What’s the best way to photograph the lunar eclipse?

给月食拍照的最佳方法是什么？

　　To take a picture of the supermoon or the lunar eclipse with a smartphone, tap on the moon on the screen and hold your finger in place to lock the camera’s focus. Then adjust the exposure slider that appears next to your finger to get the right balance of light for your shot.

　　如果用智能手机拍摄超级月亮或月食的照片，可用手指在手机屏幕上轻点月亮，并保持一会儿，以便锁定对焦。然后调节出现在手指旁边的曝光滑块，获得拍摄照片合适的光平衡。

　　If you’re using a DSLR, NASA’s senior photographer Bill Ingalls recommends that you use the daylight white balance to adjust for the sunlight being reflected off the moon. He says that it’s important to keep in mind that the moon is a moving object: “It’s a balancing act between trying to get the right exposure and realizing that the shutter speed typically needs to be a lot faster.”

　　如果用数码单反相机，美国国家航空航天局高级摄影师比尔•英戈尔斯建议使用日光白平衡来调节月亮反射的太阳光。他说，重要的是记住月亮是移动的物体，“努力达到恰当曝光的同时也要知道快门速度需要比平时加快，这两者要小心兼顾”。

　　To get an original shot, Ingalls suggests taking a picture that puts the moon in context of a local landmark, something that gives your photo a sense of place. “Don’t make the mistake of photographing the moon by itself with no reference to anything,” say Ingalls. “Everyone will get that shot.”

　　要想拍到一张有创意的照片，英戈尔斯建议拍照时把月亮放在某个本地地标物的背景下，这个地标物可以让照片有一种地域感。他说：“不要在没有任何参照物的背景下单独拍月亮。那种照片谁都能拍。”

Do I need special glasses to watch the supermoon and lunar eclipse?

是否需要特殊的眼镜观测超级月亮和月食？

　　与日全食不同，月全食对于观赏器材的要求并不高。因此，观看月全食，你需要准备的是……在一个天气晴朗、看得见月亮的地方，吃饱穿暖，擦亮眼睛。

　　Unlike the solar eclipse, the supermoon and the lunar eclipse are safe to view with the naked eye. There’s nothing to worry about if you find yourself enthralled and staring up into the sky for a very long time. Except maybe your neck.

　　与日食不同，超级月亮和月食可以安全地用裸眼观测。如果你发现自己着迷地长时间凝望天空，不用担心什么。只是脖子可能会不舒服。
