大概半年前山大王開始對太陽系有進一步的認識 學校每次班上小朋友生日 都會讓壽星捧著地球(儀) 繞太陽(蠟燭)轉她/他生日的次數 山大王三歲和四歲生日時各"複習"過一次 四歲生日時山大王已經很清楚知道他繞的路線 就是模擬地球繞太陽叫"orbit" 山大王還是小北鼻時 我們買了Star的小百科 有時山大王會拿來要我們跟他一起看 他也帶去學校請老師分享給大家裡面的內容 就這樣他學會八大行星的名稱 媽咪爸鼻也常和他討論哪顆行星最大(Jupiter) 他最喜歡哪顆行星(Uranus) 還有哪顆不能成為行星了(Pluto) 媽咪也跟他說Saturn的第五顆月亮就是妹妹的名字啊 還有最近天氣熱太陽下山後 媽咪和兩隻在陽台乘涼時 一起欣賞天上最亮的星星:金星(Venus) 火熱閃亮的金星點燃夏夜日落後的謬思 以下就是StarDate對最近夏日星空的介紹摘要: July 12, 2007 As twilight fades, spot Venus, the "evening star," low in the west. Look just above it for much fainter Regulus, the brightest star of Leo, the lion. The planet Saturn is farther to the right of Venus. Venus, the dazzling morning or evening star, outshines all the other stars and planets in the night sky. It begins the year in the evening sky, low in the west shortly after sunset. It will move a little higher during spring and early summer, before dropping back and disappearing from view in early August. It will quickly scoot over to the morning sky, where it will reappear in late August. It will spend the rest of the year as the morning star. July 13, 2007 Venus, Saturn, and Regulus, the brightest star of Leo, the lion, congregate low in the west the next few evenings. They drop lower in the sky each night. This is the view about 45 minutes after sunset. [Tim Jones] Venus, Saturn, and Regulus II Fifty years can make a big difference in our understanding of the universe -- even of our own little bit of it, the solar system. Consider the planet Venus, which highlights the western evening sky this month. The planet is swaddled in thick clouds. A half-century ago, no one knew what was below the clouds, so the concepts of Venus were way off. Scientists didn't even know how fast the planet spins on its axis, so they didn't know the length of Venus's day. They found out when radio telescopes bounced signals off the planet's surface in the early 1960s. The radio waves acted like a radar gun, telling us that a day on Venus lasts about eight Earth months. Scientists knew that Venus was hot, but they didn't know how hot. Some still envisioned a steamy world of giant oceans. Others expected to find oceans of hydrocarbons. Since then, however, spacecraft have probed Venus's atmosphere and found that it's dense and toxic, with temperatures that top 850 degrees Fahrenheit. And they’ve used radar to peer through the clouds and map Venus's surface. They found that the surface is covered with thousands of volcanoes -- but no liquid of any kind. Look for Venus low in the west as darkness falls. It's the bright "evening star." The true star Regulus is just to its upper right this evening, with the planet Saturn a little farther to their right. The whole lineup will remain in view for several more evenings.
