天體連珠:今晚可見月球、金星與昴宿星團
Celestial Alignment: Moon, Venus, and Pleiades Visible Tonight
2026年4月19日,夜空將上演一場美麗的天文盛事,主角包括眉月、金星與昴宿星團。
On April 19, 2026, the night sky will host a beautiful celestial event featuring a waxing crescent Moon, Venus, and the Pleiades star cluster.
若要獲得最佳觀測效果,請在日落後約30至90分鐘前往戶外,向西方地平線眺望。
For the best view, head outside about 30 to 90 minutes after sunset and look toward the western horizon.
屆時您將看見一彎細緻的眉月(照明度僅9-11%),在明亮的金星旁閃爍。
You will see a delicate Moon, just 9–11% illuminated, glowing beside the brilliant planet Venus.
鄰近的昴宿星團,又稱「七姊妹」,將呈現為一抹柔和且閃爍的光斑。
Nearby, the Pleiades, or "Seven Sisters," will appear as a soft, glittering patch of light.
雖然用肉眼即可輕易看見月球與金星,但使用雙筒望遠鏡將能觀察到更多細節,例如月球暗面微弱的地照現象。
While the Moon and Venus are easily visible to the naked eye, using binoculars will reveal more detail, such as the faint earthshine on the Moon’s dark surface.
雙筒望遠鏡也能協助您辨識昴宿星團中個別的恆星,該星團距離地球445光年。
Binoculars also help you distinguish individual stars in the Pleiades, a cluster located 445 light-years away.
如果您手部夠穩定且天空夠黑,甚至可能在附近發現天王星。
If you have steady hands and dark skies, you might even spot Uranus nearby.
