[漢羅] 土星環 kah 土星 ê 季節

土星 ê 環會當予咱知影土星 ê 季節。 地球台灣時間這禮拜四是 秋分（世界協調時是 tī 拜三）。 Tī 這工，地球赤道 是趨 tùi 太陽去。 因為 土星環 踅土星 赤道 leh 行，所以土星自旋軸若是有指向 太陽，ùi 太陽 ê 方向來看，這寡環會變甲 足明顯 ê。 毋閣 土星 自旋軸若是指向另外一爿，to̍h 是 春分抑是秋分 彼陣，按呢毋管是 ùi 太陽看抑是 ùi 地球看，側向 ê 土星環 to̍h 會 足歹看著。 這幅 土星組合圖 是 kā 2004 到 2015 年 ê 土星影像疊做伙 ê。 這是為著欲予咱看著這粒 巨行星 ùi 南半球熱天 到 北半球熱天 ê 影像。 土星 頂個月離咱地球 實在是有夠近 ê。 這個月 這个有環 ê 巨行星猶是 足光 ê，tī 暗時差不多攏看會著。

[English] Rings and Seasons of Saturn

On Saturn, the rings tell you the season. On Earth, Wednesday marks an equinox, the time when the Earth’s equator tilts directly toward the Sun. Since Saturn’s grand rings orbit along the planet’s equator, these rings appear most prominent – from the direction of the Sun – when the Saturn’s spin axis points toward the Sun. Conversely, when Saturn’s spin axis points to the side, an equinox occurs and the edge-on rings are hard to see from not only the the Sun – but Earth. In the featured montage, images of Saturn between the years of 2004 and 2015 have been superposed to show the giant planet passing from southern summer toward northern summer. Saturn was as close as it can get to planet Earth last month, and this month the ringed giant is still bright and visible throughout much of the night.
