The planets are in line with the rare heavenly event in San Diego – NBC 7 San Diego
The stars will be able to experience a rare heavenly event this week when all the planets adjacent to the Earth are visible to the “planet’s” procession.
The alignment of the planets, which were continuing in some capabilities for weeks, will reach their climax on February 28 when the stars have the best opportunity to see all the seven planets, albeit with the naked eye.
A planetary alignment of this size will not occur again for more than a decade, according to the arrival today.
What is the alignment of the planet?
The planetary alignment occurs at any time when any planets appear in our solar system on the same elliptical line, according to NASA. This in itself is not unusual but unique when spectators have the opportunity to see multiple planets in line with the naked eye.
The term “Planet Parade” is an informal way to indicate this phenomenon.
What are the planets that will be visible from San Diego?
While all seven planets will be able to see them during this planetary alignment, everything will be visible to the naked eye. The best way to get to know the seven is to confront the West with a telescope after sunset.
“The alignment means that at this moment, all the seven planets can be seen,” says Michael Shanahan, director of the Liberty Science Planetarium Center in New Jersey. “Some will burn bright and amazing, while others will require a small endoscopy or telescope to see it.”
It will be possible to see Venus, Mars and Jupiter. It will be difficult to see Saturn, Uranus and Neptune without help. The most challenging planet will be mercury – the closest to the sun.
“They say that one in every 1000 sees mercury and knows they see it,” says Shanihan. “You just see it near the sun in the sky when it appears for a few minutes at sunset or go out immediately before dawn.”
A great reason was linked to February 28 as the best opportunity to see all the planets because it provides the best opportunity to see Mercury, according to today’s reports.
What makes the planet alignment very rare?
Although it is common to see two planets appear together in the sky of the night, the heavenly phenomenon – known as synchronization – is more rare when more planets participate. After June, the planets will start spreading in the Predawn sky, “to the extent that Venus and Saturn will make their exits as morning things for most observers by September,” According to Nasa.
When was the last time the planets corresponded to?
It was aligned from five clear plans in San Diego in June 2022, and six planets are in August 2024.
What is the next time that a major planetary alignment will happen?
NASA says the next time that the stars can enjoy aligning the planet in late August 2025, but it will not be on the same event as this month happened; Four planets will be visible simultaneously before sunrise. Shanshan said that this will not happen again until October 2028. The next time, five planets will be visible once in 2034. The seven planets will not be visible together until 2040.
