接近邊緣的月亮
Moon Near the Edge

我們大多數人都是在晚上看月亮。不過，月球在地平線上度過的白天時間幾乎一樣多，不過在明亮的白天天空中，月盤看起來很蒼白，可能會有點難看。當然，在白天的天空中，月球在繞著我們美麗的星球執行時，也會因反射的陽光而閃閃發光。對於白天觀月的人來說，當月盤上可見的太陽光部分較大，並在第一季度後出現臘月或在第三季度接近臘月時，月亮可能更容易被發現。雖然看起來不太尋常，但即使在城市的天空中也經常能看到白天的月亮。這裡拍攝的是 3 月 12 日的一張長焦快照，一輪臘月白天的月亮正對著紐約市曼哈頓區一個著名觀景臺的邊緣。
原文：Most of us watch the Moon at night. But the Moon spends nearly as many daylight hours above our horizon, though in bright daytime skies the lunar disk looks pale and can be a little harder to see. Of course in daytime skies the Moon also appears to cycle through its phases, shining by reflected sunlight as it orbits our fair planet. For daytime moonwatchers, the Moon is probably easier to spot when the visible sunlit portion of the lunar disk is large and waxing following first quarter or waning approaching its third quarter phase. And though it might look unusual, a daytime moon is often seen even in urban skies. Captured here in a telephoto snapshot taken on March 12, a waxing daytime Moon is aligned near the edge of a popular observation deck that overlooks New York City's borough of Manahattan.
