Residents of Yekaterinburg on December 7 will see the parade of planets
Residents of Yekaterinburg will be able to see the parade of planets without additional equipment. This was reported by E1 with reference to Vladilen Sanakoev, an engineer at the Ural Federal University scientific laboratory.
“On Tuesday, December 7, the weather will allow us to see another evening parade of planets in the Urals. This time, the situation of early November is almost repeated, when it was possible to simultaneously see the planets Venus, Saturn and Jupiter in a small sector. They will be visited in turn by the Earth satellite – the Moon, ”he said.
According to Sanakoev, on December 7, the Moon will be 2.4 degrees from Venus, on December 8 – 4.7 degrees from Saturn, on December 9 – 5.3 degrees from Jupiter. “All the designated planets are easily visible with the naked eye low above the horizon in the southwestern part of the sky,” he said.
The Russians were told that it is best to observe the planets one hour after sunset. And the owners of the telescope will be able to see dwarf Pluto.
