The best time to enjoy the moon during the Lantern Festival

Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and everyone can enjoy the moon. Anyway, they stay at home and can enjoy the moon through the window if they have nothing to do. Here is the best time to enjoy the moon, and the national strategy to enjoy the moon. Let's go and have a look with Bian Xiao.

The best time to enjoy the moon in the Lantern Festival every year is to watch lanterns and solve riddles on lanterns, and also to enjoy the most beautiful and round moon. However, the most round time of the moon is different every year, so when is the most round time of the Lantern Festival this year? According to astronomical knowledge, the viewing time of the full moon in the Lantern Festival in 2020 is 65438+9 at 05: 33.

After welcoming beginning of spring on the 4th, the Lantern Festival will be held on the 8th, which is the first full moon night of the Lunar Year of the Rat. "The sky is round and the place is full, and the world in Wan Li is bright". Astronomical experts said that the Lantern Festival in 2020 ushered in the "Sixteenth Moon in May", following the "15th Moon in October" on 20 17, 20 18, and 20 19 for three consecutive years, and the most round moment appeared at 9 15: 33.

Why is the date of the full moon in the lunar calendar not fixed? Astronomy education expert and director of Tianjin Astronomical Society explained that the moon revolves around the earth as a "new moon" (around January of the lunar calendar), and the roundest day of the moon in this month is called "Wang" or "Full Moon". It takes about 29 and a half days for the moon to "walk" from one full moon to the next.

Only when the longitude difference between the moon and the sun is 180 degrees, and the positions of the moon and the sun are completely opposite to the earth, can the full moon be seen. But the moon's orbit around the earth is an ellipse, with a maximum of 360,000 kilometers and a maximum of 400,000 kilometers. Because the "pace" of the moon's rotation is fast and slow, the time of "looking" is also different every month. The 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th lunar months are all possible, and the 15th and 16th lunar months are mostly the cases.

"Because the moon will arrive at perigee at 4 o'clock on February 1 1 day, this year's Lantern Festival looks even bigger. Although it is' the fifteenth moon and the sixteenth round', it does not affect people to enjoy the moon on the Lantern Festival. On the evening of the 8 th, the round and round moon is as pleasing to the eye. " Zhao Zhi Heng said.

"In this special period, we may only enjoy this round of Lantern Festival on our own balcony, but everyone can' I send my blessing and bright moon' to cheer for Wuhan and the motherland." Zhao Zhi Heng said.

In China, Lantern Festival is also a reunion festival, and there is a tradition of enjoying the moon. Whether we can see the Lantern Festival depends on whether the weather is fine or not. According to the forecast of China Weather Network's Moon Appreciation Index, on the day of Lantern Festival, most of China, Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shanxi, Henan, Shandong, Hubei, Jiangsu, Fujian, Guangdong and other places will see the beautiful moon when they look up. Guizhou, Sichuan, Chongqing, Hunan, Guangxi and other places have more clouds in the sky, and some areas have precipitation, so they will not be able to watch the Lantern Festival and the bright moon. Friends in Tibet, Yunnan, Jiangxi, Anhui, Zhejiang, Shanghai and other places will be able to enjoy the colorful clouds chasing the moon.

On the evening of February 9 this year (the 16th day of the first lunar month), the degree of full moon in all places can reach 99.6%-99.7%, which is more round than the 99.3%-99.4% of Yuanxiao. According to the forecast, from the night of the 9th to the early morning of 10, the precipitation range in China will be reduced, only Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Chongqing and northern Heilongjiang have no bright moon, Xinjiang, Tibet, Qinghai, Heilongjiang and Hainan have dim moonlight, and most areas in the central and eastern regions will enjoy the "Super Lantern Festival".

China is a vast country, and the best time to enjoy the moon varies from place to place. Northeast China started early this month, while southwest China started late. Generally speaking, at noon on the moon, the height angle of the moon is the largest, and the atmosphere it passes through is the thinnest, which makes the moonlight the brightest. This is usually considered as the best time to enjoy the moon.

This year's Lantern Festival snacks (from the night of February 8 to the early morning of the 9 th), 26 provincial cities in China can enjoy the Lantern Festival moon, and the transit time of the moon is mostly between 23: 00 and the early morning of the next day 1: 00. The earliest provincial capital city is Harbin, 23:00 13, and the latest provincial capital city is Urumqi, and the next day 1: 56.

However, for the public, in fact, the best viewing time of "Yuanxiao Moon" is very particular.

For friends who watch the moon visually on the balcony, the best time to enjoy the moon is to wait until midnight when it gets dark. At this time, the height of the moon is more suitable; Looking at the moon with the naked eye, you don't have to wait until the mid-day of the moon. At that time, although the moon was more round, the height of the moon was too high, and you might have to twist your neck to enjoy it.

If you are a photographer, the best shooting time is from the current month to one hour after the current month. At this time, you can take photos of the combination of the moon and the ground landscape with a long focal length lens and telescope. The photos taken at this time are shocking and artistic. The later the time, the more difficult it is to compose a long focal length lens. When the moon rises, you can only take this kind of artistic picture with a wide-angle lens. And the best time to shoot the full moon should be "15 moons and 16 circles"

On the evening of February 9 (the 16th day of the first lunar month).

For those who want to watch all kinds of magical moons on the moon through a telescope, it is best to use the telescope at 8:00- 1 1:00 in the evening, because the moon will be less disturbed by the atmosphere after it rises, and the images in the telescope will be clearer. If you shoot when the moon is low, you will encounter strong atmospheric jitter and you can't see the structure on the moon clearly.
