The stunning cosmic escape is preparing for the inhabitants of the United States on Friday night, as seven planets will be aligned on the spectacular screen – called the planet – which can be seen without traveling away from home. Such a scene will no longer be visible by 2040.
“Seven planets will be visible in the evening sky,” said Bill Cooke, an astronomer based at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama, for Fox News Digital.
“And three will be easily visible.”

Planet hunters hoping to see a spectacular screen just need a few simple objects for optimal experience: clear time, dark sky and a pair of binoculars or telescope to see more elusive.
The shop begins exactly at sunset-leaning, which will only be a 30-minute window in which All seven planets It can be seen in alignment above the horizon.

“If you look west after sunset, very close to the sun will be a planet Saturn,” Cooke said.
“But it will be so close, it will be somehow lost in the dusk – so you will need a couple of binoculars.”

Saturn will be about nine degrees above the horizon.
“You will have about 20 minutes to see Saturn, which will be set up very soon after sunset,” Cooke said.

“So if you want to catch all seven, you have this narrow window Starting with Saturn. “
The following will be on the list of planet Neptune.

“Neptune will require a telescope – without IFS, or a leg,” Cooke said.
A little more will be Planet Mercury, which Cooke said They also require two -way.
But then it will be very easily visible three planets.

“Next will be the brightest thing in the sky outside the moon,” he said. “Venus Planet. It will be a bright stellar thing that people see in the west after sunset. Light-grass to see.”
After Venus, there will be a muffled planet that is hard to see.
“These are three simple targets for your eyes. Saturn, Mercury and Uranus can be seen with a doubt – but Neptune would need a telescope.”
“If you go on the east, you will need a double -wing to see the Uranus planet,” Cooke said.
After Uranus will be another light -looking star, which is Planet Jupiter.

“And after Jupiter, the farthest east of all of them will be Planet Mars,” Cooke said, “what will look like this pale, reddish star. These are your planets.”
If you have a clear night and a relatively dark sky, see at least three planets are almost a safe thing.

“Venus will tear your eyes, so you can’t miss it,” Cooke said.
“Jupiter, which is also very bright, and Mars – these are three simple targets for your eyes. Saturn, Mercury and Uranus you can see with a doubt, but Neptune would need a telescope.”
Cooke noted that Planetarium phone app It can help the uneducated eye identify planets – and several are free and good for beginners.
You don’t have to travel to Western Texas or Utah to see the planet’s parade.
Only going beyond the city borders can significantly improve the effects of light pollution, which fails the contrast of stars and planets and the night sky.
It is best to travel outside the city borders to avoid potential physical obstacles and find open sky. (East)
Also reduces physical obstruction, like tall buildings.
The next time all seven planets will form a parade in 2040, but in October 2028. There will be another parade with five planets participating.
“This one is a little unusual in the fact that in the theory of all seven is visible in the evening sky at the same time,” Cooke said.
“Even with phones, like modern androids or iPhones, you can set that boob to take a number of pictures and catch the whole eclipse.”
“Last year we had a planet Parade with a few bright planets, but not all seven visible at the same time.”
Several Other celestial events This year could also be interesting to the amateur star players. This is followed by a blood month, set for March 13 to 14.
“Seeing the moon turning red is always fun,” Cooke said. “The total eclipse of the moon creates a blood month, which is one of those events worth keeping.”
Cooke said the occurrence occurs when the Earth passes directly between the sun and the moon.
Last year, there was a smaller procession of planets with visible only some planets, and five of the main seven would be seen in 2028. (East)
“When the moon goes to Earth’s shadow, you would think it would turn into black,” Cooke said, “but because the atmosphere bends light, especially the red part of the spectrum, the moon looks like red.”
He added that the blood month is a good opportunity for even Amateur photography to record a celestial event.

“Now even is the phones, like modern Androids or iPhones, you can set that boob to take a series of pictures and catch the whole eclipse,” he said.
“So, not only can you see it, but you can create a record, simply with the phone camera.”
The complete parade of the planets depicting all seven planets will not be seen again until 2040. (Apollo 17; Apollo 8; Apollo 12; Pioneer Venus; Voyager I; Mariner 10; Pioneer 11.)
Several meteoric showdowns – Lyrid, Perseids and Geminids – will also reign the sky throughout the year, but Cooke has its favorites.
“There are two good meteoric showers every year,” he said.

“Perseids and Giminides. Everything else is fine.”
The meteoric splash shower will be held from August 12 to August 13, but Cooke said that the month of this year will be distracted.

The most impressive meteor shower of the year will be Geminis in mid -December.
“That will be big for you,” Cooke said.

“Lirid is a shower of moderate forces,” he said.
“If I were honest with you, I wouldn’t send anyone to look.”
