The rare seven star alignment is about to be staged, how to interpret the bad omen in the eyes of

The alignment of the seven stars is just a rare natural phenomenon, and the bad omen in the eyes of the ancients has no scientific basis, and is made up by the ruler in order to maintain his rule.

The astronomical spectacle of Seven Stars is about to take place, which will last for three days. Since the permutations and combinations in the sky in the solar system are random. The alignment will appear in the early hours of the morning, with Saturn, Neptune, Jupiter, Mars, Uranus, Venus and Mercury rising in the night sky.

Mercury reaches a solar elongation of 23 degrees at its greatest western elongation, which is the best chance to observe Mercury for the fourth time this year, with the appearance of the celestial phenomenon of Mercury's greatest western elongation. Seven stars will converge on the west side of the Sun, and they will line up in a southeast direction just before sunrise. Start from the south and look in the direction of the sunrise in the east.

In ancient times, the alignment of the seven stars was hailed as a bad omen, because the science and technology at that time were very backward, and the ability to explore the starry sky was extremely lackingTherefore, when people in ancient times encountered the wonders of the celestial phenomena, it was easy to combine them with the scenes in reality, and with the addition of feudal superstition, people's thinking was restricted. But in modern times, with the development of science and technology, people have a good explanation for the alignment of the seven stars, which is just a celestial phenomenon in nature, and there is no scientific basis for bad omen. Historically, the phenomenon of the seven-star alignment has appeared 39 times, and the average time of occurrence is 77 years, but this does not have much reference value, the last seven-star alignment appeared on May 5, 2000, and the seven-star alignment is different from this time, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, the moon and the sun constitute the seven stars.

Observation of the alignment of the stars. Astronomy enthusiasts can observe through a regular telescope or take pictures with a DSLR camera. Because the field of view of astronomical telescopes is small, the volume is relatively large, it is very inconvenient to move, and it is more troublesome to focus, so it is recommended not to use astronomical telescopes to observe the alignment of the seven stars.

In ancient Chinese books, the appearance of "Seven Stars Alignment" is often regarded as a "bad omen", as early as 206 BC there is a record of the Seven Stars Alignment, coincidentally in this year, the Qin Dynasty fell, and later some scholars have studied the literature and found that in 1059 BC there was also a celestial phenomenon of the Seven Stars Alignment, this year the Shang Dynasty fell, the Zhou Dynasty rose, such things combined, obviously with a fantasy coincidence. It's not scientific.

It may be said that I think this is the chaos in the world, and I still need to pay attention to natural disasters.

At Mercury's greatest western elongation, Saturn, Neptune, Jupiter, Mars, Uranus, Venus, and Mercury line up in the southeastern sky before sunrise, eventually forming a seven-star alignment.

Because the ancients did not know much about this astronomical phenomenon, and this phenomenon was very rare, the ancients thought that there were natural and man-made disasters, so it was regarded as a bad omen.

The "Seven Stars Alignment" is one of the most anticipated celestial phenomena of the year. In the eyes of the ancients, this rare celestial phenomenon was regarded as a bad omen, but in fact, there is no scientific basis for this. In addition, it is also unscientific to say that the "Seven Stars Alignment" appears every 77 years, for example, the last "Seven Stars Alignment" occurred on May 5, 2000, only 22 years after this celestial phenomenon.

The "Seven Stars Alignment" is just a celestial phenomenon in the natural world and has nothing to do with things in the human world.

According to the encyclopedia, from 1 to 3000 A.D., the phenomenon of the seven-star alignment occurred 39 times, which ranged from hundreds of years to twenty or thirty years, and appeared once in about 77 years on average.

Saturn, Neptune, Jupiter, Mars, Uranus, Venus and Mercury, this phenomenon is not difficult to understand, the planets of the solar system are all orbiting the sun, because their orbits and orbits are different, so the positions seen in the night sky are always varied.

And every once in a while, when Mercury comes to the position of the "western elongation", it happens that Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune also orbit to the west of the sun, then these planets will naturally form a line when you look at them on Earth. The phenomenon of the alignment of the seven stars was born.
