A Hazy Harvest Moon

對於北半球的居民來說，九月的滿月是收穫之月。 9 月 17 / 18 日，太陽照耀下的月球近側進入陰影中，剛好擦過地球的本影，即地球黑暗的中心陰影錐，發生了月偏食。在黎明前的兩個半小時內，我們用固定在三腳架上的相機記錄了這一系列曝光，當時食既豐收月落在斯洛伐克東部朦朧晨空中的斯皮什城堡後方。豐收月在節日、故事和歌曲中都很有名，它只是離秋分最近的滿月的傳統名稱。 根據傳說，這個名字非常貼切。儘管隨著生長季節的結束，日照時間越來越少，但農民們可以藉著從黃昏到黎明的滿月之光收割莊稼。今年九月的豐收月也被一些人稱為超級月亮，這個詞已經成為近地點附近滿月的傳統名稱。
原文：For northern hemisphere dwellers, September's Full Moon was the Harvest Moon. On September 17/18 the sunlit lunar nearside passed into shadow, just grazing Earth's umbra, the planet's dark, central shadow cone, in a partial lunar eclipse. Over the two and half hours before dawn a camera fixed to a tripod was used to record this series of exposures as the eclipsed Harvest Moon set behind Spiš Castle in the hazy morning sky over eastern Slovakia. Famed in festival, story, and song, Harvest Moon is just the traditional name of the full moon nearest the autumnal equinox. According to lore the name is a fitting one. Despite the diminishing daylight hours as the growing season drew to a close, farmers could harvest crops by the light of a full moon shining on from dusk to dawn. This September's Harvest Moon was also known to some as a supermoon, a term becoming a traditional name for a full moon near perigee.
