Moon

Venus is one of the brightest planet in the Solar System because if reflects 70% of sunlight back and is also the closest to Planet Earth.

As the Moon came in between Earth & Venus, the brightness of latter was expected to be curtailed by nearly 250 times. Though, the two planets are miles apart but as they align together in a symmetrical line, this makes it a puzzle for hundreds of thousands of curious skywatchers. New Delhi: The Solar system along with 9 planets and its numerous enigmas continue to puzzle the mankind.

It will not only be Venus which will be in the evening sky. The lunar body is in the new moon phase and just over nine per cent of the surface was visible. While Venus is one of the brightest objects in the evening sky, the Moon trumped its brightness by nearly 250 times thanks to its closeness to our planet.

The conjunction of the moon and Venus is a relatively uncommon occurrence that happens when the two celestial bodies appear close to each other.

While asteroid flybys are common, Nasa said it's rare for one so big to come so close — about once a decade.

Saturday’s close encounter will offer astronomers the chance to study a space rock from just over 100,000 miles (168,000 kilometers) away. While asteroid flybys are common, NASA said it’s rare for one so big to come so close — about once a decade. While asteroid flybys are common, Nasa said it’s rare for one so big to come so close — about once a decade.

The asteroid, called 2023 DZ2, will pass closest to the Earth on Saturday at just 108,757 miles away, less than half the distance to the moon (238,606 miles).

Its upcoming visit will see it pass by at just 154,306 miles away Asteroids whiz by Earth all the time, but it's rare for one of this size to pass so closely. The next time an asteroid will pass by the Earth closer than the distance to the moon is in 2026 when an asteroid first discovered in 2013 will zip by.

On hearing the words "city killer" and "asteroid" in the same sentence, you'd be forgiven for thinking something bad is about to happen.

Because it says in two words: This is dangerous on the level of being capable of destroying the city,” he explained. We just need to ensure that there is no air traffic or no people in the area,” he added. “That’s where the [term] ‘city killer’ comes from. Also, some 50,000 years ago, an iron asteroid hit what is today Arizona, between Flagstaff and Winslow on the Colorado Plateau, creating a crater 0.75 miles (1.2 kilometers) across and about 600 feet (180 meters) deep. That happens about once every 10 years,” Richard Moissl, ESA head of the Planetary Defence Office, told CNN Friday. The moon, by comparison, is around 238,855 miles (384,400 kilometers) away from Earth.

Jupiter and Mercury meet just days before Venus and Uranus mingle, while Mars cozies up to M35 from March 24 to 31.

The Moon reaches apogee, the farthest point from Earth in its orbit, at 7:17 A.M. Uranus, still magnitude 5.9, will require binoculars or a scope to pick out, especially while the sky is still light but likely even after dark as well. Slow-moving Mars is still up near M35 in roughly the same position as a few days ago. (Though as usual, the earlier, the better.) The Moon doesn’t quite help, either, but at least it’s a few constellations away! That provides a short but usable dark-sky window, though the earlier you’re able to hunt them down, the better.

Referred to as the lunar occultation of Venus, this phenomenon is similar to an Eclipse and occurs when the Moon is orbiting between Earth and Venus.

The beautiful event was visible from many Indian cities, including Hyderabad, Lucknow and Kolkata, adding even more pomp to yesterday’s Ramzan festivities. The celestial bodies looked close enough to almost touch from many parts of the country, and netizens were understandably going gaga over the formation. And rarer still was its conjunction with the Moon.

But he added that more data was needed to determine the asteroid's composition. The moon is roughly 385,000 kilometres away. The asteroid will pass 175,000 kilometres (109,000 miles) from Earth at a speed of 28,000 kilometres per hour (17,400 miles per hour). At 19:49 GMT on Saturday it will come within a third of the distance from the Earth to the Moon, said Richard Moissl, the head of the ESA's planetary defence office. A large asteroid will safely zoom between Earth and the Moon on Saturday, a once-in-a-decade event that will be used as a training exercise for planetary defence efforts, according to the European Space Agency.

Until Venus progressively moved away from the Moon and became hidden behind it, the heavenly bodies were visible in the same field of vision.

In effect they would be along the same line of sight (but still far away from each other). "Venus and Moon will be involved in an event known as conjunction when they would "appear" to come very close to each other to an observer from planet. Tomorrow evening, look west again to spot the Moon once more, this time shining from above Venus," they said in the tweet. American space agency NASA also took to Twitter to inform the users of the same. A planetary conjunction occurs when two celestial planets appear near one another in the sky. The spectacle was witnessed throughout the world and many people were left simply amazed to witness the event.

In March 1840, English-born American John William Draper clicked what are now the oldest surviving photographs of the moon.

On March 23, 1840, he informed them that he had created a focussed image of the moon. Draper attempted to improve the photographic process of Daguerre and succeeded in ways to increase plate sensitivity and reduce exposure times. The chemistry of light-sensitive materials fascinated Draper and he learned about the daguerreotype process of photography after the news arrived in the U.S. He tried to make daguerreotypes of the moon from his rooftop observatory at NYU, but like Daguerre before him, was unsuccessful. The smartphones in our hands these days are so powerful and equipped with great cameras that all we need to do to click a photograph of the moon is to wait for the moon to make its appearance and then take a photograph. He not only taught there for most of his life, but also served as the president of the med school for 23 years.

An asteroid big enough to wipe out a city will zip harmlessly between Earth and the moon's orbit this weekend, missing both celestial bodies.

Saturday’s close encounter will offer astronomers the chance to study a space rock from just over 100,000 miles away. The Virtual Telescope Project will provide a live webcast of the close approach. Astronomers with the International Asteroid Warning Network see it as good practice for planetary defense if and when a dangerous asteroid heads our way, according to NASA.
