「南投-信義」2015 塔塔加日出Tataka sunrise in 2015

好久沒看日出了，所以心血來潮晚上10點從高雄出發前往塔塔加。

來體驗平地31度，高山13度的感覺！

半夜一同熱血的夥伴們








意外的發現，看日出的人還挺多的呢！

看日出的地方是這個有著信義鄉牌子的地標處！

收起來的大衣，還真的派上了用場！

且越往上爬越冷啊...

太陽準備升起囉













樂樂也是第一次看日出喔



因為沒有進入管制區，所以把兩隻小狐狸帶上來了！

在5點多太陽升起，不過仔細一看，西側的天空中還掛著一輪明月呢！這時候的明月其實輪廓大致上都有顯現出來，但右下角有一小塊卻像被什麼東西遮住了。

The sun rose a little after 5 AM, but when I looked to the west, there was still a moon hanging in the sky! The outline of the moon was pretty much complete, but the lower right corner seemed to be obscured by something.

我們知道，月亮的形狀會一直變來變去，有圓圓的滿月，像個大圓盤；也有像香蕉一樣的一半亮一半暗的上弦月和下弦月。當我們完全看不到月亮的時候，就稱為『朔』。

We know that the shape of the moon changes all the time. Sometimes it's a full moon, round like a big plate, and other times it's a crescent moon, shaped like a banana. When we can't see the moon at all, it's called a new moon.

今天早上看到的月亮，應該就是虧缺月，也就是從滿月向新月過渡的階段。因為右下角被遮住的部分，另外盈凸月的亮面主要集中在右側，而虧缺月的亮面則主要集中在左側。

The moon I saw this morning must have been a waning gibbous moon, which is the phase between a full moon and a new moon. The part in the lower right corner that was covered suggests it's a waning gibbous moon. Also, the bright part of a waxing gibbous moon is mainly on the right side, while the bright part of a waning gibbous moon is mainly on the left side.

塔塔加有名的夫妻樹！
