Jupiter, the "big man" of the solar system, will have close contact with the "Moon Girl" on the evening of the 24th and play the romantic "Symphony of Stars and Moons". When the planet is close to the moon, the moon and the planet are very close to each other visually, and it is a very characteristic celestial phenomenon for both viewing and photography, especially the two brightest planets, Venus and Jupiter.
Zhao Zhiheng, an astronomical education expert and director of the Tianjin Astronomical Society, said that jupiter closed the moon at 12 o'clock on the 24th, and Jupiter is located 2 degrees north of the moon, but it cannot be seen at this time. At 8 o'clock that night, Jupiter and the moon rose from the east, Jupiter was on the top, the full moon was down, the stars and moons were shining, and the light was shining. Interested publics only need to look for an empty area and look up to see this "star and moon fairy tale". Over time, the stars and moons rise higher and higher. At 10 p.m., they ascend into the southeast sky in pairs for better viewing.
Astronomical experts said that in addition to observing with the naked eye, if the qualified public observes with the help of astronomical telescopes, they can not only see the colorful stripes on jupiter's surface and the great red spot parallel to its equator, but also see its largest 4 Galilean moons.
Jupiter Conjunction Moon:
Refers to the celestial phenomenon that Jupiter and the Moon are moving exactly to the same longitude, and the distance between the two reaches the closest celestial phenomenon. Jupiter conjunction moon is a kind of planetary conjunction moon phenomenon, the phenomenon of planetary conjunction moon occurs dozens of times in a year, because Jupiter is relatively large, in addition to "Venus and Moon", "Jupiter Moon" is one of the best viewing effects.
History of "Jupiter And Moon":
In 2006
Jupiter's conjunction occurs once a month, sometimes even twice, but due to weather and other reasons, it is not always visible, especially the probability of Jupiter occurring with a full moon is even lower. On the evening of May 12 and 13, 2006, a beautiful celestial phenomenon of Jupiter occurred during the full moon and was observable to the naked eye in most parts of China.
In 2009
1) Jupiter and Moon in the early morning of March 23, 2009. At about 5 o'clock on March 23, a crescent moon floated above the canopy like a small boat, and not far to the lower right of the crescent moon, Jupiter was like a pearl thrown by the moon ship, shining. The two snuggle up to each other, look at each other affectionately, and dedicate a wonderful "star and moon fairy tale" to the public.
2) On November 24, 2009, the Astronomical Societies of Tianjin and Jiangsu reported that at about 6 p.m. on the same day, a round of bright moon hung high in the southern sky, and there was a very bright star about 10 degrees to the lower right of the bright moon, which was the famous Jupiter. The two flirt with each other on the blue sky. Since there are no other overly bright objects around, the beautiful scenery accompanied by stars and moons is extremely clear against the background of the blue sky, and the viewing effect is very good. When the public looks up, they will find that Jupiter and the bright moon are closely related to each other, like a pair of men and women in love who are "whispering".
In 2011
Since October 2010, Jupiter has been brighter and more suitable for observation. On the evening of February 7, 2011, the strange celestial phenomenon of Jupiter's moon was once again staged in the sky. According to astronomical experts, on the evening of February 7, the fifth lunar month will coincide with Jupiter, and they will be easily found in the western sky after sunset. At that time, the angular distance between the two is about 7°, and jupiter's brightness is about -2.1 magnitude. Jupiter can be photographed with a medium telephoto lens, and if the exposure time is appropriate, it can not only capture Jupiter's brighter Galilean moon, but also expose the dark side of the moon that is illuminated by the reflected light of the Earth's atmosphere, that is, "Earth illumination".
In 2012
Zhao Zhiheng, director of the Tianjin Astronomical Society, informed reporters that on the morning of November 2, 2012, Tianyu will stage a beautiful celestial phenomenon of "Jupiter and Moon". At that time, if the weather is clear, early travelers can enjoy the wonderful scene of Jupiter and the bright moon competing in close proximity. It is understood that the planet and the moon just orbit to the same longitude, and the distance between the two reaches the closest, and this celestial phenomenon is called the planetary moon. The phenomenon of planetary conjunction moon occurs dozens of times in a year, but "Jupiter conjunction moon" is one of the better viewing effects. Zhao Zhiheng said that before dawn on November 2, above the western canopy, a bright moon hung high. Not far to the upper left of the bright moon, a bright star shines brightly, like a jewel thrown by the "Moon Palace Chang'e", which is the famous Jupiter. The two get close to each other and present a wonderful "Star moon fairy tale" to the public. Zhao Zhiheng said that because there are no other bright celestial bodies around, under the background of the blue sky curtain, the stars and moons are accompanied by a beautiful scenery like a lover's "whisper", the clarity is extremely high, you can look up to see, the viewing effect is very good. Interested members of the public who use a telescope to view it will also see 4 moons hanging obliquely from the lower left of Jupiter. As the sky brightens, Jupiter gradually fades out of the morning glow, leaving the moon alone to meet the rising sun. According to astronomical experts, Jupiter is the largest in the solar system, also has more than 60 moons, known as the "giant planet", is one of the easiest to observe with the naked eye, with colorful stripes to get the love of stargazers.
In 2013
On February 18, 2013, the beautiful celestial phenomenon of "Jupiter And Moon" was staged over Qionghai City, Hainan Province. In the early morning of October 6, 2013, the celestial phenomenon of "Jupiter and Moon" appeared in Tianjin.
In 2014
On the evening of May 4, Jupiter, the "big man" of the solar system, will come into close contact with the moon and stage a moving "star and moon fairy tale" to add a romance to the sky. At that time, if the weather is sunny, interested members of the public will look up to enjoy the beautiful scenery that accompanies the two. It is understood that the planet and the moon just orbit to the same longitude, and the distance between the two reaches the closest, and this celestial phenomenon is called the planetary moon. The phenomenon of planetary conjunctions occurs dozens of times a year, and in addition to the "Venus conjunction", "Jupiter conjunction" is the best ornamental effect. When the planets are close to the moon, the moon and the planet are visually close, which is a very characteristic celestial phenomenon for both viewing and photography. Jupiter is the deserved king of the planets in the solar system, it has the largest volume, but also has the most moons, known as the "giant planet". At 22:00 that night, Jupiter closed the moon. Zhao Zhiheng, an expert in astronomy education and director of the Tianjin Astronomical Society, vividly introduced that in the western sky, the affectionate "moon girl" seems to be waiting for something, it turns out that at about 5 degrees north of the "moon girl", there is a silver-white star that echoes with it, looking at each other affectionately, which is the "big man" Jupiter of the solar system, and its brightness is about -2 magnitudes. At this time, Jupiter appears amorous because of the "Moon Girl's" Gu Pan Shenfei. Since there are no other bright celestial bodies around, under the background of the blue sky curtain, the beautiful scenery of the two "whispering" is extremely high, and you can see it when you look up, and the viewing effect is very good. Zhao Zhiheng reminded that throughout May, Jupiter is going down in the constellation gemini, and after sunset, it turns from the southwest sky to the northwest sky, and the landing time is about 23 o'clock. Therefore, interested members of the public can choose the time period from 21:00 to 23:00 to enjoy and take photos.
In 2015
On the evening of January 8, as the moon rises, a very bright planet (Jupiter) will slowly approach the moon, and the celestial phenomenon of Jupiter and the moon will appear. And it lasts until dawn the next day. On May 24, jupiter will be in close contact with the moon as the last visible celestial sign in May.
