[漢羅] Maldive 之夜 ê 寶石

銀河上南彼搭毋若有南十字，閣有離咱太陽上近 ê 恆星系統：半人馬座 α 星。 南十字 上面頂彼粒是足光 ê 黃色恆星：南十字座 γ 星。 Ùi 十字架 ê 南十字座 γ 星 畫一條線到 下底 ê 藍色恆星，十字架二，會指向 南天極。 拄仔好是 3 月翕 ê 這張相片 內底，小島 ê 頭殼頂遐。 彼个島嶼 to̍h 是 tī 印度洋 ê Maldives 共和國 ê Madivaru 島。 Kah 暗淡 ê 銀河光 相比，烏烏 ê 烏碳橐仔星雲 to̍h tī 十字架 ê 倒爿。 Tī 銀河 較倚倒爿遐，有兩粒較光 ê 恆星：半人馬座 α 星（倒爿彼粒）kah 半人馬座 β 星（嘛叫做 Hadar）。 半人馬座 α 星 A 是 kah 太陽 相-siâng ê 恆星。 伊是三星系統 ê 其中一粒，這个三星系統閣有 kah 行星系統 (系外行星)，離咱干焦 4.3 光年 遠爾爾。 若是 ùi 半人馬座 α 星 來看，咱 ê 太陽 應該是一粒 tī 明顯 ê 仙后座 內底 足光 ê 黃色恆星。

[English] Gems of a Maldivean Night

The southernmost part of the Milky Way contains not only the stars of the Southern Cross, but the closest star system to our Sun – Alpha Centauri. The Southern Cross itself is topped by the bright, yellowish star Gamma Crucis. A line from Gamma Crucis through the blue star at the bottom of the cross, Acrux, points toward the south celestial pole, located just above the small island in the featured picture – taken in early March. That island is Madivaru of the Maldives in the Indian Ocean. Against faint Milky Way starlight, the dark Coal Sack Nebula lies just left of the cross, while farther left along the Milky Way are the bright stars Alpha Centauri (left) and Beta Centauri (Hadar). Alpha Centauri A, a Sun-like star anchoring a three-star system with exoplanets, is a mere 4.3 light-years distant. Seen from Alpha Centauri, our own Sun would be a bright yellowish star in the otherwise recognizable constellation Cassiopeia.
