海神廟外的超級月亮
Supermoon Beyond the Temple of Poseidon
發表日期：2024-08-20
昨天出現了超級月亮。今晚的月亮應該也會令人印象深刻。 超級月亮看起來比大多數滿月稍大、稍亮，因為它們在離地球稍近時達到滿月階段--比 90 % 的滿月都近。 根據定義，這次超級月亮也是一次藍月，因為它是一個季節中出現的四次滿月中的第三次。 藍月亮通常不是藍色的，另一種定義認為藍月亮是在一個月內出現的第二個滿月。 這張特寫圖片捕捉到的藍色超級月亮就在昨天接近其峰值的時候，當時它正在希臘波塞冬神廟外升起。這次超級月亮特別不尋常，因為它是連續四次超級月亮中的第一次，接下來的三次分別出現在 9 月、 10 月和 11 月。
原文：A supermoon occurred yesterday. And tonight's moon should also look impressive. Supermoons appear slightly larger and brighter than most full moons because they reach their full phase when slightly nearer to the Earth -- closer than 90 percent of all full moons. This supermoon was also a blue moon given the definition that it is the third of four full moons occurring during a single season. Blue moons are not usually blue, and a different definition holds that a blue moon is the second full moon that occurs during a single month. The featured image captured the blue supermoon right near its peak size yesterday as it was rising beyond the Temple of Poseidon in Greece. This supermoon is particularly unusual in that it is the first of four successive supermoons, the next three occurring in September, October, and November.
