Moon to Meet Jupiter in Early Saturday Morning Sky

If your sky is clear early morning, you'll be treated to a lovely celestial scene as a fat, waning crescent moon passes just over 7 degrees below and to the right of the largest planet in the solar system, Jupiter. Your clenched fist held at arm's length measures approximately 10 degrees, so the moon and Jupiter will appear spaced roughly three-quarters of a fist apart.

Between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter discovered "cemetery" of comets

Colombian province of astronomers from the University of Antioquia in Medellin, observing space objects found between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter cluster of comets, which over millions of years show no signs of activity.

However, as scientists believe, under certain conditions, "dormant" comets can "come alive".

Pictures of Jupiter show extraordinary change the appearance of the planet

On Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, the last few years there have been significant changes, according to a new study.

Huge zone in the atmosphere changed color, sources of radiation on the surface of the gas giant goes out and re-lit, and the layers of the clouds became thicker then dissolved, and all this against a background of crashing into the planet of space objects, astronomers say.

Jupiter has discovered two new Trojan

Asteroids are dark or glowing stone with a matt, non-reflective surface. And those that are ahead of Jupiter is much larger that behind.

"Jupiter and Saturn now in peace, in stable orbits. But just have a very rough. And we think that these meteorites are orbiting Jupiter millions and even billions of years - at a time when the solar system was formed only "- said Tommy Graves, a scientist from the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, in Arizona.

Another flash on Jupiter

Amateur astronomers dotted a brief fracture have of light along the eastern limb of Jupiter. Now we must wait to see if the planet bears a scar from the impact site.

This is the perfect time to observe Jupiter. Shines brightly Queen planets in the night sky - That means clustering and a lot of eyes and cameras are turned on it every night since about midnight Until Dawn. HAS paid all this early in the morning of September 10, when two amateur astronomers have captured a spectacular goal brief lightning in the middle of Jupiter near icts eastern limb.

Venus, Jupiter and Aldebaran in the sky line up in July

The two brightest planets in the solar system, Venus and Jupiter will shine together in the sky at night and the dawn of the first weeks of July , as reported by NASA. To observe this spectacle experts have pointed out that one need only look to the east. On Wednesday, Venus became visible for the first time, going through the exact center of a large group of stars that is located 153 light years from the Earth (the cluster of the Hyades). Thus, in the coming days, if you use binoculars, you can see by the planet dozens of stars scattered in the sky.

Jupiter

This is the biggest planet in our solar system; its group is double that of the other planets mutual. Because of this Jupiter cause visible change in their peers in the solar system particularly on Mars, Saturn and largely asteroids and comets.

The destruction of the planet is about 1/16 (so-called dynamic flattening) it is connected to the high speed of revolution. The Jovian revolution period is the straight in the entire solar system and although not all parts turn at the same average speed is 10 hours. In 1961 there was a variation on this for more than a second.

Storms are classified in various intensities

The Solar Wind, which had an average speed of 500 km / sec, reached in the three days following a speed of more than 50,000 km / sec. From there began to descend to 33,000 km / sec, speed was maintained for 30 days. Although this seemed impossible, what happened?

The event was mentioned in all the magazines in the world, and in major newspapers, but scientists did not know what it was. All they did was to publish the data at their disposal. In 1989, a class X19 solar flare, issued a radioactive storm hit Earth and knocked out the Hydro-Quebec power grid for several hours, to merge several generators.
