On 20th /21st June, 2015
Two Celestial Phenomena “Moon in Conjunction with Venus” and “Moon in
Conjunction with Jupiter” will
occur. i.e. celestial get together of
Moon with Venus and Moon with Jupiter will occur. Which means Anyone looking West after Sunset on 20th
June 2015 can spot Venus below Crescent Moon and Jupiter above crescent Moon.
Explanation Notes:
FACE
IN THE SKY on 20th June 2015 : Due to this wonderful celestial alignment of Moon,
Venus and Jupiter all of the three together will form skewed ‘smiley face’ emoticon pairing enthralling every one of us.
i.e. Moon, Venus and Jupiter together will appear like face with eyes and mouth.
Tips
to Remember: Planets will
appear like non-twinkling bright objects. To find who is who. Venus will be
shining like Beacon in the Sky whereas Jupiter will be less Bright.
1.Conjunction is a term used in
positional astronomy. It means that, as seen from some place (usually the
Earth), two celestial bodies appear near one another in the sky. Importantly a
day before & after people can notice one of the objects getting close or
getting away after the celestial meeting.
2.
Distance - Appearance: Planets are located at greater distance from earth and
they themselves are separated by enormous distance. However due to conjunction
they appear near to each other in our skies.
3. Though Moon in Conjunction with Venus will
occur at 1.29 Noon on 20 June, 2015 and Moon in Conjunction with Jupiter will occur at 2.07 a.m. on 21st
June, 2015. What one would see after Sunset on 20 June, 2015 is important!
4.Importance – Coming together: 1.Venus goes around Sun with its orbit located inside the orbit of Earth. Whereas Jupiter orbits Sun with its path located around far away from Earth. In other words, Orbits of Venus and Jupiter (placed after Mars orbit from Earth) are located on either Side of Earth. Interestingly though Venus and Jupiter are separated by enormous distance & location of orbits. Due to phenomena of Conjunction for observer on they appear near each other in Earth’s Sky. i.e. positions of these planets while on their journey around Sun is such that they appear near each other
