NASA released 1 1 Sky-watching tips: partial eclipse in the moon, starry sky in winter.

June 1 1 What's the activity? -partial eclipse of the moon, returning to the starry sky in winter. 165438+1From October 6 to 1 1 day, watch the moon glide from the south/southwest of Venus, Saturn and Jupiter after sunset. In particular, if you take a look at165438+10.7, you will find that the new moon on the 4th is only about 2 degrees away from Venus. This should be beautiful.

From now until early February, Jupiter and Saturn will be closer to Venus every night.

The partial eclipse of the moon will happen soon, which will occur at night in June 165438+ 10/8 and June 19, when the moon will slide into the shadow of the earth for several hours. If the weather permits, the moon can be seen anywhere above the horizon during the eclipse. Depending on the time zone, it will happen earlier or later in the evening.

At present, there is a large area of the earth where at least part of the solar eclipse can be seen, including North America, South America, East Asia, Australia and the Pacific Ocean. Therefore, please check the visibility time in your area.

For observers on the east coast of the United States, the partial solar eclipse begins after 2 am and reaches its maximum at 4 am. For observers on the west coast, this means that it starts after 1 1 in the afternoon and reaches the maximum value at 1 in the morning.

Partial lunar eclipses may not be as spectacular as total lunar eclipses-the moon is completely covered by the earth's shadow-but they occur more frequently.

This means more opportunities to witness the small changes in our solar system, which sometimes happen before our eyes.

Throughout the month, if you get up late, you should look east. The familiar stars in the northern winter sky are back. They rise at midnight and rise high in the south at dawn.

You will find that the Pleiades cluster is ahead of Taurus and Orion, followed by Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, and they all come back to accompany us through the long winter night in the northern hemisphere.

An interesting explanation for this month's Pleiades cluster is that several of the eight asteroids that NASA's Lucy mission will visit are located in this part of the sky.

It is reported that the "Lucy" spacecraft was launched on June+10/October 16, 65438, carrying out the mission of 12, and it will visit a group of special asteroids called Trojan asteroids. They enjoy Jupiter's orbit, one of which leads Jupiter and the other follows Jupiter.

Lucy will be the first space mission to explore this unique asteroid group, which will provide new insights into the formation and early history of our solar system.
