Astronomy Science Popularization Experts introduced that in the early morning of May 25th,
Jupiter, Mars and the waning moon will work together to stage the wonderful drama of "double stars accompany the moon".
What is interesting is that
will form a "cute smiley face" in the sky.
Since early April this year, the five planets, Jupiter, Neptune, Venus, Mars, and Saturn, began to "crowd" at the low altitudes southeast of
before dawn.
If the weather is sunny, except Neptune, the other four planets will be visible to the naked eye.
Member of the Chinese Astronomical Society and
Director of Tianjin Astronomical Society Yang Jing introduced that in April and May, the five planets
traveled through the southeast sky before dawn, and
"close" to each other happens from time to time.
In late May, the moon runs to the sky at dawn, and
meets the planets in turn.
25, in the early morning of the 25th day of the April lunar month,
is accompanied by Jupiter and Mars at close range.
If the weather is good,
In the early morning of that day,
within about one and a half hours before dawn,
The public who are interested in and able to get up early in my country will see it facing the southeast sky.
In the slight morning light,
A waning moon is like a silver hook hanging obliquely,
is like a boat swaying.
This is the "Double Stars Companion Moon" celestial wonder taken in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya on December 1, 2008. The moon, Venus and Jupiter appeared in the night sky at the same time, and it looked like a smiling face from a distance. (Photo by Xinhua News Agency reporter Xu Suhui)
, and not far from the upper left of the moon, there are two bright stars close to each other. The one that is brighter on the left side of
is Jupiter,
brightness-2.2, etc.,
The other darker is Mars,
brightness 0.7, etc.,
, and
, which form a "cute smiling face".
Since Mars is darker than Jupiter,
Therefore, in this "cute smiley face",
has a bright "eye" and
has a slightly darker "eye".
It is understood that
"double stars accompany the moon" astronomical phenomena are very common,
but it can catch up with the moon phases or crescent moons with crescent phases, and
is not often the case when
is "grin" again.
"If you want to watch and take a picture of this 'cute smiley face',
is best to choose a place with a wide view in the southeast direction,
has no buildings blocking and light pollution;
If you are observing in the city,
is affected by the city lights that permeate the sky,
may not be easy to find Mars,
can only see Jupiter accompanying the moon,
However, because Jupiter is very bright,
This scene of 'star and moon fairy tale' is also very exciting."
said Yang Jing.
