一月狼月
A January Wolf Moon

你看到上個月的滿月了嗎？平均每個月，地球上空都會出現一次滿月。這是因為月球需要一個月的時間完成繞地球的另一個軌道，經歷所有的月相，並再次被反射的陽光照亮整個面向地球的半邊。 許多本土文化都會給每次滿月起一個名字，這次滿月的名字包括冰月、宅月和靜月。在現代西方日曆中，滿月發生在一月，一些文化還將最近的滿月命名為 "狼月"，以紀念著名的嚎叫動物。在義大利阿爾卑斯山的上空，我們用長、短時間曝光的組合影像捕捉到了剛剛過去的狼月。 這幅影像之所以引人注目，是因為在一些人看來，周圍的雲層就像一張準備吞下狼月的狼嘴，而另一些人則把月亮看成是狼的眼睛。
原文：Did you see the full moon last month? During every month, on average, a full moon occurs in the skies over planet Earth. This is because the Moon takes a month to complete another orbit around our home planet, goes through all of its phases, and once again has its entire Earth-facing half lit by reflected sunlight. Many indigenous cultures give each full moon a name, and this past full moon's names include the Ice Moon, the Stay at Home Moon, and the Quiet Moon. Occurring in January on the modern western calendar, several cultures have also named the most recent full moon the Wolf Moon, in honor of the famous howling animal. Featured here above the Italian Alps mountains, this past Wolf Moon was captured in combined long and short exposure images. The image is striking because, to some, the surrounding clouds appear as a wolf's mouth ready to swallow the Wolf Moon, while others see the Moon as a wolf's eye.
