Thread 16747879

picture i took last night of the venus jupiter conjunction. was hoping to maybe get a look at jupiters moons but too much light pollution womp. tomorrow morning august 12th theyll be less than a degree apart its gonna be so sick. share your own cool photos of space stuff anons!!!!!

>>16747879 (OP)
oh my bad correction theyll be one degree apart

Amazing! I would love to have a telescope to see that in live.
Will NASA or some other thing will make a live stream?

>>16747886
no i don’t think they do unfortunately but they do have resources on their stargazing page for seeing it, it’s visible with the naked eye!!!! and i feel ya i wish i had a telescope but i’m broke lmao so i make due with my shitty 8x21 binoculars. i’m gonna save up and try to get a 25x70 pair to hook up to my tripod. you really gotta pay a lot to get a good telescope unfortunately.

those are alien spaceships

The noise level is too damn high

>>16747879 (OP)
I caused this

>>16747879 (OP)
but no srsly, wtf, made a search, including webb telescope, haven't found a single worthy picture of the event, shame on humanity as a whole

Closest to Farthest Apart:
Extremely Close (Under 0.5°)

February 23, 1999 - 0.2° separation Why 2023's Venus-Jupiter conjunction won't be bettered until 2039 (evening conjunction)
June 30, 2015 - 0.3° separation Why 2023's Venus-Jupiter conjunction won't be bettered until 2039 (evening conjunction)
April 30, 2022 - 0.2° separation Venus and Jupiter conjunction: Look now (morning conjunction)

Very Close (0.5° - 1.0°)

April 23, 1998 - 0.5° separation Why 2023's Venus-Jupiter conjunction won't be bettered until 2039 (pre-dawn)
August 12, 2025 - 0.85° separation (51 arcminutes) Star WalkStack Exchange (morning conjunction)

Close (1.0° - 2.0°)

November 24, 2019 - 1.4° separation (evening conjunction)
June 17, 1991 - 1.2° separation (evening conjunction)

Known Conjunctions with Less Precise Data:

September 2, 2005 - 1°22' south separation
February 16, 2008 - 35' north separation
December 1, 2008 - 2°02' south separation
February 16, 2010 - 1°04' south separation
May 11, 2011 - 37' south separation
May 28, 2013 - 1° north separation

August 27, 2016 - 4' north separation
November 13, 2017 - 17' north separation
January 22, 2019 - 2°26' north separation

What's the significance of this though? I was just listening to a podcast and a it mentioned a Venus and Jupiter conjunction marked an important moment in time. I am guessing because it's close the the beggining of the Egyptian calendar year?

very nice, thanks anon

>>16748047
Same. You're the part of me that wants me to stay asleep, so you posted that you caused it so I'll doubt that I actually am the sole cause of everything.

>>16747879 (OP)
I think you found Planet 9 in there as well

>>16747879 (OP)
>>16748794
so that's it, those are the pics, fucking trash, no ffense, but I want to see the fucking planets and not a small light

>>16748794
That's the good stuff.

>>16750182
indeed, i remember using a $30 telescope several decades ago and being able to CLEARLY see all of Jupiter's large moons.

>>16750623
you need to get somewhere with less light pollution to see all the moons.

>including webb telescope
My dude why in the hell would the James Webb telescope ever take a picture of that

germany

sorry for phone camera

>>16750720
>jwt would never

>>16748522
This is am opportunity to raise your attention up from the dystopian everyday life and behold the skies watching the planet. It is beautiful and serene.

>>16750605
True, an ordinary pair of binoculars is sufficient, provided you are well outside the light pollution.
