很久很久以前,天空中出現了兩顆亮晶晶的星星,它們的名字叫做Jupiter(木星)和Venus(金星)。在2012年,這兩顆星星在日落的時候成為了好朋友,幾乎所有人都能看到它們在西方的天空中一起閃爍。那年,有個創意十足的攝影師,帶著他的女兒離開了小鎮的燈光,去拍下了它們靠得非常近的樣子。當時,Jupiter和Venus只隔了三度的距離,他的女兒也在背景中擺了個搞笑的姿勢,羅曼蒂克的紅色日落在他們背後閃爍著。不久後,今年這兩顆星星在日落時又再次相聚,兩天後它們會靠得更近,只有一度的距離呢!
原文:
It was visible around the world. The sunset conjunction of Jupiter (left) and Venus (right) in 2012 was visible almost no matter where you lived on Earth. Anyone on our planet with a clear western horizon at sunset could see them. That year, a creative photographer traveled away from the town lights of Szubin, Poland to photograph a near closest approach of the two planets. The bright planets were then separated by only three degrees and his daughter struck a humorous pose. A faint red sunset still glowed in the background. Jupiter and Venus are together again this week after sunset, passing within a degree of each other about two days from today.
