[漢羅] 來揣新月

毋知你敢有法度揣著月娘？ 這款簡單 ê 任務通常是足困難達成–ê。 是講，月娘有一半時間攏 tī 地平線以上，月相 ùi 月眉到月圓攏有可能。 這張相片是 5 月底 ùi 西班牙 Sant Martí d’Empúries 鎮 翕–ê，是 tī 透早 ê 地中海 面頂。 你會 揣袂著 月娘 ê 其中一个原因，是因為這馬 ê 月相足倚 新月，去予 太陽 照著發光 ê 彼半爿，ùi 地球看較袂著。 另外一个原因，是因為月娘這馬 tī 地平線附近，月光愛迵過較長 ê 地球大氣層 才會到咱遮。 按呢本底就 較暗 ê 月眉，就閣較看袂著矣。 月眉 干焦會 tī 日頭附近出現，所以干焦會 tī 日出抑是日落才看會著。 月娘全部 ê 月相 走一輾，差不多愛 一個月。 這個月上薄 ê 月眉，就是 新月，閣 3 工就會出現矣。

[English] Find the New Moon

Can you find the Moon? This usually simple task can be quite difficult. Even though the Moon is above your horizon half of the time, its phase can be anything from crescent to full. The featured image was taken in late May from Sant Martí d’Empúries, Spain, over the Mediterranean Sea in the early morning. One reason you can’t find this moon is because it is very near to its new phase, when very little of the half illuminated by the Sun is visible to the Earth. Another reason is because this moon is near the horizon and so seen through a long path of Earth’s atmosphere – a path which dims the already faint crescent. Any crescent moon is only visible near the direction the Sun, and so only locatable near sunrise of sunset. The Moon runs through all of its phases in a month (moon-th), and this month the thinnest sliver of a crescent – a new moon – will occur in three days.
