Tuesday, December 22 at night The gas giants Jupiter and Saturn merged into one whole, like the phenomenon is called the “Star of Bethlehem”.
The video was posted by the Komsomolskaya Pravda edition on YouTube.
The star of Bethlehem appeared in the sky for the first time in 800 years. The last time such an astronomical image was observed March 4, 1226. Next time will happen again after 60 years.
The conjunction of the two main planets is known as the Grand Conjunction, as this pair is by far the largest celestial bodies, other than the Sun, in the solar system. This led astronomers to call the phenomenon “Christmas Star” because of its appearance during the Christmas season.
The conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter will be in the sky for the next five days. You can also see over Ukraine.
As reported by “Apostrophe”, located in Hawaii, the world’s largest Inoue telescope, created by the National Science Foundation of the United States (NSF), transmitted the first image of a sunspot, whose width is 16 thousand kilometers, greater than the diameter of the Earth.
