CONJUNCTION IN THE NIGHT SKY
A very rare sight in a sky, brightest planet Venus hide behind the sun after conjunction.
A known fact that, The time a planet travels on the sun on earth is known as a year and the journey of a planet is known as orbit. Venus travels around the sun every 225 earth days on its journey. So this is all about orbital movement. Besides the sun and moon, Venus is the next brightest and hottest natural object that can be seen in the night sky with the naked eye in rarely. Venus planet is hotter than the planet Mercury, even through Mercury is closer to the sun. The atmosphere of Venus made up of carbon dioxide that’s the reason of Venus hottest planet. Venus and earth known as twin due to it’s size but Venus have no water. some people worry that earth may become like Venus so it’s really vital in earth to avoid carbon dioxide so it can not trapped with earth atmosphere. Scientist guess that earth could be hot and dry like Venus which is very dangerous sign for all of us.
On another hand, March 24, 2023, observers in the whole of southeast Asia observed an extraordinary sight. Brilliant Venus and the waxing crescent moon were extremely close together and, for some, the moon occulted (passed in front of) Venus.
The moon and Venus, the brightest planet in our solar system, lined up in conjunction in a rare occurrence in the skies, on Friday. The spectacle was witnessed throughout the world and many people were left simply amazed by witnessing the event. Until Venus progressively moved away from the Moon and became hidden behind it, the heavenly bodies were visible in the same field of vision. Even though they were kilometers apart, the two aligned in an almost symmetrical path. A planetary conjunction occurs when two celestial planets appear near one another in the sky
NASA’s Twitter prediction before the conjunction of planets ”Look westward to find the Moon as a beautiful, slim crescent this evening after sunset, hanging just below blazing-bright Venus. Tomorrow evening, look west again to spot the moon once more, this time shining from above Venus.” .
As a part of this spectacular sight, some CBS news revealed that five planets named Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, Uranus and Mars will align together on March 28, creating a rare beautiful spectacle in the sky. All these planets are set to align between March 25 till March 30 as Earth will enter the equinox. However, the sighting of this rare conjunction in the sky will be best visible & most clear on March 28 as five and five planets will cross ways and come in one line in an orbital movement. Waiting for beautiful spectacles in the sky from different cities.
Now it’s yours turn to send your view of the sky in comments.…………..
