VLADIVOSTOK, Mar 28Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter will be visible to the inhabitants of Primorye during the parade of the planets on the evening of March 28, Anton Kochergin, head of the Ussuri department of the Institute of Applied Astronomy of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said.
An astronomical phenomenon, when the planets line up and can be observed above the horizon, will be able to see the residents of Primorye on March 28. Five planets will line up on this day — Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Uranus.
«Inhabitants of Primorye, in good weather, will be able to see Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter with the naked eye on March 28, when the parade of the planets takes place. Uranus cannot be seen without tools — binoculars or a telescope — because of its low brightness,» Kochergin said.
According to the scientist, even with the necessary devices for observation, it will not be easy to find the seventh planet of the solar system.
“To observe Uranus, you also need a certain skill. Many will be able to mistake this planet for a star, since Uranus reflects sunlight. But connoisseurs of the starry sky will be able to see a parade of planets from five heavenly bodies lined up in a line. Although the line is very conditional definition During the parade, the planets are at different distances from this imaginary line, «the scientist specified.
He added that in Primorye the full array of five planets would not be visible for very long. «All five planets will be visible for a short time, because two planets will quickly be below the horizon. Venus and Mars will be best seen by the Primorye. Mercury and Jupiter will be close to the horizon, and even during daylight hours, so it will be difficult to see them. And approximately after 8 p.m. they will generally disappear over the horizon,» the agency's source said. .ru/20230310/asteroid-1857055455.html» data-title='»Risk of collision with the Earth».
