A Christmas Star for SOHO
NASA Science News
http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2000/ast16may_1.htm

The planets Venus and Jupiter will pass less than 42 arcseconds apart
on May
17. Because the pair is so close to the Sun, only the Solar and
Heliospheric
Observatory will have a good view of the close encounter.

May 16, 2000 --If someone could turn off the Sun for a while on
Wednesday,
star gazers would be treated to a remarkable sight. The two brightest
planets, Venus and Jupiter, will pass less than 0.01 degrees apart at
1030
UT on May 17. Unfortunately, the close encounter will take place just
7
degrees from the bright Sun, making it impossible to see with the
naked eye.

Nevertheless, you can still monitor the encounter thanks to the ESA/
NASA
Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO). SOHO has an advantage over
most
stargazers. Coronagraphs on the satellite can block out the Sun's
bright
light in order to see nearby stars and planets as well as the Sun's
faint
corona. The conjunction will be easy to see in images from SOHO's wide
field
coronagraph that are posted on the SOHO realtime images web page
(http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/data/...e-images.html).
"If Jupiter and Venus were farther from the Sun on May 17, the
conjunction
would be a real eye-catcher," says astronomer Dr. George Lebo, a 2000
Summer
Faculty Fellow at the Marshall Space Flight Center. "The human eye can
distinguish objects separated by angles greater than 50 arcseconds,
but
Venus and Jupiter will only be 42 arcseconds apart. At closest
approach the
pair would appear to merge into a single brilliant star."

This close conjunction has already been compared to the 2 B.C.
conjunction
of the same planets that is often identified as the "Christmas Star"
reported in the book of Matthew.

In "The Star of Bethlehem: An Astronomical and Historical
Perspective,"
Susan S. Carroll writes:

On June 17, 2 BC, Venus and Jupiter joined .... in the
constellation Leo. The two planets were at best 6" (arcseconds)
apart; some calculations indicate that they actually overlapped
each other. This conjunction occurred during the evening and
would
have appeared as one very bright star. Even if they were 6"
apart,
it would have required the sharpest of eyes to split the two,
because of their brightness.

The Conjunction at a Glance

* Jupiter and Venus will pass 42 arcseconds apart at 10:30 UT on
May 17.
* Both planets will be full phase with apparent polar diameters of
9.8
and 30.8 arcseconds.
* At closest approach their limbs will be separated by only 22
arcseconds.
* The Venus-Jupiter conjunction takes place 7 degrees from the Sun.
* The last time Jupiter and Venus were so close was in 1859; the
next
time will be in 2065.

Venus-Jupiter conjunctions like the one on May 17, 2000, are not
terribly
rare, notes John Mosley of the Griffith Observatory in an essay on
Planetary
Alignments in 2000. According to Mosley, the last time Venus and
Jupiter
were closer than on May 17, 2000 (separated by less than 42
arcseconds) was
at 3:47 on July 21, 1859, when their centers were 32 arcseconds apart
(there
was no partial occultation). The next time will be at 12:45 on
November 22,
2065, when their centers will be 16 arcseconds apart and the northern
edge
of Venus passes in front of Jupiter.

Although Venus and Jupiter will appear to be very close together on
May 17,
there's no danger of a collision. The two are really very far apart.
Venus
will be 257 million km from Earth, while Jupiter will be 896 million
km
away. The two are separated from each other by a comfortable 639
million km.

As Venus passes by Jupiter on May 17 the five classical planets
(Mercury,
Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn) will span just 19• 25'. The cluster
is too
near the sun for naked-eye observations, but it's perfect for SOHO
coronagraphs, which will be able to see all of the planets except
Mars.

SOHO is a cooperative project between the European Space Agency (ESA)
and
NASA. The spacecraft was built in Europe for ESA and equipped with
instruments by teams of scientists in Europe and the USA.

RARE PLANETARY ALIGNMENT TOMORROW

Mumbai, May 4 (PTI) - In a rare astronomical event, a
grand alignment of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Jupiter and
Saturn with the Sun inside the grouping in the Aries
constellation and Mars and the moon in the Taurus
constellation will occur tomorrow.

All the planets will align at the smallest geometric arc
in ecliptic longitude (in other words, they will not
exactly be in a straight line) with Mars and the Moon to
the east of the Sun and the rest of the planets to its
west spread over 25.53 degrees at 1 p.m. (IST).

However, the phenomenon, which last occurred on February
5, 1962 and will be repeated next only in September 2040,
will not be visible from the earth due to the sun's
glare, solar astronomer Dr. Bharat Adur said.

The planetary alignment does not signal a doomsday, as
feared by some, and according to astronomers, no 'unusual
forces' will be exerted by the other planets on the
earth. Such an alignment has taken place 40 times in the
last 2000 years, which fact should dispel any fears about
it, Director of the Nehru Planetarium, Dr. J J Rawal,
said.

Tidal forces exerted by the other planets on the earth
will be very weak as per calculations based on earlier
observations of the alignment, Adur said.

The tidal influence of a planet is directly proportional
to its mass and inversely proportional to the cube of its
distance from the earth, he said.

''Even if all planets were exactly in line with the earth
and at their least possible distance from us, the
combined planetary tide would equal only 1/6460th of the
average tide due to the sun,'' Adur said.

The tidal influence of the five planets visible to the
naked eye will be less than this in May because the
planets will be on the far side of the sun, Rawal said.
Their affect on the sun will be greater.

''The planetary alignment of May 2000 is quite apparent
and produces the greatest tidal stress on sun,'' Rawal
said. ''We find the peak actually occurs not on May 5,
but on May 9, when both Mercury and Venus move closer to
a superior conjunction with the Sun,'' Adur said. By the
time the five naked-eye planets (not counting moon)
attain their minimum spread of 19.5 degrees on May 17,
the tidal stress will subside, they added.

I was wrong. The moon is included in that program. I'd forgotten about
that.

Yes. The program confirms the Space Calendar's prediction. Venus and
Jupiter will be very close together on December 1, and the moon will
pass close to them both sometime between November 30 and December 1.
Seen from your far-west location (Ken is in British Columbia, Canada),
it might be best to look on the evening of November 30, when it will
already be December 1 in most of the rest of the world. Look again the
following night, too.

I don't know how accurate that old program's predictions are. It shows
Venus and Jupiter so close together that the two red dots representing
them on the screen overlap heavily.

Hi there,
Taking the 2675 AD event as my staring point, I went looking for a

exception of Neptune,
which is darkside of Earth. (2675 AD see NB I)

The Twelve Days of Christmas

December 18th
May the green holly-tree flourish, striking its roots
deep into our English ground, and having its germinating
qualities carried by the birds of Heaven all over the world!
The Holly Tree

December 19th
Seasonable tokens are about.... Lavish profusion in the
shops; particularly in the articles of currants, raisins,
spices, candied peel, and miost sugar.
Edwin Drood

December 20th
Christmas was close at hand, in all his bluff and hearty
honesty; it was the season of hospitality, merriment, and
open heartedness.
The Pickwick Papers

December 21st
And numerous indeed are the hearts to which Christmas
brings a brief season of happiness and enjoyment.... How
many old recollections, and how many dormant sympathies, does
Christmas time awaken.
The Pickwick Papers

December 22nd
It is good to be children sometimes, and never better
than at Christmas, when its mighty Founder was a child Himself.
A Christmas Carol

December 23rd
Christmas time! That man must be a misanthrope indeed
in whose breast something like a jovial feeling is not
roused-, in whose mind some pleasant associations are not
awakened- by the reccurence of Christmas.
Sketches by Boz

December 24th
I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep
it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present and
the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within
me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach.
A Christmas Carol

December 25th
A Christmas family party! We know nothing in nature more
delightful! There seems a magic in the very name of
Christmas.... Would that Christmas lasted the whole year
through!
Sketches by Boz

December 26th
Let the benignant figure of my childhood stand unchanged!
In every cheerful image and suggestion that the season brings,
may the bright star that rested above the poor roof, be the
star of all the Christian world.
A Christmas Tree

December 27th
Another Christmas come, another year gone!... More figures
in the lengthening sum of recollection that we work and work
at to our torment, till death idly jumbles all together, and
rules all out.
The Haunted Man

December 28th
The windows of the house of Memory and the windows of
the house of Mercy are not so easily closed as windows of
glass and wood. They fly open unexpectedly; they rattle in
the night.
Somebody's Luggage

December 29th
Who seeks to turn him (Time) back, or stay him on his course,
arrests a mighty engine, which will strike the meddler dead,
and be the fiercer and the wilder, ever, for its momentary
check!
The Chimes
