Venus, named for the Roman goddess of love, and Mars, the war god’s namesake, came together by moonlight in this lovely skyview, recorded on February 20 from Charleston, South Carolina, USA, planet Earth. Made in twilight with a digital camera, the three second time exposure also records earthshine illuminating the otherwise dark surface of the young crescent Moon. Of course, the Moon has moved on from this much anticipated triple conjunction. Venus still shines in the west though as the evening star, third brightest object in Earth’s sky, after the Sun and the Moon itself. Seen here within almost a Moon’s width of Venus, much fainter Mars approached even closer on the following evening. But Mars has since been moving slowly away from brilliant Venus, though Mars is still visible too in the western twilight.
中文翻譯:
金星（Venus），這位羅馬愛神的象徵，與火星（Mars）這位戰神的名字相呼應，在南卡羅來納州查爾斯頓（Charleston, South Carolina, USA）於二月二十日的夜空中相聚。這幅美麗的天文畫面是在黃昏時分以數位相機拍攝的，三秒的長時間曝光不僅捕捉到金星和火星的光芒，也記錄了年輕弦月的地球反照光，照亮了其周圍的黑暗面。當然，月亮已經離開了這場備受期待的三重會聚。至今，金星作為晚星依然在西方閃耀，成為地球天空中第三明亮的物體，僅次於太陽和月亮。這裡在金星附近，幾乎是一個月亮的寬度，較為黯淡的火星在隨後的晚上更是接近，但是火星正慢慢離開閃亮的金星，雖然如此，在西方的黃昏天空中，火星依然可見。
