兩個世界,兩個類比
Two Worlds, Two Analemmas

當然,一年中每天同一時間太陽在地球天空中的位置所形成的 " 8 "字形曲線被稱為類比矩。左圖中,地球的 " 8 "字形等值線是透過合併 2011 年 12 月至 2012 年 12 月期間記錄的廣角數字影像描繪出來的。但類模的形狀取決於行星軌道的偏心率和自轉軸的傾斜度,因此不同的世界的類模曲線可能會有所不同。以火星為例。這顆紅色星球的軸傾角與地球相似,但它圍繞同一個太陽的軌道比地球軌道更偏心(更不圓)。從火星表面看,右圖中的類星體形狀更像一顆淚滴。火星漫遊車 "機遇號 "在火星上捕捉到的影像與地球上的 2006 年 7 月至 2008 年 6 月相對應。當然,每個世界的夏至日期仍然位於其不同類比曲線的頂部和底部。火星上一個夏至日是 2025 年 5 月 29 日。我們這顆行星 2025 年的北夏至日是世界協調時 6 月 21 日 2 : 42 。
原文:Sure, that figure-8 shaped curve you get when you mark the position of the Sun in Earth's sky at the same time each day over one year is called an analemma. On the left, Earth's figure-8 analemma was traced by combining wide-angle digital images recorded during the year from December 2011 through December 2012. But the shape of an analemma depends on the eccentricity of a planet's orbit and the tilt of its axis of rotation, so analemma curves can look different for different worlds. Take Mars for example. The Red Planet's axial tilt is similar to Earth's, but its orbit around the same sun is more eccentric (less circular) than Earth's orbit. As seen from the Martian surface, the analemma traced in the right hand panel is shaped more like a tear drop. The Mars rover Opportunity captured the images used over the Martian year corresponding to Earth dates July 2006 to June 2008. Of course, each world's solstice dates still lie at the top and bottom of their different analemma curves. The last Mars northern summer solstice was May 29, 2025. Our fair planet's 2025 northern summer solstice is at June 21, 2:42 UTC.
