矫情的反义词(2022·辽宁省县级重点高中协作体高三一模)
Mounting a telescope on the balcony at home, Wang Zhipu, a 16-year-old boy from Fujia
n Province, obrves the skies, takes photos and begins his voyage into space after class.Recently, his efforts were rewarded when he won the title of “Young Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2021” in the Royal Obrvatory Greenwichʼs annual astrophotography contest.His winning entry, entitled Family Photo of the Solar System, shows ven of the eight planets lined up horizontally, with the sun on the left and moon on the right, both pictured larger in size than normal.
“All families are unconventional, so I adored this fresh, gently playful concept around the solar system，” said the competition judge Sue Prichard while talking about Wangʼs picture.“A meaningful technically accomplished work from a rising star of astronomical photography.”
It hasnʼt been easy taking pictures of outer space.For about half a year, Wang had to calculate the best time to shoot planets when theyʼre opposite the sun in Earthʼs sky to get the brightest images.Whatʼs more, he still needed to wait for clear weather to e better.For example, to capture a clear picture of Mercury, the planet clost to the sun, w
hich is often cited as the most difficult of the five brightest planets to e with the naked eye, Wang tried to shoot it three times in the early morning but failed.At sunt, he shot 10, 000 frames of video and lected veral thousand better frames to overlay, further refine them and form a more satisfactory picture.
