華麗對數(shù)圖像 把浩瀚宇宙放進小小顯示屏

Our sun and solar system are pictured at thecenter of this gorgeous logarithmic illustration.

在這張華麗的對數(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.

藝術家巴勃羅·卡洛斯·布達西把美國宇航局拍攝的照片和原始草圖相結合，利用普林斯頓的科學家創(chuàng)制的對數(shù)圖和Photoshop圖片處理技術，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.

布達西說，他在給兒子生日制作六角多面體的時候想到了以對數(shù)的視角來制作這一復雜圖像。

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.

對于把大塊區(qū)域視覺化，對數(shù)地圖大有幫助，因為地圖的比例尺會隨遠離中心而縮小。
