在寒冷的冬夜，當太陽剛剛落下，月亮變得亮晶晶時，小朋友們可以看到一個稚嫩的月牙。在這美麗的暮色中，月亮旁邊還有三顆明亮的行星。最近的行星是金星，它在西邊的天空中最接近地平線。金星是地球的晚星，它在日落時的光芒中顯得特別耀眼。再往上看，水星則高高懸在夜空中，雖然天色漸漸變黑了，但它依然非常明亮。最後，還有土星，它就在月亮的左邊，與月亮形成了一幅美麗的夜空畫面。這樣的景象實在令人著迷，小朋友們也許會好奇，為什麼這些星星和行星會這麼亮？
原文:
Only two days after the February New Moon’s annular eclipse of the Sun, a slender lunar crescent poses above the western horizon after sunset in this wintry twilight skyscape. Its nightside faintly illuminated by earthshine, the young Moon is joined by three bright planets in the mostly clear, early evening skies above the village of Kirazli, Turkiye. Inner planet Venus appears closest to the horizon. Near the beginning of its 2026 performance as planet Earth’s evening star, brilliant Venus is seen through the warm sunset glare near picture center. Straight above Venus, innermost planet Mercury is easy to spot as it stands remarkably high above the horizon even as the twilight sky is growing dark. Outer planet Saturn, most distant of the naked-eye planets, is found just left of the Moon’s sunlit crescent.
