在最近的清晨黃昏時分,地球上早起的人們可以欣賞到閃亮的新月靠近明亮的金星,接近東方地平線。昨天,也就是 9 月 19 日,在地球北半球的一些地方觀測的天文愛好者也目睹了處於內行星臘月吉光期的金星從月亮的殘月後面穿過。事實上,這張望遠鏡快照就是在新月開始掩星前一刻拍攝的。這幅美麗的天體排列特寫記錄了金星在瑞士阿爾卑斯山晴朗的白天接近月球的部分日光邊緣。明天,太陽將從新月背後經過。但是,要在 9 月 21 日目睹日偏食,觀天者需要在地球南半球的地點進行觀測。
原文:rly risers around planet Earth have enjoyed a shining crescent Moon near brilliant Venus, close to the eastern horizon in recent morning twilight skies. And yesterday, on September 19, skygazers watching from some locations in Earth's northern hemisphere were also able to witness Venus, in the inner planet's waxing gibbous phase, pass behind the Moon's waning crescent. In fact, this telescopic snapshot was taken moments before that occultation of gibbous Venus by the crescent Moon began. The close-up view of the beautiful celestial alignment records Venus approaching part of the Moon's sunlit edge in clear daytime skies from the Swiss Alps. Tomorrow, the Sun will pass behind a New Moon. But to witness that partial solar eclipse on September 21, skygazers will need to watch from locations in planet Earth's southern hemisphere.
