[漢羅] 萬聖節 kah 鬼頭星雲

萬聖節 ê 起源 kah 天文有關，自古早時代 to̍h 開始矣。 Ùi 西元前 5 世紀開始，萬聖節 to̍h 是用來慶祝 換季日。 換季日是 春分秋分（日時 kah 暗暝平長彼工）kah 夏節冬節（北半球上短彼工/南半球上長彼工）ê 中央彼工。 毋閣用 現代曆日 來看，雖然萬聖節是後禮拜，真正 ê 換 季日 是 閣晏一禮拜。 另外一个 換季日是 竹鼠日。 現代萬聖節 ê 慶祝活動，有保留 古早時代 利用 穿差來嚇驚 過身 ê 人 ê 魂魄，予 in 緊走 ê 風俗。 這幅 哈伯太空望遠鏡 翕 ê 鬼頭星雲，kah 這个古早時代 to̍h 有 ê 節日有四配。 嘛 kah bàng-kà 內底 ê 幽靈 有合。 NGC 2080 實際上是大麥哲倫星雲內底 ê 恆星形成區。 大麥哲倫星雲 是咱 銀河系 ê 衛星星系。 鬼頭星雲 (NGC 2080) 差不多有 50 光年 闊，疊這色嘛拄仔好勢。

[English] Halloween and the Ghost Head Nebula

Halloween's origin is ancient and astronomical. Since the fifth century BC, Halloween has been celebrated as a cross-quarter day, a day halfway between an equinox (equal day / equal night) and a solstice (minimum day / maximum night in the northern hemisphere). With a modern calendar however, even though Halloween occurs next week, the real cross-quarter day will occur the week after. Another cross-quarter day is Groundhog Day. Halloween's modern celebration retains historic roots in dressing to scare away the spirits of the dead. Perhaps a fitting tribute to this ancient holiday is this view of the Ghost Head Nebula taken with the Hubble Space Telescope. Similar to the icon of a fictional ghost, NGC 2080 is actually a star forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our own Milky Way Galaxy. The Ghost Head Nebula (NGC 2080) spans about 50 light-years and is shown in representative colors.
