Good Morning Moon

Explanation: Yesterday, the Moon was New. But on January 9, early morning risers around planet Earth were treated to the sight of an old Moon, low in the east as the sky grew bright before dawn. Above the city of Saarburg in Rhineland-Palatinate, western Germany, this simple snapshot found the waning Moon’s sunlit crescent just before sunrise. But also never wandering far from the Sun in Earth’s sky, inner planets Venus and Mercury shared the cold morning skyview. In the foreground are the historic city’s tower and castle with ruins from the 10th century.

说明: 昨天适逢新月（农历初一）。然而在1月9日，世界各地早起的人们所见到的，却是渐亮天空中低悬在东方的残月。例如于这幅记录德国西部莱茵兰-华尔茨州萨尔堡市天空的影像里，即可见到日出前的一抺蛾眉月。除此之外，还可见到在地球天空中，总是徘徊在太阳附近的内行星─金星与水星，共同分享了这片严寒的清晨美景。这幅影像的前景为这座历史名城的塔楼和城堡，以及来自十世纪的废墟。
