在九月的星空中,有一個特別的現象叫做總月蝕。這次月蝕在地球的北半球和南半球都可以看到,還被拍攝下來,變成了兩個很酷的時間延遲影片。在北半球,從中國的浙江大學國際校區拍攝的影片裡,我們可以看到月亮在星空中畫出一道美麗的弧線,從左上角移到右下角。這時,亮亮的土星就就在月亮的下面,天空也很晴朗。而在南半球,從澳洲坎培拉的格里芬湖拍攝的影片中,月亮則是從右上角向左下角移動。在湖邊,還能看到雷電閃爍的景象,光影反射在湖面上,真是奇妙!這兩段影片都是使用16mm的廣角鏡頭拍攝的,並且記錄下了整個月蝕的過程。在畫面的中間,可以看到被地球的陰影包裹的紅色月亮。雖然這兩個地點的視角不一樣,但它們都讓我們看到了宇宙的美麗,還教會我們,不同地方的天空是不同的哦!
原文:
September’s total lunar eclipse is tracked across night skies from both the northern and southern hemispheres of planet Earth in these two dramatic timelapse series. In the northern hemisphere sequence (top panel) the Moon’s trail arcs from the upper left to the lower right. It passes below bright planet Saturn, seen under mostly clear skies from the international campus of Zhejiang University in China at about 30 degrees north latitude. In contrast, the southern hemisphere view from Lake Griffin, Canberra, Australia at 35 degrees south latitude, records the Moon’s trail from the upper right to the lower left. Multiple lightning flashes from thunderstorms near the horizon appear reflected in the lake. Both sequences were photographed with 16mm wide-angle lenses and both cover the entire eclipse, with the darkened red Moon totally immersed in Earth’s umbral shadow near center. But the different orientations of the Moon’s path across the sky reveal the perspective shifts caused by the views from northern vs. southern latitudes.
