今晚，你們可以看到2026年的第一個圓月！圓月是最亮的月亮階段，會在世界協調時間（UTC）1月3日10:03出現。再過約7小時，地球會在17:16 UTC達到2026年的最近點，這是它圍繞太陽橢圓軌道中最靠近太陽的地方。1月的圓月也非常接近它的最近地球點，這個最近點是在1月1日21:44 UTC達到的。今晚你還可以看到行星木星，它是2026年最亮的星星之一，然後就能在天空中靠近圓月。另外，當你在觀星的時候，別忘記留意來自Quadrantid流星雨的稀有明亮流星哦！

The Full Moon is the brightest lunar phase, and tonight you can stand in the light of the first Full Moon of 2026. In fact, the Moon’s full phase occurs on January 3 at 10:03 UTC, while only about 7 hours later planet Earth reaches its 2026 perihelion, the closest point in its elliptical orbit around the Sun, at 17:16 UTC. January’s Full Moon was also not far from its own perigee, or closest approach to planet Earth. For this lunation the Moon’s perigee was on January 1 at 21:44 UTC. You can also spot planet Jupiter, near its brightest for 2026 and close on the sky to the Full Moon tonight. But while you’re out skygazing don’t forget to look for rare, bright fireballs from the Quadrantid meteor shower.
