Xinhua News Agency, Tianjin, May 31 (Reporter Zhou Runjian) The weather is getting hotter, and the "Tianxiang Theater" in June has also started to heat up. Astronomical experts introduced that many "celestial good films", such as "Mercury to the East", "Penum lunar eclipse", "Mars and Neptune", "June meteor shower in June", and "circular eclipse", will be released in turn. The "circular eclipse" is not to be missed.
The mysterious Mercury will usher in the second east long distance of the year on June 4. "For our country, the observation conditions are good. At that time, if the transparency of the atmosphere is good, the public can find the figure of Mercury in the northwest low altitude after sunset." Said Shi Zhicheng, a member of the Chinese Astronomical Society and a director of the Tianjin Astronomical Society.
June 6 is April 15th of the Chinese Lunar Leap. In the early morning of that day, Tianyu will quietly have a penumbral eclipse. "The whole process can be seen in my country. At that time, if the weather is fine, the public will find that the moon will have a process from bright to dark, and then recover from dark to bright." Shi Zhicheng said.
On June 12, the two planets Mars and Neptune will "join" in Tianyu, and a "star attraction" will be staged.
On June 16, the romantic June Lyra meteor shower will "bloom" the night sky. "The meteor shower mostly produces blue or white meteors. Although the flow is not large, the moon phase at this year's maximum is close to the residual moon, which has little effect on the observation." Shi Zhicheng said.
On June 21st, as the most important astronomical phenomenon in 2020, the splendid solar eclipse will debut. The biggest feature of this solar eclipse is that the eclipse (the ratio of the moon covering the diameter of the sun) reaches 0.994, which is very close to the total eclipse. Such a solar eclipse is also called "Phnom Penh eclipse".
"Fortunately, my country is just right at an excellent observation location. Among them, Tibet, Sichuan, Guizhou, Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian, Taiwan and other places can see ring eclipse, and other regions can see partial eclipse." Shi Zhicheng said.
