自然摄影师和其他地球爱好者总是期待着蓝色时刻的到来。这是黎明时分的过渡,日出之前或日落之后,太阳在地平线以下,但大地和天空仍然充满了美丽的蓝光。在8月21日日落之后,这张蓝时的照片捕捉到了满月在意大利科尔蒂纳丹佩佐崎岖的意大利阿尔卑斯山上与太阳相对升起的景象。安泰劳山的岩石金字塔,也被称为白云石之王,与天空分享着蓝色的色调,是该地区著名的高山山峰。月光是黄色的,但即便如此,这个满月也被一些人称为季节性的蓝月亮。这是因为根据一种定义,一个季节中有四个满月的第三个满月被称为蓝月亮。将一个季节定义为冬至和春分之间的时间,这个季节的第四次满月将在9月20日的蓝时升起,就在9月的春分之前。

Nature photographers and other fans of planet Earth always look forward to the blue hour. That's the transition in twilight, just before sunrise or after sunset, when the Sun is below the horizon but land and sky are still suffused with a beautiful blue light. After sunset on August 21, this blue hour snapshot captured the nearly full Moon as it rose opposite the Sun, above the rugged Italian Alps from Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. Sharing bluish hues with the sky, the rocky pyramid of Monte Antelao, also known as the King of the Dolomites, is the region's prominent alpine peak. The moonlight is yellow, but even so this full Moon was known to some as a seasonal Blue Moon. That's because by one definition the third full Moon of a season with four full moons in it is called a Blue Moon. Recognizing a season as the time between a solstice and an equinox, this season's fourth full Moon will be rising in the blue hour of September 20, just before September's equinox.
