你能找到太陽嗎？好的，但你能解釋為什麼中心有一個大黑點嗎？這個黑點就是月球。圖中令人印象深刻的排列方式，即月球在太陽內部排列，被稱為日環食。這樣的日食就發生在上週，從地球南半球的一個狹長地帶可以看到。這張圖片是從智利巴塔哥尼亞拍攝的。當月球明顯靠近地球並與太陽對齊時，地球部分地區就能看到日全食。日環食比日全食略為常見，但隨著月球慢慢遠離地球，再過十億年，月球軌道將不再足夠接近地球，地球上的任何地方都能看到日全食。 相簿： 2024 年 10 月的日環食
原文：Can you find the Sun? OK, but can you explain why there’s a big dark spot in the center? The spot is the Moon, and the impressive alignment shown, where the Moon lines up inside the Sun, is called an annular solar eclipse. Such an eclipse occurred just last week and was visible from a thin swath mostly in Earth's southern hemisphere. The featured image was captured from Patagonia, Chile. When the Moon is significantly closer to the Earth and it aligns with the Sun, a total solar eclipse is then visible from parts of the Earth. Annular eclipses are slightly more common than total eclipses, but as the Moon moves slowly away from the Earth, before a billion more years, the Moon's orbit will no longer bring it close enough for a total solar eclipse to be seen from anywhere on Earth.
