오늘의 멋진 우주 그림 (2023-08-30)

by 하나위언 2023. 8. 31.

안녕하세요, 우주 관련 뉴스 입니다. 오늘은 NASA에서 어떤 소식들을 전해줄까요?
우선 이미지를 살펴보도록 하겠습니다!

 

이 이미지 제목은 Full Moons of August 러써. NASA에서 공식적으로 제공한 소개를 살펴보겠습니다.

 

Near perigee, the closest point in its almost moonthly orbit, a Full Moon rose as the Sun set on August 1. Its brighter than average lunar disk was captured in this dramatic moonrise sequence over dense cloud banks along the eastern horizon from Ragusa, Sicily. Illuminating night skies around planet Earth it was the second supermoon of 2023. Yet again near perigee, the third supermoon of 2023 will also shine on an August night. Rising as the Sun sets tonight this second Full Moon in August will be known to some as a Blue Moon, even though scattered sunlight gives the lunar disk a reddened hue. Defined as the second full moon in a calendar month, blue moons occur only once every 2 or 3 years. That's because lunar phases take 29.5 days, almost a calendar month, to go through a complete cycle. Tonight an August Blue Moon will find itself beside bright planet Saturn.

 

오늘도 광활한 우주 앞에 인간이 얼마나 작은 존재인지 깨닫게 되네요.
저는 내일도 더 좋은 사진과 함께 돌아오겠습니다, 행복한 지구여행 되세요!
