Glimpse of 'ring of fire' 夏至日上演超级日环食 People in quite a few places in China witnessed on Sunday the most anticipated celestial event of the year, an annular solar eclipse, but if they missed it they will have to wait another 10 years to see the next one. 6月21日,我国多地的民众见证了今年最令人期待的天文事件——日环食,但如果你错过了这次机会,下一次日环食要等上十年。 This spectacular event happened to occur on the heels of the summer solstice, when the northern hemisphere saw its longest day and shortest night of the year. 此次日环食发生的时间正逢夏至节气,在夏至日,北半球迎来一年中白昼最长而夜晚最短的一天。 |
