesting Temple at night. The south was Okinho Qi, climbing on a hillside, and stayed away from some very weak resident tent camps. The Galaxy arch "" can almost illuminate the snowy mountains, and the Gang Rinpoche, which is known as the center of the world, stands in the center of the galaxy, a very shocking picture. At that time, the camera was not as good as the ISO performance now, and it could only be opened to around 1600 to 2000. Even so, the 2.8 aperture, the shutter of 25 seconds, was enough to shoot the dazzling galaxy. The picture will be much bleak by shooting on the starry sky.

In 2015 and 2018, cycling and crossing the Ali North Line and Ali Middle Line again. In the wilderness in the uninhabited area, the starry sky has become the only light source except for our camping lights. There is no signal and no electricity night. Become the best way to pass the long night. At night, the Galaxy of the summer night has long been waiting for a long time. The horizon at the end of the wilderness is that thousands of visible stars convergence became burning. From then on, I have followed Starwalk2 to identify those conspicuous stars and constellations, such as Xin Su 2, Weaver Actress, Tianjin Si ... Bow -shaped swan -shaped swan, spoon -shaped big cooler, teapot -shaped orou ... know one more to know one more A star, just know the universe.

My favorite is the swan seat that runs through Galaxy Yinxin. It is also the most eye -catching constellation of the night sky in the summer and autumn in the summer and autumn in my mind. The bright Tianjin Four is easy to identify. It is the tail of the "swan". It constitutes the summer triangle. Every time I see the Galaxy, I always find the swan seat for the first time, imagining how long it has flying on the Milky Way.

Although this is what it seems to be "useless", in the eyes of all people who love the universe, this is the ultimate romance of human beings. It is also the start of the starry sky when Ali, Tibet, at that time. It is not a rare thing. Any clear night sky, as long as you are willing to lie down and watch the vast sky, you will see a meteor in 5 to 10 minutes on average. If you catch up with the meteor rain, it will be much shocking ... In August 2021, the annual Yingxian meteor shower arrived at the same year. At that time, I was on the journey of the Ali Ring Road, and I lived in Tal, who lived in the feet of Gang Rinpoche. Qin.

It is particularly suitable for observing meteor shower. From the hotel in Talqin 300 meters away, when you come to the fields outside the village, there are almost no light pollution disturbances, a camping chair, plus a tripod to let the camera record the delay of the delay of the star movement of the star movement. , Use the eyes to capture the brilliant strokes of the meteor, let go of the brain, and let the thoughts float into the night of the Ali Wilderness, with emotion: "In the infinite universe, all life is just fleeting, with those stars, planets, galaxies, galaxies, galaxies, The same, it is time to rush from orderly to chaotic universe journey, but this does not mean that life is insignificant. It is because of our awakening that there is a exploration of the universe. To some extent, to some extent, Life is the process of cognitive self in the universe. "In a lifetime, a glimpse of shock

Starting at more than 2 am, the meteor rain gradually enters the explosion period. You can see two or three meteors in almost every minute. You can see a bright fire meteor every 5 minutes. I don't know where it will suddenly flash, and where it will quietly go away. The charm of the meteor lies in unexpectedly, and suddenly it lights up the spark in my heart. Meteor rain can be said to be a gift brought by the comet to the earth. Perhaps God has known that human beings have long known that human beings are greedy for celestial stars, so the wreckage of comets on the orbit where the earth is moving. It will pour a meteor shower. When the meteor shower broke out, the brightest star in the night sky was no longer Venus, but the fire meteor that was over 100,000 kilometers over 100,000 kilometers.

When it comes to meteor shower, we should also thank comets, because it is these comet wreckage that become tiny meteorites under the influence of the gravity of the earth, falling into the atmosphere, rubbing violently, and generating the fire. The comets we are familiar with the earth will only visit the earth every 76 years. The next time it will return to 2061, it is still far away. Most comets have a long revolution cycle, and there are not many visible to the naked eye. Therefore, compared to any moonless night sky, we can see meteors. It is a very, very, very, a person who can see the comet in the naked eye of the naked eye in a lifetime. Fortunately. And our generation is very lucky, because in 2020, Neowise's new wise comet visited the earth and reached the brightest in mid -July. It was the brightest comet we saw in the naked eye after the Comet of Haier Pop in 1997.

At this time in 2020, I just walked through the Ali Grand Ring on the way to driving in China with my father. On the day of the Shiquan River, we drove to the west township road in Shiquan River Town. The galaxy came into view, making me feel that Ali's starry sky is really unparalleled. When we looked up at the "Galaxy Arch", Yu Guang glanced at the figure of about 25 degrees on the horizon of the western horizon. As conspicuous as a meteor, but it is extremely elegant. And you know, whether it is planet, star, meteor, even if it is on, it is just a point, but the comet is different. The comet and the moon, the big wheat Zhelun Nebula, and the M31 fairies galaxy have a certain area in the night sky, or Said, it has its shape.

Although I did n’t take particularly amazing photos, as far as the sense of the naked eye, we were lucky than most people on the earth, because the high air in the high altitude air in Ali, Tibet, the new wise comet we saw must be the most. Light. Comet is different from the meteor. Meteor is the fleeting wonderful. Comet is gorgeous. Even if it gradually leaves, it will agree with the earth. After many years. After a lifetime, Jinghong glanced, was very lucky.

This year was June 2022, and came to Ali again. When the night is completely shrouded in the earth, he meets with the stars of the sky, because I know that the starry sky here is more dazzling than anywhere on the earth.

TIPS:

Plateau star shooting:

The shot of the starry sky is relatively bitter. Our body must adapt to the plateau with an altitude of 4000-5000 ⽶, and the effects of ⾯ on the low temperature of low ⾄ 零 零 零 ⾼ ⾼, as well as the influence of ⼤⻛ ⼤⻛ ⽓. But Ali's starry sky is indeed very spectacular, which can be called the world's most beautiful star shooting place. Shooting the starry sky in Aya, try to choose the place where the steam can arrive, and reduce the test of the body. During shooting, you need to bring more pupae, especially the heating items such as the hat, the cricket, and the pill boots; when shooting, the parameter settings can be as high as the high ISO and long exposure.
