The 14-year-old winners Yang Hanwen from southeastern China, and Zhou Zezhen from eastern China, won the prize with their collaborative image Andromeda Galaxy: The Neighbor.

来自中国东南部的14岁获奖者杨瀚文和来自中国东部的周泽震以他们合作的图片《仙女座星系》赢得了奖项。

The two teens who met online and bonded over a shared love of astronomy created their winning image by working together over the internet and had not met in person before winning the award.

这两名青少年在网上认识，并因共同的天文学爱好而结识，他们通过互联网合作创作了获奖图片，在获奖前没有见过面。

Yang has been a keen amateur astronomer since he was 12 years old after seeing a movie and convinced his parents to buy him a space telescope last year.

自12岁时看到一部电影后，杨瀚文一直热衷于天文爱好，并在去年说服他的父母为他购买了一台太空望远镜。

With the help of staff at an astronomy research facility in Yunnan, southwestern China, his telescope was set up to enable Yang to observe and take real-time images of deep space galaxies remotely from his laptop.

在中国西南部云南的一个天文研究机构的工作人员的帮助下，他的望远镜被安装起来，使杨瀚文能够通过他的笔记本电脑远程观察和拍摄深空星系的实时图像。

Yang targeted the Andromeda Galaxy because it is one of the closest and largest neighbours of the Milky Way.

杨瀚文的目标是仙女座星系，因为它是银河系最接近和最大的邻居之一。

“When you look at it with the naked eye it’s like fog, but through the telescope, it shows its magnificence,” Yang said.

他说："当你用肉眼看它时，它就像雾一样，但通过望远镜，便能看到它的壮丽。

Yang captured hundreds of images of the Andromeda Galaxy with five minutes of exposure for each.In the end, it took a total exposure of 17 hours to capture the best images and it was at this point that Yang passed the project to Zhou for help with computer processing.

杨瀚文拍摄了数百张仙女座星系的图片，每张图片的曝光时间为5分钟。最后，总共曝光了17个小时才捕捉到最好的图像，就在这时，他把这些图片交给周泽震，请他帮助进行计算机处理。

"望远镜的合成图像很暗，我们的眼睛看不到它。我的责任是让它变得可见，"周泽震说。

When the pair submitted the finished photo for the competition they didn’t think too much about it, assuming they would not win given the competitive nature of the competition.

当这对搭档将完成的照片提交给比赛时，他们没有想太多，认为鉴于比赛的竞争性质，他们不会获胜。

After the results came out they were surprised they had won in the youth category, with judges complimenting the photograph as a very natural-looking rendering of the Andromeda Galaxy.

结果出来后，他们对自己在青年组中获胜感到惊讶，评委们称赞这张照片对仙女座星系的渲染非常自然。

“I feel honoured and thank the judges for their work. One of the main functions of astrophotography is to attract more people to fall in love with astronomy by showing the beauty of the Universe,” Zhou said in an online acceptance speech at the awards.

周泽震在颁奖典礼上发表在线获奖感言时说 "我感到很荣幸，感谢评委们的点评。天体摄影的主要功能之一是通过展示宇宙之美来吸引更多的人爱上天文学。"

Yang added: “It also tells us the meaning of astronomy, making it easier for people to appreciate space. I think I will continue to do this exciting work.”

杨瀚文继续补充道："它还告诉我们天文学的意义，使人们更容易欣赏太空。我想我将继续做这项令人兴奋的工作"。

The teenagers have become a viral hit on mainland social media with many praising their hard work and effort at such a young age.

这两个青少年已经成为社交媒体上的热门人物，许多人赞扬他们在如此年轻的时候的辛勤工作和努力。

One admirer commented online: “They proved that having a hobby is the best teacher.”

一位网友评论道：他们证明了拥有爱好是最好的老师。
