在一幅漂亮的照片中,我們看到了一間小小的山上教堂。這間教堂仿佛藏在樹林之下,並且看起來像是在躲避著月亮的光芒。照片是於11月23日拍攝的,教堂的牆面反射著來自地面燈光的亮光。而月亮則是從太陽那裡反射出光來,在它的表面有一半始終被陽光照亮,但在那個晚上,只能看到一小片被陽光照亮的月亮。那時正是新月之後的第三天,月亮進入了漸滿的弦月階段。這張美麗的照片是在意大利北部的Danta di Cadore,夕陽落下後不久拍攝的。
原文:
This is not a screen from a video game. Nestled below the tree-line, the small mountain church does look like it might be hiding from Moon though. In the well-composed telephoto snapshot, taken on November 23, the church walls are partly reflecting light from terrestrial flood lights. Of course, the Moon is reflecting light from the Sun. At any given time the Sun illuminates fully half of the Moon’s surface, also known as the lunar dayside, but on that night only a sliver of its sunlit surface was visible. About three days after New Moon, the Moon was in a waxing crescent phase. The single exposure was captured shortly after sunset in skies near Danta di Cadore, northern Italy, planet Earth.
