　2020年夏至台灣將出現日環食，這將是大部分台灣人此生唯一觀賞日環食的機會，而且不需要出國。這一次環食帶由嘉義進入台灣後由台東出海，下一次的日環食則是2215年才能再看到，池上鄉把握此難得的天文奇景，準備迎接有聖人光環之稱的日環蝕，在鄉長帶領下，全鄉近千人在去年１２／２１就舉辦大遊行，並且出動空拍機在大坡池拍攝日環蝕宣傳片，雖然新冠肺炎疫情影響，但是台東縱谷相對人煙稀少且目前台東未有確診病例，相信6/21在大坡池舉辦的戶外活動，還是會吸引天文愛好者前往，池上鄉公所今天在大坡池國家風景區舉辦「2020池上金黃稻穗日環食」活動啟動儀式，饒縣長在致詞時也邀請大家到池上賞風景、嚐美食。

Summer Harvest and Annular Solar Eclipse in
Chihshang
Sun Shines in Chihshang and Food brings Good Fortune
The astronomical wonder "annular solar eclipse" is coming to Chihshang! In the summer solstice of 2020, the eclipse path will pass through Taitung. At 11:30 a.m. on June 21st, Chihshang Township Office will hold the event "2020 Chihshang Golden Rice and Annular Solar Eclipse" in Dapochih Wetland National Scenic Area: professional astronomical docents are invited to enjoy the rare astronomical wonder together with visitors.
According to legend, in ancient times when a solar eclipse occurred, people thought that it was the fierce star Tengu (Sky Dog) who was going to eat the sun, so they would beat gongs and sound drums to scare Sky Dog away. On the day of the "2020 Chihshang Golden Rice and Annular Solar Eclipse" event, professional docents will be invited to the event to explain the situation of "Tengu eats the sun". The Chairman of the Taitung Astronomical Association Yi-Ching Yang said: "This year's annular solar eclipse will start at 2:51 p.m. and end at 5:26 p.m. The covered area will be about 98% of the sun. During the maximum eclipse (the moon blocks in the middle of the sun), a saint corona will form. In Taiwan, the opportunity to see the annular solar eclipse again will be 200 years later." In order to capture the astronomical wonder that can only be seen once in a hundred years, the Chihshang Township Mayor Yao-Chen Chang took the slogan “summer harvest and annular solar eclipse in Chihshang, with the best luck to see the holy light" to call for everyone to gather in Chihshang to enjoy the astronomical wonder in the beautiful island.
