Explanation: A natural border between Slovakia and Poland is the Tatra Mountains. A prominent destination for astrophotographers, the Tatras are the highest mountain range in the Carpathians. In the featured image taken in May, one can see the center of our Milky Way galaxy with two of its famous stellar nurseries, the Lagoon and Omega Nebula, just over the top of the Tatras. Stellar nurseries are full of ionized hydrogen, a fundamental component for the formation of Earth-abundant water. As a fundamental ingredient in all known forms of life, water is a crucial element in the Universe. Such water can be seen in the foreground in the form of the Bialka River.

说明: 塔楚拉山脉是斯洛伐克和波兰的天然边界。塔楚拉山脉则是喀尔巴阡山系中最高耸的山脉，也是天文摄影者的热门造访地点。在摄于5月的这幅主题影像里，可以看到银河 系的中央盘面，以及一些著名的恒星诞生区，例如悬在塔楚拉群峰上空的礁湖星云和欧米茄星云。恒星育婴室里头满满都是电离化的氢，这种形成地球上大量水体的基本化学成分。而作为所有已知生命形态基本成分的水，更是宇宙中的关键元素。在影像前景里，即可见到以白河里泛流的液体存在的水。 （Bialka River 白河）
