超级蓝血月
super blue blood moon
The world’s first blue moon total lunar eclipse in more than 150 years was seen on Wednesday. The moon appeared larger, brighter and reddish-orange for some skygazers when a total lunar eclipse occured during a blue moon and a so-called supermoon.
150多年一遇的蓝月亮月全食于1月31日再次现身天宇。天文观测者观看到月全食、蓝月亮和所谓的“超级月亮”一同出现,月亮比平时更大、更亮,并呈现橘红色。
The lunar eclipse occurred at the same time as a blue moon, a term given to the second full moon of a given calendar month. And it is considered by some a “supermoon,” or a full moon that’s closer to Earth than usual and can appear slightly brighter and larger than normal.
此次月全食伴随蓝月亮一同出现,而蓝月亮则指一个公历月中出现的第二个满月。还有些人将其称为“超级月亮”或满月,因为彼时月球刚好处于近地点,人们看到的月亮就比平时更亮更大。
“Blue moon” has nothing to do with the color of the moon. In fact, the full moon appeared red or a burnt-orange hue, which is where it gets its “blood moon” moniker. This happens because the indirect sunlight that reaches the moon, during a total lunar eclipse, first makes its way through the Earth’s atmosphere, where most of the scattered blue-colored light is filtered out. The moon could also appear blood red, dark brown or gray.
“蓝月亮”与月亮的颜色无关。事实上,满月出现了红色或焦橙色的色调,这就是它得名“血月亮”的原因。这是由于在月全食期间,到达月球的间接阳光首先穿过地球大气层,在那里,大部分散射的蓝色光被过滤掉。月亮也有可能变成血红色、深棕色或灰色。
Vocabulary:
total lunar eclipse 月全食
slate 预定;计划;安排
reddish-orange 橘红色
skygazer 天文观测者
moniker 绰号;名字
hue 色彩;色度;色调;叫声
scatter 分散,散开;散射
filter out 过滤掉;不予注意;泄露
