凸出的月亮(A gibbous Moon)

61年前的今天，尤里·加加林（Yuri Gagarin）成为第一个从太空看到地球的人，他的视角与国际空间站拍摄的这张月亮逐渐变圆的图像相似。喊着“波耶卡利！”（出发！），加加林乘坐他的Vostok 3KA航天器进入近地轨道，在不到两小时的时间内完成了绕地球的完整飞行，创造了历史。在俄罗斯农村着陆后，他立即成为了世界名人——也就是说，在说服困惑的当地人他是一位同志而不是太空外星人之后。

Sixty-one years ago today, Yuri Gagarin became the first human to see Earth from space, with a view similar to this image of the waning gibbous Moon from the International Space Station. With a call of 'Poyekhali!' (Off we go!), Gagarin launched into low Earth orbit in his Vostok 3KA spacecraft, making history in less than two hours with a complete trip around the planet. Landing in rural Russia, he became an instant worldwide celebrity - that is, after convincing puzzled locals he was a comrade and not a space alien.
