Have you ever seen the Moon rising over your town or city? It can appear very large when it is low on the horizon. Our Moon goes through phases, and it looks a little different every day. When the whole Moon is lit up, it is called a full moon. When the Moon is entirely dark, we call it a new moon. When there is only a small edge of the circle shining, it is called a crescent moon. When a crescent moon is rising, we can occasionally see a unique event.

  你曾在你所在的城鎮上空看過月亮升起嗎?當月亮位置較低接近地平線時,它會顯得非常大。我們的月亮會經歷盈虧,每天都看起來有些差異。當整個月亮都被照亮時,稱之為滿月。當整個月亮都是暗的,我們稱之為新月。當只有圓形的一小邊緣發光時,它稱作眉月或殘月。當眉月或殘月升起時,我們偶爾可以看見一起特別的事件。
