We cast a shadow on the center of the galaxy by the light of the Milky Way. Other times, the image of Earth has appeared clearly. Once, we were trying to figure out what image we were seeing and realized it was Venus! As you can imagine we were blown away.
-Seichi Sakamoto, “ALMA’s Long Awaited Plans“
天の川の光で、自分の影ができるんですよ。
銀河系の中心が、そのへんに見えてるから。
で、また別のときですけど、自分の影がくっきり出たことがあって。
で「何の影だろう？」と見上げたら、金星。
さすがに、あのときばかりは「カーッ、すげえな！」と思いましたね。
