Venus and Jupiter
http://wwwcdn.skyandtelescope.com/wp...ember-2017.jpg
Saw this through the break in the clouds and it was as lovely as could be. Venus is moving in behind the central Sun and will transition to an twilight appearance once more whereas Jupiter will move back through the night. http://www.popastro.com/images/plane...ary%202012.jpg While it is wonderful to predict the astronomical events like the sight of Venus and Jupiter in close proximity using a rotating celestial sphere, don't try to model the motions of the Earth, the other planets and solar system structure on that RA/Dec framework - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HAQk3dhsa0 So much more to enjoy once the future software program emerges that substracts the daily rotation of the planet and allows the planets,including our own, to travel freely in context of our motion and that of the central Sun along with the motions of the satellites of each planet around their parent. |
