Tianyu will stage the two celestial phenomena of Venus conjunction Moon and Mars opposition, what pr

According to astronomical experts, the two celestial phenomena of "Venus conjunction" and "Mars opposition" will be staged on October 14. That is to say, if the weather is good on the 14th, we can not only enjoy the "star and moon fairy tale", but also see the "super bright" Mars.

Mars opposes the Sun and the Sun is a common astronomical phenomenon once every 26 months, Mars and the Sun are on opposite sides of the Earth, and Mars will appear brighter if the stars are in a straight line. It's also the best time to observe Mars. And on this day, as soon as the sun goes down, Mars will rise in the east; As soon as Mars sets, the sun rises again; In the middle of the night, Mars will be overhead.

The conjunction of Venus and the Moon is very ornamental. Zhao Zhiheng, an expert in astronomical education, said that when the weather is good, in the morning in the low eastern sky, you can see a small silvery-white crescent visible to the naked eye next to Venus, which is as bright as a pearl, and the two celestial bodies are very close to each other.

Zhao Zhiheng also added that because the "opposition" is close to the "big opposition", the viewing effect will be better than before.

On that day, Mars will rise after sunset and will be visible almost all night, with a brightness of magnitude, brighter than Jupiter (magnitude) that night.

Of course, the "super-bright" Mars will not only be visible on the night of the 14th, but will also be seen up close throughout October.

As long as the weather is fine, after dark, the interested public in our country will see that Mars is like a red gem set in the sky, shining and beautiful.

Why is there a Venus conjunction? Whenever a planet in the solar system orbits on the same ecliptic longitude as the moon, it will be very close to the moon, an astronomical phenomenon called a "conjunction". Among the planetary conjunctions, the Venus conjunction is the most ornamental.

Although it looks like it has been "together" for a month, it is not actually together. The two planets are still at least tens of millions of kilometers apart, but they are closer than usual.

If there are conditions for stargazing, you can naturally equip yourself with professional astronomical observation equipment. If you don't have one, go to the store and buy sunglasses and other basic equipment to protect your eyes, and bring a professional star map to observe when the weather is good.

However, in late October, there will be an Orionid meteor shower.

Personally, I think that if you want to watch these two celestial phenomena, you must first ensure that the weather in the viewing place is clear, find a good place in advance to watch the celestial phenomena, and if you want to see more clearly, you can go away from the city lights and wine, and you can see a lot of stars, such as grasslands, seashores, mountains and other places to watch. If you can, you can prepare an astronomical telescope or a regular telescope with night observations, and if you want to record this wonderful moment, of course, don't forget to bring a high-pixel mobile phone or camera!

Choose a good location, bring good equipment, etc. Because observing astronomical phenomena requires a good geographical location; Professional equipment provides a clearer and more accurate viewing angle.

Get your astronomical telescope ready. For stargazing, it is necessary to choose a favorable and open location, set up an astronomical telescope, debug it clearly, and prepare for stargazing.

The best time to observe the conjunction of Venus is in the early morning of October 14, while the best time to observe Mars at opposition is throughout October.

On October 12, some astronomical experts introduced that on October 14, there will be two major celestial phenomena of "Venus conjunction" and "Mars opposition", if the weather is fine, the public in China can enjoy the "star and moon fairy tale" in the morning, and then enjoy the "super bright" Mars at night.

What is Venus-Moon conjunction and Mars opposition? Let's take a look.

First of all, Venus conjunct the Moon, that is, Venus and the Moon are exactly on the same longitude, and the distance between the two reaches the closest, which is one of the celestial phenomena of the planetary conjunction Moon. Venus conjunction Moon is the best viewing effect in the planetary conjunction Moon celestial phenomena except for Jupiter conjunction Moon. Venus is the closest planet to Earth, with a radius 300 kilometers less than Earth.

When Venus rises in the east before dawn, it was called "Morning Star" in ancient China; When Venus appeared in the west after dusk, it was called "Chang Geng Star" in ancient China. The Venus-Moon conjunction occurs approximately every 30 days. When Venus is the morning star, the frequency is the same.

As long as the Moon catches up with Venus once, it is a Venusian conjunction with the Moon. When Venus, the Moon, and the Earth line up in a straight line, there is a possibility of a "lunar occultation of Venus". The "Venus conjunction" celestial phenomenon generally occurs around 7 p.m., but at this time, the position of the Moon and Venus itself is close to the horizon, which is easy to be obscured by mountains and tall buildings, and Venus is not easy to find in the sky, so it can often be seen when the weather is good.

Let's take a look at Mars at the Sun, which refers to the celestial phenomenon when the Earth is between Mars and the Sun, and the apparent yellow longitude difference between Mars and the Sun is 180 degrees. At this time, Mars and the Sun are located on opposite sides of the Earth, and Mars rises in the east as soon as the sun sets, and Mars does not set in the west until the sun rises in the east, so Mars can be observed all night. Generally speaking, Mars is closer to Earth at opposition and its brightest brightness of the year.

It's not uncommon for two celestial scenes to be staged on the same day, have you ever seen this rare celestial phenomenon?

On October 14th, Tianyu will be staged"Venus conjunct the Moon"with"Mars at opposition"The two celestial phenomena, if the weather is fine, can be seen in the low sky in the east, see the tiny crescent moon appear next to the bright pearl Venus, reflecting each other; As soon as the sun sets, Mars rises in the east as it sets, and bright Mars can be seen throughout the night.

The Venus conjunction and Mars opposition will occur simultaneously on October 14. If the weather is clear, people can see the stars and moon fairy tales during the day, and then the super bright Mars at night.

A shining crescent moon can be seen next to Venus, and a Martian ruby is shining in the sky.

Venus conjunct the Moon and Mars opposition is a rare sight to see, as Mars rises after sunset, and when you face the eastern sky, you can see Mars like a red gem set in the sky. Extremely beautiful and spectacular.

Both of these celestial phenomena are natural celestial phenomena, Venus and the Moon orbit at very close distances, as if they are next to the Moon, and Mars opposes Mars at 180 degrees to the Sun.

In the low eastern sky, I saw a small crescent moon appearing next to Venus, which was as bright as a pearl; After sunset, Mars will rise, and facing the eastern sky, you will see Mars set like a red gem in the sky.
