@All astronomy enthusiasts, the most important astronomy of this year is here! According to the astronomical phenomena broadcast released by Shanghai Planetarium , on November 8, we will have the opportunity to enjoy the extremely rare html January total eclipse covering Uranus . Once you miss it, you have to wait for another 2322 years!
Shi Wei, Director of the Network Popular Science Department of Shanghai Planetarium and Deputy Secretary-General of Shanghai Astronomical Society, introduced that the last total lunar eclipse visible in China was January 31, 2018, and the next time was September 8, 2025. The moon covers Uranus because the visible range is very limited, so it varies from place to place. As for Shanghai, the next observable moon cover Uranus will be until February 27, 2068. If the total lunar eclipse happens to cover Uranus by chance, the next time it appears may have to wait until August 8, 4344. That is more than 2,300 years away, so this opportunity must be seized! "You don't want to miss such a rare astronomical phenomenon. Please write down the following points: ⏰ At around 17:00 on November 8, the moon rose from the eastern horizon. ⏰ 17:08, the initial loss. The shadow of the earth will gradually invade from the lower left edge of the moon. ⏰18:16, the food begins. When you enter the total eclipse stage, you can see a red moon. ⏰18:59, the food is very good. That is, when the moon is darkest, the good show will be staged. If you have a telescope, you will find that there is a star in the lower left of the moon, which is slightly blue and white. It will gradually penetrate behind the red moon. It is Uranus, we call it the moon covering Uranus. It needs to be reminded that this moment varies from place to place. For example, in Shanghai it is 19:11, in Beijing it is 19:22, and in Harbin it is 19:36.
⏰ 19:42, light is generated. The left edge of the moon begins to shine slightly. ⏰ 20:08 (Shanghai area), Uranus emerged from behind the moon. At this time, the moon had "recovered blood" for 40%. Uranus seemed very dark and weak in front of him, and it was much more difficult to observe. ⏰ 20:49, the moon is round. Observation of a lunar eclipse is relatively easy. Whether it is naked-eye observation, camera photography, or telescope, it is a feasible method. Again, reminder: You can observe it from 5 pm on November 8, and you must choose a place with a low and open terrain in the east. The whole process can be seen in the northeast, eastern and southeastern regions of my country, and the moon can be seen in the west with eclipse. In addition to lunar eclipse, there is also a classic meteor shower - Leo meteor shower . However, Shi Wei introduced that since the outbreak in 2001, the Leo meteor shower There is no decent performance anymore, and this year is likely to be 20 to 30 per hour (ZHR). This meteor shower is extremely heavy in the early morning of November 18. The bad news for observers is that the moon on the 18th happened to be in Leo , which has a huge impact on observation. Avoid its edge, you can pay attention to the north and southwest direction. In November, Mars is getting brighter and brighter, entering the best viewing period of the year, and it rises at six or seven o'clock in the evening. There is a clear red highlight in the sky, I believe you won't miss it!
