红尘中的宇宙美景 Cosmic views over earthly hues

阿伊特本哈杜杜，摩洛哥

准备好迎接摩洛哥的星空之夜吧！在这里观星真的很神奇，广阔的天空和极少的光污染让每个夜晚都变得璀璨夺目。你看到的每一颗星星都是银河系的一部分，银河系得名于它在最黑暗的天空中呈现出的乳白色光带。在今天的图片中，你可以看到这种宇宙之美在阿伊特本哈杜杜的上空闪耀，这是摩洛哥瓦尔扎扎特省一个历史悠久的筑有防御工事的村庄。该遗址最早建于11世纪，它是古代连接撒哈拉沙漠和马拉喀什贸易路线上的重要一站。村庄坐落在乌尼拉河边的山坡上，是一个由保护墙、塔楼和大门包围起来的建筑群。这里的粘土建筑由夯土、土坯和木材建成，展现了传统的手工艺。这一联合国教科文组织世界遗产因其原汁原味的历史风貌而闻名，还因为致力于保护传统建筑技术和避免使用现代混凝土而得到认可。

Aït Benhaddou, Morocco

Get ready for a starry Moroccan night! Stargazing here is truly magical, as the vast skies and minimal light pollution transform each evening into a dazzling display. Every star you see is part of our galaxy, the Milky Way, which appears as a creamy band of light in the darkest skies. In today's image, you can see this cosmic beauty glowing over Aït Benhaddou, a historic fortified village known as a ksar, in the Ouarzazate province of Morocco. This site was first fortified in the 11th century. It was a key stop on the ancient caravan trade route connecting the Sahara and the city of Marrakesh. Perched on a hillside by the Ounila River, this village is a cluster of buildings encircled by a protective wall, complete with towers and a gate.

The earthen clay architecture here, built from rammed earth, adobe, and wood, showcases traditional craftsmanship. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is celebrated for its authenticity and is known for preserving conventional building techniques and avoiding modern concrete.
