日食の 後はすまして 三日月に

３日前に日食の原因を作った月が、今宵は三日月となって南西の空に出てます。月は１日に１２°東に移動するので地球から見て太陽とは既に３６°離れました。右下が光ってますが、南半球から見ると左下が光ります。インドあたりで見るとお椀の舟のように下が光って見えます。月までの距離は３８万Ｋｍあり、もし地球を月まで転がすと９.５回転です。次の新月は２月５日なので内モンゴルや中国などアジア各地ではこの日が旧暦のお正月です。

The moon that made the cause of the solar eclipse three days ago becomes crescent moon in the southwestern sky tonight. As it moves to east 12 degrees a day, it already got 36 degrees away from the sun as seen from the earth. The lower right glows, but the lower left glows when viewing from the southern hemisphere. Looking around in India, the bottom is lighting like a bowl of boat. The distance to the moon is 380,000 Km, so if we roll the earth to the moon, it will be 9.5 times rolled. The next new moon is February 5 so that the New Year's Day of lunar calendar is at this day in various parts of Asia such as Inner Mongolia and China.
