China News Service, Nanjing, September 1st (Reporter Yang Yanci) According to the news from the Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences on September 1st, Tianyu "blockbusters" will be released together in September: "Goddess of Sending Children" Juno, "God of the Ocean" Neptune and The "big man" Jupiter of the solar system will oppose the sun one after another, ushering in the best viewing period.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the full moon will be "reported on time", and the "15th full moon" will be staged.

  With the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, "when the moon will be full" has sparked heated discussions.

According to astronomical calculations, this year's Mid-Autumn Moon is "the fifteenth full moon", and the roundest moment appears at 17:59 on September 10.

As long as the weather is fine, after the reunion dinner, the public can raise their heads to enjoy this exceptionally bright Mid-Autumn full moon.

  On September 11, Jupiter joins the moon.

As the night gets darker, Jupiter, the "big man", will appear together with the Moon Girl, hanging high in the sky all night.

The interested public can face the southeast sky and enjoy this romantic scene of the stars and the moon with the naked eye.

  This Jupiter conjunction can capture the view of the moon and Jupiter at the same time, which is especially suitable for viewing and shooting.

Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, has a brightness of -2.9 on the eve of opposition day.

Using a telephoto lens or astronomical telescope, there is a chance to see the moon and Jupiter in the same frame, as well as small details on the surface of Jupiter.

  On the 15th, the Moon will "encounter" with Uranus.

This time, the two will pass by and the moon will occult Uranus.

The best viewing spots for this lunar occultation of Uranus are in Europe, North Africa and other places.

In China, you can see the "intimate" moments of the two gradually approaching.

  The mysterious and distant Neptune will initiate opposition on the 17th.

By then, Neptune's apparent diameter will reach its maximum.

Using an astronomical telescope with an aperture of more than 10 centimeters and a magnification of more than 200 times, there is a chance to see the light blue, non-flickering ball-like Neptune.

  The most anticipated celestial phenomenon of this month - Jupiter opposition will debut on the 27th.

The conjunction period between Jupiter and Earth is 399 days, which means Jupiter will oppose the Sun every 13 months or so.

But this year's Jupiter opposition is special.

  Jupiter is at the perihelion when it opposes the sun.

This means that during this opposition, Jupiter is closer to Earth, so it looks bigger, brighter, and harder to see.
