In the early morning of the 26th, observing the "Eye of the Galaxy" ushered in a good opportunity
Xinhua News Agency, Tianjin, April 24 (Reporter Zhou Runjian) "Galaxy Arch Bridge" is common, but "Galaxy Eye" is not.
Astronomy science experts introduced that in the early morning of April 26th, the observation of the "Eye of the Galaxy" ushered in a good opportunity. At that time, the moon will rise directly under the "Galaxy Arch Bridge", and the two will form a "big eye" in the night sky, romantic and romantic. And magical.
The Milky Way, made up of hundreds of billions of stars, resembles a bright milky-white band across the sky.
On a clear night in spring and summer, when the Milky Way just rises from the horizon, it spans the entire eastern sky and looks like a curved arch bridge from a distance, which is vividly called "Galaxy Arch Bridge" by astronomy enthusiasts.
"When the moon runs directly below the arch bridge, the arch bridge and the moon form a 'big eye', the arch bridge is the 'eye socket', and the moon is the 'eye', which astronomy enthusiasts vividly call the 'eye of the galaxy' or It's the 'Eye of the Silver Arch.' Some astronomers also call it the 'Eye of the Galaxy' when the two brightest stars in the night sky (usually) Venus and Jupiter appear directly below the arch, but because of this The brightness of the two stars is much different from that of the moon, and the viewing ability is much worse," said Xiu Lipeng, director of the Tianjin Astronomical Society and an expert in astronomy popularization.
In April, the Milky Way still appeared in the second half of the night, with a beautiful posture, spanning the entire eastern sky, and the high point position was significantly higher than that in March, which is also a very suitable time for observing and photographing the "Galaxy Arch Bridge".
Xiu Lipeng said that from April 24th to 28th, the moon will be located in the low sky in the east at dawn. Among them, at about 3:30 a.m. on April 26th, the moon just ran right below the arch bridge, and the rising moon was very similar. Pupils that radiate light.
It is worth mentioning that from now until mid-October this year, the bright Venus will appear in the low sky in the southeast as a "morning star", which is very eye-catching.
During this period, it also has the opportunity to appear directly under the "Galaxy Arch Bridge", and interested friends can try to observe and photograph.
Although the "Galaxy Arch Bridge" and "Galaxy Eye" can be seen with the naked eye, in order to completely "freeze" into a photo, panoramic stitching technology is required.
Xiu Lipeng reminded that the best observation and shooting time for the "Galaxy Arch Bridge" in April is around 2:00 a.m., around 12:00 in the middle of the night in May, and around 22:00 in June.
Interested friends have the opportunity to observe and photograph the "Eye of the Galaxy" during these three months.
