在這張華麗的對(duì)數(shù)圖像中心部位,捕捉到的是我們的太陽和太陽系。
Using Photoshop andlogarithmic maps created byscientists at Princeton, artist and musician PabloCarlos Budassi combined images from NASA withoriginal sketches to create this stunningillustration that captures the unimaginably vastobservable universe.
藝術(shù)家巴勃羅·卡洛斯·布達(dá)西把美國宇航局拍攝的照片和原始草圖相結(jié)合,利用普林斯頓的科學(xué)家創(chuàng)制的對(duì)數(shù)圖和Photoshop圖片處理技術(shù),創(chuàng)造了這幅美麗震撼的圖像,把無邊之大的宇宙都納入了有限的視野里。
Our sun and solar system are at the center of the gorgeous disc of color. Encircling them arethe inner and outer planets; the Kuiper belt; Oort cloud; Alpha Centauri star; Perseus Arm;Milky Way galaxy; other nearby galaxies including theAndromeda galaxy; the cosmic web;cosmic microwave radiation; and, at the very edges of the image, quark-gluon plasmaproduced by the Big Bang.
華麗的色盤中心是我們的太陽和太陽系。環(huán)繞著的是內(nèi)外環(huán)行星、柯伊伯帶、奧爾特云、半人馬座阿爾法星系、英仙座星系、銀河系,其它附近星系包括有仙女座星系,還有宇宙網(wǎng)、宇宙微波輻射,以及最邊緣大爆炸產(chǎn)生的夸克膠子等離子體。
Budassi said that he got the idea of a logarithmic view to create the complex image whilecreating hexaflaxagons for his son’s birthday.
布達(dá)西說,他在給兒子生日制作六角多面體的時(shí)候想到了以對(duì)數(shù)的視角來制作這一復(fù)雜圖像。
Logarithmic maps are very helpful in the visualization of very large areas as the scale of themap decreases as you move outwards from the center.
對(duì)于把大塊區(qū)域視覺化,對(duì)數(shù)地圖大有幫助,因?yàn)榈貓D的比例尺會(huì)隨遠(yuǎn)離中心而縮小。
