Jakarta (ANTARA) – a novel and uncommon astronomical phenomenon within the type of planets in a row no planetary alignment the sky will shade earlier than dawn on 3-4 June 2024 at roughly 05.15 WIB.
BRIN Astronomy and Astrophysics Analysis Middle researcher Thomas Djamaluddin stated that there are six planets lined up alongside the ecliptic, particularly Jupiter, Mercury, Uranus, Mars, Neptune and Saturn.
“We’ll see the phenomenon of planets aligning from the highest to the jap horizon,” he stated in Jakarta, Friday.
Thomas stated that Saturn may be seen with the bare eye as a brilliant star, and that Neptune and Uranus can solely be seen with a telescope.
Then the planet Mars will appear to be a barely crimson star, Mercury will appear to be a faint star earlier than dawn, and Jupiter may also seem dim.
In accordance with him, solely brilliant planets may be seen, particularly when the sky remains to be darkish.
“Saturn and Mars solely seem as factors of sunshine like stars. Jupiter rises earlier than dawn, which can not have been seen,” stated Thomas.
The phenomenon of aligned planets is a standard phenomenon and it typically occurs as a result of the planets are near the aircraft of the earth’s orbit across the solar, so they’re all the time across the ecliptic.
In accordance with Thomas, the Kali phenomenon could be very uncommon as a result of the variety of planets in a row isn’t greater than three planets.
The phenomenon of six planets in a row has no impact on the earth. For those who look with the bare eye, the planet can solely be seen as some extent of sunshine like a star, however with a telescope you’ll be able to see Saturn’s rings.
Each planet orbits the solar for a sure time period, some one 12 months and a few a couple of 12 months. This may be measured and its look within the sky plotted, in order that it may be predicted prematurely.
The phenomenon of planetary alignment may be predicted utilizing free purposes similar to Stellarium which may simulate the phenomenon from rising to round our heads.
Folks typically predict the myths concerning the phenomenon of aligned planets as an indication of one thing that can occur, however that is based mostly on perception, not scientific logic.
“By way of the phenomenon of aligned planets, we are able to encourage college students to check science which, though complicated, is enjoyable,” concluded Thomas.
