Astronomical forecasts show that “aperiodic comet C / 2017 T2 passing perihelion”, “Aquarius erta meteor shower maximum”, “super moon”, “double star companion moon”, “mercury alloy star” and other wonderful astronomy will rotate in May Staged.
A non-periodic comet numbered C / 2017 T2 will pass the perihelion on the 4th, and the brightness is expected to be around 7th. “For most of this year, the comet’s declination is very high, which is very suitable for observation in the middle and high latitudes of the northern hemisphere. If the atmosphere is transparent, the interested public can see its style with astronomical telescopes or binoculars. “Said Shi Zhicheng, a member of the Chinese Astronomical Society and a director of the Tianjin Astronomical Society.
In addition to this T2 comet, another aperiodic comet with the number C / 2019 Y4 will pass the perihelion on May 31.
The famous Halley Comet, the dust emitted when approaching the sun, brought the Orion meteor shower and the Aquarius meteor shower to the public. The former generally reaches a maximum in October each year, and the latter generally reaches a maximum in May each year. Shi Zhicheng introduced that this year’s Aquarius erta meteor shower will appear at 4 o’clock on the 6th. By then, there will be dozens of meteors “dressing up” the night sky every hour.
For the fourth and final time this year, “Super Moon” will appear in Tianyu on the 7th. If the weather is fine, the public around the country can enjoy a big full moon that night.
On the 13th, a beautiful celestial phenomenon of “Two Stars with Moon” will be staged in Tianyu, and Jupiter, Saturn and the moon will compete in the southeast sky at close range.
On the 22nd, Mercury and Venus will stage a “coincidence” show, and the angle between the two is less than 1 degree closest. “In the evening of the same day, the public can find the exceptionally bright Venus in the northwest direction of the sky. With the guidance of Venus, using binoculars, you can find the figure of Mercury in the twilight.” Shi Zhicheng said.
