Smile of Night Sky!

Special and funny "smile of night sky"!








photo source: Taipei Astronomical Museum

If you went out last night, about 18:00, you could see this gorgeous astromical phenomenon!

The "left eye", which was the brightest star, is Venus. And, the "right eye", is Jupiter. But if you didn't see it at last night, you can't see it on today anymore. Because the planets will move, that is, today we will see that smile face become a face of "Bao Cing Tian "(who was the famous official in Sung Dynasty). We called that because the "curve lips"(Waxing Crescent moon) turn to a mark on the forehead, which Bao Cing Tian had it on his forehead.

Also, I want to introduce a website:

Taipei Astronomical Muesum http://www.tam.gov.tw/

It has many information about astronomy inside, for example, special astronomical phenomena, activities and plenty knowledge about astronomy.

If you want to get more about astronomy, it can helps you!!
