欧洲很少有地方像白云石那样有机会进入银河系。远离城市和光污染,海拔数千英尺,白云石在剪切、参差不齐的山峰上提供了一个令人惊叹的、充满活力的夜空,切断了黑暗。白云石也被称为“苍白山脉”,因其组成的碳酸盐岩而命名,而碳酸盐岩又是以18世纪法国矿物学家Déodat Gratte de Dolomieu的名字命名的,他是第一位描述这种矿物的科学家。

Few places in Europe offer the opportunity to take in the Milky Way like the Dolomites. Far from cities and light pollution, and thousands of feet above sea level, the Dolomites offer a stunning, vibrant night sky above shear, jagged peaks that cut the dark. Also known as the ‘Pale Mountains,’ the Dolomites are named for the carbonate rock they are composed of, which was in turn named after 18th-century French mineralogist Déodat Gratet de Dolomieu, the first scientist to describe the mineral.
