Mars and Bi Su staged the "Double Red Star with the Moon" on the 5th

According to an astronomical popular science expert, on the evening of September 16, the orange -red planet -Mars will "approach" another orange -red star -Bisu Wan, and a round of "double red star companion moon" with a round of bumpy moon. Well, the public in all parts of my country can see this wonderful scene with the naked eye.

Mars is the first planet outside the Earth's orbit. The surface soil is rich in iron oxide and presents orange -red. Because it looks like a fire, and the changes in brightness and the trajectory of the vision have made the ancients very confused, so in ancient my country, it was called "Ying Confusion".

According to modern astronomy, Bisu Five belongs to Taurus. As a bright star, Bisuwu also often appears in the ancient astronomical observation records of China. It is the brightest star in the 28th Star Setting System in my country. Modern studies have shown that Bisu Wan is a red superstar who has entered the late star evolution. The core of its core has gradually exhausted, mainly relying on glory to glow and heat, and the overall showing bright orange red.

Liu Dongyu, director of the Tianjin Science Popularization Writers Association and a member of the Beijing Astronomical Society, introduced that the "double red star companion moon" monthly phase is the lunar month. The brightness of Su Wuwu is about 1, which is slightly darker than Mars, and it appears slightly below the moon. In the case of good weather, if you fully expand your imagination, you may see the three celestial bodies as a "crooked mouth smile" with high sky.

Liu Dongyu reminded that the three celestial bodies rose late that night. It is more appropriate to wait until 23:00 in the eastern region of my country; the western region will be later. Mars will have been running in the Taurus area, which is more suitable for night observations. Bisuwu, as a typical bright star in the winter starry sky, will also occupy the protagonist position in the night sky. Therefore, from the evening of the 16th, it is also a good time to the public about Mars and Bi Suwu.
