China News Agency, Nanjing, June 1 (Reporter Yang Yanci) According to the news from the Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences on the 1st, entering June, the Milky Way has opened the most beautiful observation season.
Under the splendid and bright Milky Way, the stars compete to usher in the highlight moment, and the "super moon" and meteor showers help to add luster one after another.
As summer begins in the northern hemisphere, the starry sky also enters the seasons.
The "handle" of the Big Dipper began to point south, heralding the arrival of the summer of the stars.
At night, the beautiful Milky Way rises from the southeast, entering the best viewing period.
The "Summer Triangle" composed of Vega, Altair and Tianjin made its debut.
Under the Milky Way's light, the stars begin to "date" closely.
The moon also joined Tianyuxiu, competing to show the most beautiful side.
Entering June, the planetary "chasing race" in the eastern sky in the early morning continues, this time with beautiful Venus and distant Uranus.
On June 11, Venus joins Uranus.
According to experts, because Uranus' brightness is at the limit visible to the naked eye, it is easy to be annihilated among the stars.
The best time to look for Uranus is when it is close to other bright objects.
During this Venus conjunction with Uranus, bright Venus will be the "beacon" in the search for Uranus.
On June 14, a "super moon" will appear in the sky, which is the "second largest full moon" this year.
At that time, as long as the weather is fine, the public will have the opportunity to raise their heads to see "a full moon falling on a jade plate".
The full moon ended, and the mysterious Mercury then appeared on the "stage" of Tianyu.
On the 16th, Mercury will usher in its second great western elongation this year.
The interested public can capture the mysterious Mercury in its true form through the bright Venus and star map software.
On June 23, a lunar occultation of Mars will occur in Antarctica and the South Pacific, and a close Mars conjunction will be visible elsewhere.
After 1:00 a.m. that day, a waning moon will rise from the east together with the bright red Mars, and the brightness of Mars will reach 0.5 magnitude, which is very beautiful whether it is observed with the naked eye or a telescope.
As the moon continues to rotate, Moon Girl came to the vicinity of Venus on the 26th, and the Pleiades star cluster also joined the Tianyu party.
Venus, the moon, and the Pleiades star cluster leap above the horizon one after another, forming a right-angled triangle.
Since these three celestial bodies are relatively bright, photography enthusiasts may wish to record this rare picture with a camera.
On the 27th, Mercury "fills" the Subaru star cluster and continues to form an "iron triangle" with Venus and the moon in the sky.
Finding this "double star with the moon" is slightly more challenging, depending on whether you can successfully find Mercury and whether the sky is beautiful.
At the end of the month, Tianyu will broadcast a wonderful tidbit - the June Shepherd meteor shower will usher in a great event.
Usually, the meteor swarm is active between June 27 and July 5.
According to the forecast, the meteor shower will not usher in a large-scale eruption this year, but because of its high brightness and suitable moon phase, the interested public can try to catch the sparkling meteors belonging to summer under the gorgeous Milky Way.
