NASA – JPL Solar System Simulator

NASA – JPL 太陽系模擬程式,輸入時間與就可以看到從任意星球看到另一個天體的模擬影像。

上面是我幾年前翻譯的網頁,自己推薦 😛 (原來的在這裡:NASA – JPL Solar System Simulator)。

這個漂亮的程式有一些技術上的限制,像是行星的外觀或是日食的模擬等等;詳細請看FAQ,我應該沒有力氣翻譯XD。

Another translation from me. NASA – JPL Solar System Simulator in Chinese (Taiwan). I did it years ago.

With proper settings, Images can be breath-taking. Try it yourself.

Messier 101

Messier 101

這是用鹿林天文台 LOT 拍的,再用 MaxIm DL 4 做 RVB三色合成。

原本選的target是NGC4561啦,不過它太小了… 可見我們有多麼不專業:-p;因為我也只會做Dark、Bias、Flat、Bloom,沒有移除的宇宙射線的痕跡所以還是有雜點。

沒有發揮1M望遠鏡的威力orz。LOT可是台灣最大的望遠鏡耶。

This image was taken using Lu-Lin LOT, then combine colours (R-V-B) with MaxIm DL 4.

My target was NGC5461, but turnout it was too small. Also being a new student on telescopes, I couldn’t remove bright dots cause by cosmic ray.

LOT is the biggest telescope in Taiwan.

How can the human race survive the next hundred years?

Dr. Stephen Hawking asked a question on Yahoo Answers. His question was How can the human race survive the next hundred years?

I don’t have an answer though. Maybe he had figure out something as powerful as nuclear fission but wavering that humankind should know it.

史蒂芬‧霍金博士(Dr. Stephen Hawking)在Yahoo Answers(算是美國版的奇摩知識+)問了一個問題:「人類要如何繼續生存一百年?」。

我沒有答案。說不定他問這個問題是因為他想到某個重要的理論(像上個世紀初的核分裂),但是不知道人類該不該知道這件事情。
