你住哪儿啊? 我怎么没见

整个西边,从centrepoint到kanata都下了,我在雨中开车回家的。
 
现在外面天色特别好,虽然是夜晚,但因为月亮很圆很亮,天色还能看出是淡蓝的。月光把层层叠叠的云朵轮廓勾画得很奇幻。



懒得起床啦, 每天都会有月亮

快起来去看一看啊,大懒猫。明天的月亮跟今天的又不一样了。

Two cosmic events, a penumbral lunar eclipse tonight and a meteor shower on Sunday, may make it worth your while this weekend to cast a glance at the night sky.

Starting just before 8 p.m. ET Friday, the bottom half of the full moon will be darkened by the Earth's shadow during the penumbral lunar eclipse.

The Earth's shadow has two distinct regions: A very dark, central region called the umbra, and a diffuse outer region called the penumbra.

The penumbra will cause the moon to get dimmer Friday night until about two-thirds of the moon is cloaked in shadow at 8:50 p.m. People in Eastern Canada will be able to see the entire event, but it will be well underway at moonrise for those in Central and Western Canada. This penumbral eclipse will be subtle but still noticeable to anyone who stops to take a look.
Even subtle eclipses can "help people understand that our solar system is in motion," said Colin Haig, vice-president of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada. "It’s a fairly rare event, a couple times a year at best and it happens in a matter of a few hours."

Sunday night to dawn on Monday will be the peak of the Orionid meteor shower.
"In the darker hours, look towards [the constellation] Orion the hunter, generally in the southeast sky," says Haig, and it will appear that meteors are coming from Orion's club.

The meteor shower will peak at 10 to 20 meteors per hour just before dawn on Monday, according to Earthsky.org. Unfortunately, the brightness of the full moon will make the meteors difficult to see for most Canadians.
