Astronomical wonders
The astronomical feast of 2022 is coming, are you ready for your telescope? In fact, this feast only needs to be seen clearly with the naked eye, but you can grasp the time.
That's March 28th, before sunrise, if you're in the open, look southeast, yes you'll see 4 bright objects, they are the Moon, Venus, Mars and Saturn, which is the three-star moon.
Three stars with the moon
When it comes to the three-star moon, the reason why it is so rare is that we may be able to see that a planet appears with the moon every month, but three stars are in one direction at the same time, and they are so close to the sky, it is really difficult.
Taking the Earth under our feet as an example, do you think the Earth is stationary? No, it moves in the universe, with an average speed of about 30 kilometers per hour, and the solar system to which the Earth belongs is also moving, and the sun carries this big son and travels through the Milky Way at a rapid pace, so remember that your position is changing all the time.
Why rare
In the same way, planets with different masses are subject to different gravitational pulls, rotation and rotation are not the same, in this case, even if they are moving around the sun, it will still take us several years to see that the two celestial bodies are in the nearest position, which is called perigee by astronomers, that is, the closest position of the target object and the Earth.
Because the Earth and other planets are in constant motion, and all the distances of the Earth from them are changing all the time, ah, this makes it seem that the three stars are so rare with the moon. Then at the same time, the moon has a lot of names and stories in the ancient mythology of the mainland, such as the Guanghan Palace on the moon, which is inhabited by Chang'e and so on, of course, the ancients were very smart.
Myths and legends
Whenever there is a solar or lunar eclipse, it is thought that the gods are angry and eat the moon and the sun, and even today, there are still many people who listen to these rumors. For example, if you dig into some mythological stories, you will find that most of the natural disasters are in one sky, and multiple celestial bodies appear in the same direction, which is hailed as an ominous omen.
And this time the three-star moon is also believed by many people to be an unpredictable disaster. In fact, on this issue, there have been many people who have been debunking rumors. The three-star moon is simply a unique and rare astronomical phenomenon, not a mythical story in our imagination, which is not an abnormal celestial phenomenon.
The reason why three stars are so rare outside the moon is that four celestial bodies appear in the same sky and are so far apart, but if you measure their distance with a ruler in space, you will find that this is a job that makes you despair.
Omen of the Great Moon
In fact, for example, we are talking about the super moon, super blue moon, super blood moon, these are rare astronomical phenomena, not described in science fiction books, once these things appear, they are hailed as ominous omens. Of course, because the three stars and moons that appear this time are the clearest only half an hour before sunrise, this is also because they reflect the sunlight before sunrise, so you must seize the opportunity.
This article summarizes
After all, once the sun rises, you may need an astronomical telescope that can block the sunlight when you want to see them, of course, those four celestial bodies are not waiting for you, they come and go fast. Finally, I wish you all a beautiful three-star astronomical spectacle with the moon.
