EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning beauty of two stars, Alnilam and Mintaka, nestled in the constellation of Orion. With its optical precision, the image captures Mintaka in the top right corner and Alnilam in the lower left corner. These celestial wonders hold significant astronomical importance. Mintaka, also known as Delta Orionis, shines with a magnitude of 1.7 and resides an astonishing 1200 light years away from our planet Earth. Positioned furthest east among three equally bright stars that form Orion's belt, Mintaka stands out as a beacon of cosmic brilliance. Alnilam, or Epsilon Orionis, takes center stage within this photograph. Radiating with a magnitude of 2.2, it lies at a staggering distance of 2300 light years from us. Its placement amidst Orion's belt adds to the allure and symmetry displayed by these celestial bodies. Captured by the UK Schmidt telescope located in Siding Springs, Australia—a facility overseen by Scotland's Royal Observatory—this awe-inspiring imagery offers a glimpse into our vast universe. The telescope's remarkable 1.8-meter primary mirror enables scientists to explore distant galaxies and unravel mysteries beyond our imagination. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing snapshot where North is positioned at the top, we are reminded of humanity's insatiable curiosity about what lies beyond our own world—an eternal quest for knowledge that continues to drive scientific exploration forward.
