Admin and Founder of ‘The Tricks Of The Universe’ and previous intern at Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, I am a science trainee pursuing a Master’s in Physics from India. I like to study and write about Outstanding Astrophysics, Relativity & & Quantum Mechanics.October is the very best month
for anyone who likes sky gazing. It has 7 meteor showers, 2 planetary oppositions, the culmination of Andromeda, and a Blue Moon. Similar to the seasons, the sky is in transition. Another important fact that makes October an excellent huge month is the truth that all the worlds are noticeable in the sky. The planet parade is back and here is how you can delight in the sight of each of them.Watch: All the major astronomy events in October 2020 The tiniest world of our household is
emerging at night sky. On October 1, it reached its greatest elongation west. On October 6, Mercury will be at dichotomy. This suggests that its face will be half lit as seen from the Earth. It will shine brilliant as mag 0.1. Observing Mercury will be a challenging task. The best opportunity to find Mercury remains in the first half of the month. After that, its altitude at dusk will decrease significantly.Venus reached its acme in the morning sky on September 1. At a magnitude of -4.08,
Venus is still the brightest speck of light in the night sky after the Moon. The world is noticeable in the dawn sky, rising about 3 hours prior to the Sun. It dominates the pre-dawn sky as a fantastic ‘morning star ‘. Likewise check out: If any world is making news these days, its Mars. The Red World is going to make its closest technique to the Earthon October 6 in the years to come. Mars controls the sky along with Jupiter after the sunset. At a magnitude of -2.60, it has already beat Jupiter and Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky.On October 14, Mars will be at the opposition. This implies that the Earth, the Sun, and Mars will come in a straight line, with the Earth in the middle.
The opposition is the finest time to enjoy a world. This article describes why the October 2020 opposition is unique. At opposition, since the world lies opposite to the Sun, it rises at sunset, reaches its acme in the sky around midnight, and is lost to the morning twilight. You can easily spot Mars at its best in the sky a couple of hours prior to midnight.Quantum Mechanics Video Series We are going to start a video series on quantum mechanics on our YouTube channel. The series will discuss the ideas of quantum mechanics along with the mathematics of the subject. Make sure you register for our YouTube channel to get the notifications of the series.Just like Jupiter, Saturn is an early night things, now receding into night golden. At a magnitude of +0.47, it is much fainter than Jupiter. The Moon will pass near to Saturn on October 23 in the constellation of Sagittarius. Jupiter and Saturn are getting closer for their historic combination later on this year.More on Astronomy: Uranus will be at opposition on October 31. At around the very same time, it will make its closest technique to the Earth. Given that it has an obvious magnitude of +5.69, it will not show up to the naked eye. You will require a telescope to watch Uranus. It lies in the constellation of Aries.Neptune The last planet of our solar system
made its closest method to the Earth in September. Neptune is high up in the sky around midnight, in the constellation of Aquarius. At a magnitude of 7.82, it is not noticeable to the naked eye.
