八日凌晨月偏食 台灣看透透

Last night uring mid night, it appeared lunar eclipse. Long time ago in Taiwan, ancestros were not very well educated, they think that lunar eclipse was the dog ate the moon. We kept this same idea until present.

I saw on the news that at 2 A.M. wil have lunar eclipse. It was raining so hard and I wanted to get up of my bed and see it. I got up because Alan wanted to go to the bathroom. I saw and saw it but nothing happen to the moon. I di dnot wait any longer and I went to sleep.

According to the weather forecast experts saying that lunar eclipse will happen twice a year in Taiwan, but the truth is it won't happen. They just predicting.

This morning, i came to school, I asked people if they saw lunar eclipse, they told me when was that, they did not know. If I waited a little bit longer, I would see with my own eyes.

In the following there's a forecast report in Chinese.

從九月七日晚上跨越到九月八日凌晨，是農曆閏七月的中元夜，卻剛好碰到月偏食，有興趣的民眾可以全程觀看月圓又月缺，再復圓的全部過程。

中央氣象局表示，這次的月偏食將從八日凌晨二時五分三秒開始，月球約位於西南方天空仰角四十四度處，用肉眼就可以看到月亮從右上側開始出現缺角，逐漸沿著月球表面的右側向下擴展，在凌晨二時五十一分廿一秒缺角達到最大後，再慢慢縮小，在凌晨三時卅七分四十一秒，缺角完全消失，月亮復圓，全程歷時一小時卅二分卅八秒。

氣象局天文站主任鄭秀能表示，這次月偏食的最大食分為○．一八九，月球面積約有一一．五％被地球的影子遮住。

鄭秀能指出，每年約有二到五次月食現象發生，但因有的月食發生在白天，不是每次都可以看得到。
