Observing celestial bodies during the day is more challenging than at night.
REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA — Observing celestial objects easier to do in dark skies. However, it turns out that there are many celestial bodies that can also be observed during the day.
Some celestial objects are visible throughout the day, but observing them has its limitations and challenges. Here is a list of 10 celestial bodies that can be searched for during the day Earth Sky:
1. Sun
Of course, during the day you will see the sun. However, we should not look at it because it harms our eyes. So, avoid looking directly at the sun. Exposure to direct sunlight can harm the eyes.
2. Moon
Maybe not many people realize that the moon can be seen during the day. Because, so many people today spend most of their time indoors that they don’t focus too much on the sky.
In addition, the moon does not always appear in the midday sky. The moon spends half a day below the horizon. In addition, the moon is often a thin crescent and is difficult to see even during the day.
3. Planet Venus
When the sun is in the sky, Venus can be seen. Venus appears like a small crescent moon. However, some kind of optical aid is needed to see Venus because it only appears as a crescent moon at certain points in its orbit.
Observation in the sky during the day is more challenging. In the daytime sky, Venus appears as a small white dot that often appears to “pop” towards you. In the early morning sky in June 2022, Venus is clearly visible. Although quite bright, it will gradually lose its brightness until it disappears from the sky early in October. In December 2022, Venus will return to the night sky.
