Venus Alcyone User ID: 1448151 United States 06/20/2012 01:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here they are - Venus and Jupiter in the morning twilight. Quoting: Hydra (Not the best photos (a little blurry) - close to the horizon, very bad seeing and fairly windy) :vejumt: If you know where to look, the waxing crescent Venus is easy visible with small binoculars short before sunrise. (It's very close to the sun - take care, that you don't accidently hit the sun! You will burn your eyes!) Venus is almost as bright now as it was in the evening sky. But none of the Venus-doomtards (crying one month ago "Venus is coming closer and closer and it's getting brighter and brighter") will get out of bed at 4 in the mornig. And thus Venus quietly and almost unnoticed makes its way (as it did since millions of years) until in autumn 2013 the a new generation of Venus-doomtards (or some ald ones close to Alzheimer's disease) start crying again "Venus is coming closer ..." Jupiter rises about 30 minutes earlier and is also easy visible with small binoculars. Magnification of the two planets is the same. Venus at a distance of ~48 million kilometers at -3.75 mag. Jupiter at a distance of ~880 million kilometers at -1.58 mag. . nice Last Edited by Venus Alcyone on 06/20/2012 01:34 PM |

People are starting with the 'Moon is Missing' junk again... Quoting: TBar1984 [link to spaceweather.com] I think if everybody makes a prediction, I can do it too: On July 15 Jupiter will disappear! But only for some minutes and for a part of the world. On July 15 at about 02:00 UTC the Moon will pass in front of Jupiter and "switch off its light". The ocultation is visible in parts of Europe, North Africa, Middle East and Northern Asia. Occultation map and times for a lot of locations: [link to www.lunar-occultations.com] Along the northern and southern sideline in the map (e.g. in GB along a line Plymouth - Norwich) it's a grazing occultation. For my location it is from 01:52 to 02:20 UTC. (Time and duration will vary for other locations - look at the link above.) If weather permits, I will make some photos. But it's again in the twilight and close to the horizon - so no big expectations of quality, I guess the seeing will be bad too. .

Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars. I'd like to go quietly in my sleep, like grandpa did. Not screaming in terror like the people in the back seat of the car he was driving. |
