Meet Jupiter and Saturn for the first time in 400 years. It's hard for us to see again!🌕💗🪐

Is the pandemic the only big event you’ve experienced in your lifetime :mask: ??
No, it’s not. On December 21, 2020 (GMT + 9), Jupiter and Saturn will have a special Great Conjunction for the first time in 400 years :heart_eyes: !

(Sendai Astronomical Observatory @YasumiKikuchi )

Conjunction means that the planets overlap from the perspective of the earth. Traditionally, the Conjunction between Jupiter and Saturn is described as “Great” to give it a special meaning. It usually occurs once every 30 years, but this time it is closest to once every 400 years. Next time is 2080. In other words, it is very difficult to experience it twice!


(Sendai Astronomical Observatory @YasumiKikuchi )

Astronomers and we are excited about this big event! The Sendai Astronomical Observatory also featured the Great Conjunction. If you are lucky in your area, you can observe it in the night sky. If you can take a picture, please post it in this comments!

By the way, not only astronomy but also Western astrology is excited. I emphasize that the references from here on are not scientific (especially astronomy denies astrology). However, I do not deny that astrological thinking is one of the philosophies.

Since ancient times, it has been said that the Great Conjunction implies a game change that has undergone social turmoil. Astrologers in 2020 have repeatedly referred to the intense Great Conjunctions of Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto that will never occur again.

In addition, just before the closest Great Conjunctions on December 21, Jupiter and Saturn will move from Capricorn to Aquarius. This constellation movement is called “Ingress”. It is said that a big event will occur by itself (the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake occurred when Uranus and Neptune ingressed in a month).
The two planets went back and forth many times in 2020. It was unnatural not to imply a pandemic.

What Capricorn implies is “Control, Power, Initiative”
What Aquarius implies is “Freedom, Friendship, Mutual assistance.”
The Great Conjunction is the last Ingress and never returns. Let’s imagine the future.

The last time it occurred 30 years ago in 1981, and the closest occurred in 1623. It may be interesting to find out what happened in your country, including about three years before and after that.

An astronomical show that you can experience only once in a lifetime is coming soon!
If you’re lucky enough to take a picture, let us know in the comments!

We are practicing for the shoot of the day.

However, according to the weather forecast, there will be many clouds on that day.
I hope it will be clear sky day.

BTW,
In the photo in the top article, Y-Star, which appears between Saturn and Jupiter, should live in Japan like me, but I had met him once only in London.

Hi @YasumiKikuchi well, to be honest, I don’t know how to prepare to see this accidental astrological phenomenal! . I don’t know what time to be waiting ( my Local Time) !

What tool should I prepare to see this conjunction?

Thanks so much for this distinguished post about astrology and astronomy :sunglasses: :+1:

Hello @OSAMA_1 thank you!

Think of astrology as entertainment. Because music, paintings and photographs warm people’s hearts, but the scientific basis for them has not been fully discovered. But they are completely trusted.

The time they are closest to them is GMT + 9 at 3:00 am on the 22nd. If you are lucky, you can find it with the naked eye. If you want to take a picture, you should use a large telephoto lens. With an astronomical telescope, you can enjoy it at a magnification of 100 to 300.

Thank you!

Thank you @YasumiKikuchi for informing about the interesting elestial event happening this month with all the images and diagrams :+1:

It seems it is time to rush to the nearest planetarium or observatory and find out if they have any special arrangement.

Hello @TusharSuradkar , thank you for your reply!
Observatories in all countries should be preparing to record this big event. We will get that information!

Hi dear @YasumiKikuchi
What a pleasure to hear from you ! Hope you are in full health!

Meanwhile, I’ll mark the day on the calendar, then I’ll check if this alignment will also be visible from my hemisphere.
Here in Italy, a particularly seismic area, the influences that these planetary alignments may have on the occurrence or otherwise of earthquakes are slowly being considered.

However, from what I can understand and hope, we hope that by entering the sign of Aquarius (a sign carrying Water, symbol of Life, a symbol of brotherhood and humanitarian ideals), we can achieve a great positive change for the whole community!
Thanks for sharing and finger crossed!

Bye,
David

Hello @davidhyno , we are fine Make you safe too.

I’m glad you’re interested in astrological thinking!
As you say, we countries with a high number of natural disasters tend to take fatalism seriously. Western astrology is now a philosophy, but it is actually pure statistics. Someday the future AI will be completed.

Thank you as always!

Hello @Vprakashchat
Thanks for your comment. Have you been able to observe now?

(Tsunami Evacuation Hill @YasumiKikuchi )

Around 6 pm (GMT + 9) on the 21st, I certainly confirmed the first encounter in 400 years!:smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

This image was the limit for my 600mm telephoto camera. But they were lovely to the naked eye! :full_moon: :heartpulse: :ringer_planet:

Astronomers have hypothesized that when they are in close proximity, the influence of one light may hide the other. No one knows about it because it’s our first experience. However, in reality, both were shining. It’s a memorable day that has been verified all at once in the world! :telescope: :full_moon: :ringer_planet:

After this, it will be closest to GMT + 9 around 3:00 am on the 22nd.

珍しい天体現象の情報と観測写真の投稿に感謝します。撮影は苦労したのでは?!

私の観測結果を紹介しますね!ぬくぬくと部屋の窓から撮影したら空気の揺らぎでフォーカスが甘くなったようです。手を抜くとろくな事は無い…。
500mmに1.6xのテレコンを付け、モバイル赤道儀を使って撮影しました。そのままではただの点なので、土星と木星の部分を切り取ってます。


最初、光の点々はレンズのゴーストだと思ったのですが、Stellariumで確認したところ、木星の衛星でした!!衛星が4つも写るとはっ。私には最初の写真に木星の縞々模様は見えませんが、土星の輪は写っているように見えてます!?

そうそう、Ammanとか岡山からは見えたのでしょうかねぇ?
ではでは!

@Yotaroh さん、素晴らしい写真を投稿して頂きありがとうございます :smiley:

土星の輪と木星の衛星がハッキリと見えます。このような写真を待っていました!

木星には観測可能な4つの大きなガリレオ衛星と合わせて80個近い衛星があるそうですね。土星も同じくらいの数があるみたいです。

手持ちの大きな双眼鏡ではキレイに見えたのですが、写真のほうはそれなりの機材が必要ですね :selfie:
