Please set the alarm clock, the night sky, you can enjoy the Jupiter's accompanying moon astronomical landscape

Early on August 14th and 15th, 2022, you will see that the bulging moon near Saturn is located in the south. In addition, Saturn reached the hedge position on August 14, 2022. Draw by John Jardine GOS

On the morning of August 14th and 15th, the bright moon near Jupiter

In the early morning of August 14th and 15th, 2022, a bright losing moon will appear around Jupiter. In fact, the moon just passed the south of Jupiter on the morning of the 15th.

Although Jupiter is in a whale seat this month, it is difficult to recognize its weak starlight from Yuehui. At the beginning of August, Jupiter rose around at midnight, and at the end of the month, it would appear on the East Horizon around 9pm local time.

At the end of this month, Jupiter has a viewing star of about -2.7, and the diameter of the 48-character seconds is shining with burning Minghui.

In addition, Jupiter will reach the best state of the year from the end of August to mid -October. It is precisely, Jupiter will arrive on the hedge on September 26 this year.

Observe Jupiter through the telescope

The four planets can be seen in the morning across the sky

At the same time, in the morning of August, you can also see the four major planets -Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn (arranged in the direction of sunrise) -crossing the sky. In early August, the angle of these planets reached about 144 °; in the end of the end, the angle number reached 173 °, almost across the horizon!

Summary: On August 14th and early 15th, 2022, a bright losing moon will appear around Jupiter. If there is a double telescope, you can find a Galileo satellite -four large Muwei (Muwei Yi, Muwei Er, Muwei Sanhe Muwei 4), that is, the visible small point around Jupiter's giant gaseous planet Essence

related information

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun and the largest planet in the solar system. It is a giant giant star, which is more than 2.5 times the total quality of other planets of the solar system, only slightly smaller than one thousandth of the solar quality. Jupiter is the third celestial body after the moon and Venus. The observation of Jupiter was available in the prehistoric era, and its name -Jupites -from the king of the Roman gods, Judolt.

Kobe star is mainly composed of hydrogen, but it accounts for a quarter of its quality and one -tenth of the volume. It may have a rock core composed of heavier elements, [16], but like other giant planets in the solar system, it lacks a clear solid surface. The heat generated by Jupiter's internal contraction is more calories than the calories it received from the sun. Due to its rapid rotation, the shape of this planet is a flat sphere: it has a slight but obvious raised around the equator. The outer atmosphere is divided into a series of latitude bands, and there are turbulence and storm along the boundaries of their interaction. One of the prominent results caused by this is the Great Red Spot, a huge storm that has been observed since 1831.

Jupiter surrounds a weak planetary ring system and a powerful magnetic layer. Jupiter's magnetic tail is nearly 800 million kilometers long (5.3 astronomical units; 500 million miles), which almost covers the entire distance of Saturn's orbit. It is known that Jupiter has at least 80 satellites, and [6] includes four large satellites discovered by Galileo Galileo in 1610: Muweiichi, Europa, Muwei San and Calosto. Mu Wei and Europa's size is similar to the moon of the earth; Callisto is almost as large as Mercury, while Muwei San is even bigger.
