1332. Red Moon
The Blood Moon appears at 7 p.m. and reaches its climax at 8:30 p.m., when the entire moon turns brownish-red.
Qin Shiou drove back to the fishing ground and returned, many people on the streets around the basketball court were laughing with wine bottles, this time there was no DJ dancing, although the venue was noisy, but it was not very noisy.
After getting out of the car and looking around, the people who came to the party were dressed strangely, most of them were dressed as werewolves, but Qin Shiou always felt that these people were wearing dog head masks.
Seeing Qin Shiou, Hughes came up to greet him and said, "Hey, man, why are you here?" As he spoke, he looked at it with a look of surprise on his face, "You're going to play like this?" It's a theme party. ”
Qin Shiou has now figured it out, the theme party is similar to cosplay, the organizer gives a theme, if everyone likes to participate, then they have to respond to this theme, otherwise there will be punishment.
Qin Shiou shrugged his shoulders and said, "How do you play then?" Dress up kobolds with you guys? ”
A townsman passing by said dissatisfiedly: ", Qin, I feel insulted!" What is a kobold called? We're werewolves! Whoa! ”
"Who said we were kobolds?"
"Fake, look at that bastard Qin, is he here to find excitement?"
"Don't say it, go up and fuck him, what about that bastard little Hughes? He liked this thing the most. ”
The people next to him surrounded them with bad intentions, and Qin Shiou pointed at them and said, "Hey, listen to me, don't mess around." I know it's a themed party, and I'm just as prepared......"
As he spoke, he opened the door of the back seat of the pickup. A white figure jumped down nimbly, shook his fur and raised his head and shouted, "Wow, Wow......"
The smug smile on Qin Shiou's face suddenly disappeared. He turned around and pulled the little radish head and scolded: "Stupid, you are a wolf!" You're a wolf! You can't call it that, you know? ”
The white wolf is brought up by the tiger and the leopard, although Lalawang always bullies it, but the two sides look similar, the little radish head has always regarded himself as Lalawang before seeing his parents, so he studied hard and learned Lalawang's cry.
Facing Qin Shiou's reproach, the little white wolf leaned forward with a shy face. The white tail curls up and wags it......
The person next to him laughed, and someone said, "Qin, you are a dog, not a wolf, haha, what are you bringing a dog for?" ”
"Lao Tzu, this is a wolf!" Qin Shiou glared at him, and the tiger and leopard also came out of the back seat, and saw the little radish head licking his hand affectionately. Follow up and lick it.
The shirtless little Hughes came up and handed Qin Shiou a bottle of beer, and said, "Are you planning to provoke our party?" ”
Qin Shiou said: "Lao Tzu is also in line with this theme, do you see?" Three wolves, Lao Tzu is a wolf shepherd! ”
Hughes Jr. smiled disdainfully. Just as he was about to chase after him, someone shouted, "Hey guys, look." The moon is out! ”
"Where? Give me the binoculars, hurry, hurry! Little Hughes immediately shook off Qin Shiou and rushed towards the telescope placed in the center of the venue.
Qin Shiou looked at the eastern sky. It wasn't completely dark yet, and the sunset was still shining in the west. But at this time, the moon is at its fullest, and it can still be seen as far away from the earth.
The moon has not yet entered the earth's umbra, so there has not been a total lunar eclipse, and the red moon is nowhere to be seen.
To see the Red Moon, you have to wait until the Moon enters the Earth's umbra, which is formed by the scattering of light.
As we all know, sunlight is a mixture of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet rays, while yellow, green, blue and other colors have relatively short light waves, and they are greatly affected by scattering in the atmosphere. Red light has a longer wavelength and is less affected by scattering, and can penetrate through the atmosphere and refract to the moon hiding behind the Earth's shadow.
But not every total lunar eclipse can give birth to a red moon, which is related to the refractive index of the atmosphere, and only at certain times is the filtering effect so strong that the red moon can be seen.
Qin Shiou found Winnie and Shaq and sat together, drinking beer and eating the food everyone brought, slowly waiting for the blood moon to come into the air.
It didn't take long to wait for the figure to slowly dim as the moon moved, and then it seemed to enter a pool of red dye, and the moon disappeared from this side and peeked out from that side, and then it took on a brownish-red color.
"Wow, it's beautiful." Winnie said, "Come, let's raise a glass to the beautiful red moon." ”
At this time, most of the people raised their glasses, raised their heads and howled wolves.
The little radish head who was wandering around was startled when he heard the wolf's howl like a ghost, and hurriedly drilled into Qin Shiou's arms. Qin Shiou pushed it out and said helplessly: "You scream, scream, you are a wolf!" ”
The tiger and the leopard were lying on the ground, and when they saw that the people were looking up and howling, they also got up, raised their heads and barked stupidly at the moon. Of course, this has nothing to do with blood moons, they are just people going crazy and joining in the fun.
The little radish head closed its mouth tightly, and the tiger and leopard barked as they liked, and they stuck into Winnie's arms.
Winnie hugged it and smiled, "It's okay if the little radish doesn't bark, if someone recognizes it as a Newfoundland white wolf, it will be troublesome." ”
The little turnip head usually behaves low-key, and the people in the town have always thought that it is a big white dog, although it has a standard wolf face, but it does not have the fierce aura of a wolf, and the people in the town do not associate it with the wolf.
Qin Shiou was greatly disappointed and said, "I thought the wolf would really howl at the moon chief when the moon is full." ”
Bird, who was drinking next to him, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course not, wolves are just used to howling at night, gathering their kind or looking for mates, or intimidating their opponents and scaring them away with their howls." The reason why there are rumors that wolves will howl at the moon is because there were no lights before, and people could only see the scene of wolves howling at night when the moon was empty. ”
The howls of the crowd came one after another, and the sound of 'woo' continued to sound, mixed with the sound of 'Wangwang', which was naturally a tiger and a leopard fishing in troubled waters in the middle.
When someone adjusted the telescope to the moon, Qin Shiou hurriedly squeezed in to take a look, he was strong and flexible, Xiao Hughes and the others couldn't squeeze him, so they could only scold angrily.
Qin Shiou didn't care, he looked at the moon with his head stuffy, Butler said that his telescope was a hundred times larger, and he could clearly see the details on the moon, Qin Shiou looked at it at this time, it was indeed like this, and the direct entry was a crater, which was very clear.
However, the magnification is too high for the telescope to shake, otherwise the eyepiece will be gray and you will not be able to see anything clearly. (To be continued......)
