A rare blood moon will be seen across all of New Zealand on Friday.
周五，新西兰全境将出现罕见的血月。
Stardome astronomer Josh Aoraki told RNZ a blood moon, or lunar eclipse, is when the moon passes through the earth’s shadow, called the penumbra, creating a “red hue” – hence the name.
Stardome 天文学家 Josh Aoraki 告诉 RNZ，血月或月食是指月亮穿过地球的阴影，称为半影，产生“红色色调”——因此得名。

Aoraki said the eclipse will reach totality between 8pm and 8:30pm Friday.
奥拉基说，日食将在周五晚上 8 点至 8 点 30 分之间达到全食。
He said it will be able to be seen with the naked eye, but if you have a camera, telescope or binoculars it would be worth bringing those along.
他说，它将能够用肉眼看到，但如果你有相机、望远镜或双筒望远镜，那么值得带上它们。
The moon will rise in the east after sunset, so Aoraki’s advice to see the moon is to look towards the eastern horizon, or head to a beach on the east coast.
日落后，月亮会在东方升起，因此Aoraki看月亮的建议是看向东方的地平线，或前往东海岸的海滩。
However, weather would play the biggest factor in whether you can see the blood moon.
然而，天气将是你是否能看到血月的最大因素。
Luckily, MetService is forecasting a “mainly fine” Friday for most of the country, with isolated showers about Bay of Plenty and Coromandel. While the South Island, the West Coast is forecast to experience a few showers, turning to rain in Fiordland, and isolated showers in Otago and Southland, clearing later on.
幸运的是，MetService 预测该国大部分地区周五将“基本晴朗”，丰盛湾和科罗曼德附近有孤立的阵雨。而南岛和西海岸预计将出现几场阵雨，峡湾地区转为降雨，奥塔哥和南部地区将有孤立的阵雨，稍后会放晴。
The last blood moon occurred in 2022, however, this year there will be two blood moons, so if you miss tomorrows lunar eclipse, you’ll get another chance later this year.
上一次血月发生在 2022 年，但是，今年将有两次血月，所以如果你错过了明天的月食，你将在今年晚些时候获得另一个机会。
