這顆火球流星色彩斑斕、明亮耀眼,是 2020 年在紫金山天文臺盱眙站拍攝到的,當時正值地球一年一度的英仙座流星雨。前景中的穹頂是中國最大的多功能施密特望遠鏡--中國近地天體巡天望遠鏡(CNEOST)。該觀測站位於江蘇省盱眙縣, 2006 年作為中國紫金山天文臺的延伸開始執行。 2023 年 1 月 9 日,在紫金山天文臺拍攝的影像中發現了 2024 年地球夜空的寵兒--一顆明亮的彗星,命名為 "紫金山-ATLAS"(C/ 2023 A 3 )。這一發現歸功於位於南非薩瑟蘭天文臺的 NASA ATLAS 機器人巡天望遠鏡。與歷史悠久的紫金山天文臺有關並帶有該天文臺音譯普通話名稱的其他彗星發現包括週期彗星 60 /P 紫金山和 62 /P 紫金山。
原文:Colorful and bright, this streaking fireball meteor was captured in a single exposure taken at Purple Mountain (Tsuchinshan) Observatory’s Xuyi Station in 2020, during planet Earth's annual Perseid meteor shower. The dome in the foreground houses the China Near Earth Object Survey Telescope (CNEOST), the largest multi-purpose Schmidt telescope in China. Located in Xuyi County, Jiangsu Province, the station began its operation as an extension of China's Purple Mountain Observatory in 2006. Darling of planet Earth's night skies in 2024, the bright comet designated Tsuchinshan-ATLAS (C/2023 A3) was discovered in images taken there on 2023 January 9. The discovery is jointly credited to NASA's ATLAS robotic survey telescope at Sutherland Observatory, South Africa. Other comet discoveries associated with the historic Purple Mountain Observatory and bearing the observatory's transliterated Mandarin name include periodic comets 60/P Tsuchinshan and 62/P Tsuchinshan.
