In the early morning of the 15th, Saturn's performance rushed to the sun!You can still see "Jupiter Moon" that night

Astronomical enthusiasts can be full of eyes these days.

The reporter learned from the Beijing Astronomical Museum that from August 15th to 18th, Tianyu will have sky phenomena such as Saturn, Jupiter Moon, and Venus Ghost Star.

On August 15th, Saturn, who has the reputation of "Ring Ring", will bring a performance in Japan. If the weather is fine, everyone can see the wonders of the "Saturn in the Saturn" from the evening of the 14th to 15th.

What is "Saturn's Rink"? It turns out that the relationship between Saturn and the location of the sun and the earth during the operation of Saturn is constantly changing. When the earth is running between the foreign planet and the sun, Saturn, the earth, and the sun are on a straight line. The celestial body is far away, one by one. In terms of astronomical terms, the yellow meridian of this foreign planet and the sun is 180 degrees, and at this time it is "Saturn to the sun."

According to Yang Jing, a member of the Chinese Astronomical Society and a director of the Tianjin Astronomical Society, Saturn this year occurred at 1:10 on August 15th. During the day, Saturn is located in Capricorn with a brightness of 0.3. After the sun falls on August 14, Saturn will rise from the east part of the east, passing the sky around the middle of the night, and falling in the south of the west during the sunrise. It can be seen all night.

On August 15th, Jupiter will also occur in the night sky. The specific time is 17:42. The moon three days after the full moon rose from the East Horizon more than two hours after the sunset. Jupiter was located above the moon and was less than 3 degrees apart. Jupiter's brightness at this time was -2.8, which was very bright, located at the junction of whale seats and Pisces.

On August 18, the night sky will occur in Venus. The ghost star is a degenerative star group in Cancer. Under the ideal conditions of the weather, the naked eye looks a vague light. It is also a ghost of the traditional 28th place in China, so it is called a ghost star group. The star group can see dozens of stars in the small telescope, which looks like a honeycomb, so it is also known as the Honeycomb Star Group.

On August 18th, Venus runs to the nearby ghost star group, only about half a degree from the center of the star group, forming the natural phenomenon of the Venus Ghost Star. About an hour and a half before sunrise, Venus rose from the horizon north of the east, and the brightness was near -4. Because Venus rose shortly after the rise, the height of the horizon of Venus and Ghost Star was relatively low, and it was difficult to observe.
