中文翻譯:
在9月7日當太陽落山時，滿月會在天空中升起。那一天，地球上許多地方的朋友們，包括南極洲、澳大利亞、亞洲、歐洲和非洲的部分地區，將可以看到一次特殊的天文現象——月全食。在這次月全食中，月亮會完全進入地球的影子中，帶著一種神秘的紅色光芒。當滿月首次進入地球的影子時，它會變得越來越暗，最終在整個月全食的時候，呈現出美麗的紅色。其實，這種紅色來自於地球周圍的日出和日落時的光線，當這些光線穿過地球的厚厚大氣層時，會被散射到這片黑暗的中心影子中。是的，這就是為什麼在這一天，月亮會這麼特別、這麼美麗！就像在8月22日，從意大利的Sant’Antioco拍下的那一張照片，紅色的天空、藍色的海洋，以及Mangiabarche燈塔，讓人不禁想要駐足觀賞。
原文:
When the sun sets on September 7, the Full Moon will rise. And on that date denizens around much of our fair planet, including parts of Antarctica, Australia, Asia, Europe, and Africa can witness a total lunar eclipse, with the Moon completely immersed in Earth’s shadow. As the bright Full Moon first enters Earth’s shadow it will darken, finally taking on a reddish hue during the total eclipse phase. In fact, the color of the Moon during a total lunar eclipse is due to reddened light from sunrises and sunsets around planet Earth. The reddened sunlight is scattered by a dense atmosphere into the planet’s otherwise dark central shadow. When the sun set on August 22, this telephoto snapshot of red skies, blue sea, and the Mangiabarche Lighthouse was captured from Sant’Antioco, Sardinia, Italy.
