日隱月現 夜幕天降 Eclipsing the Ordinary: A Moment under the Moon’s Shadow
OCT. 15,2024 / Analytical Editors
The phenomenon known as a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, and all three directly align. In such a situation, the Moon casts its shadow on the Earth and blocks the Sun. To observers on Earth, the Sun may partially or fully vanish, the sky eerily darkens, and the wind may pick up. In ancient civilizations, these events brought on profound fear and bewilderment. For many centuries and millennia, humans speculated about the reasons for what was happening in the sky above them.
被稱為日食的現象在月球穿過太陽和地球之間、三者筆直排成一線時會發生。在這樣的狀況下,月球的影子會投射在地球上,且月球會擋住太陽。對地球上的觀察者來說,太陽可能會部分或完全消失、天空詭異地暗了下來,且風可能會增強。在古文明中,這些事件引起了深刻的恐懼和困惑。數世紀、數千年以來,人們猜測著他們頭頂上的天空發生這樣事件的原因。
