The Night Sky Podcast | Winter Hexagon And The Big Dipper Myth

Five Planets In The Morning Sky Produced by Marina Hansen and Billy Newman.

The Night Sky Podcast | Five Planets In The Morning Sky

Hello, and thank you for listening to this episode of the night sky podcast. My name is Billy Newman. And I'm Marina Hansen. And this week, we're going to be talking about a few of the upcoming sky watching events that are going to be occurring in the night sky above us for the fourth week of January and part of the first week of February two.

Yeah, that'd be great. Yeah, the the five planets are visible right now. I think that's probably our focus.

Yeah, it's everyone's focus. Anyone that's been like covering the sky watching stuff that's going on. Everybody's talking about it. Because it's such a cool rare event. It's cool.

It is really cool. rare, but I was I was looking up some stuff for for before the show. And every every site has stuff about it, Huffington Post, National Geographic,

cool. I'm glad that it's being covered so much. I saw a ton of tweets about it. And I try to post some stuff about it, too. I looked a few things up on the sky and telescope side, they always have a pretty good collection, or it's pretty good and pretty secure and safe information to trust about what's going on. And skywatching wise, yeah, they're they're normally pretty accurate. There's, it's often it's difficult to be inaccurate. However, I'm often pretty inaccurate. But yeah, it's exciting right now that the highlight right now is that the five planets are up and visible. We've had it for just about a week. Now, officially, I think that the mercury would be visible in the morning sky. Mercury's one, like we've been talking about a little bit is like the the wildcard it's the one that comes up last. And we'll go first. Right? Because it's so fast, it's so quick to go around the sun.

And it is just now starting to be a lot more more visible. It's brighter.

Yeah, this, this week is gonna be the prime week for viewing of the five planets. And it's going to be really cool, too, because we're going to have the moon in it also, as a crescent in the morning.

It's going to be moving past all of them.

Yeah, yeah. So it'll be able to see six of the the visible objects that are not stars in the sky all at one time. And then the sun is rises a little later. But yeah, this week is the week that we're viewing and Mercury is going to be the easiest to do. And it's really, I was looking at the arc of mercury as it as it kind of comes up into the orbit and its highest point in the sky is going to be February 5. And then after that, I think it starts to drop back off, it'll fade back out. And it's slower than it was like in the in the winter, at the end of December, when I had that really fast rise and set over like the course of two and a half weeks. In the night sky. This one's going to be a little bit slower. And so Venus and Mercury are going to start drifting a little bit closer back toward the horizon line, again, closer back toward the sun. But I think mercury will get there first. Maybe at the end of February. Yeah, maybe it's a downer. There's a threshold there. I kind of had my note on about February 23 would be the last date that you'd be able to see mercury. But I bet technically, you could be able to observe it before then. I'm not sure though.

Yeah, that seems about right. I think it's roughly a month of time that we have that they're supposed to be all around and potentially visible. Yeah. But yeah, another cool thing about mercury coming up, like you're saying, and it's going to be most visible around the six, it's also going to

Hello, and thank you for listening to this episode of the night sky podcast for the third week of January 2016. This week, I'm joined with Marina Hanson once again to talk about some of this week's star and skywatching news and events that are coming up. And when in DC, I do Marina, hey, Billy, I'm doing well. Cool. I'm glad that you're here today, again, with me to talk about some of the cool stuff that's coming up. I think it's been a couple, it's kind of a slow, it's a slow period right now, in January, in this midsection of January, and then it's gonna start picking up a lot at the end of January. And then I think if we get good viewing, at least in the northwest here, I think it's really going to ramp up for us through February and March. And then really, almost all of April, May, June, and all through the summer have a lot of different events going on that are kind of interesting. skywatching things that we'll be able to keep track of. But I think it's a little bit of a law right now.

Yeah, I'm excited for the things coming up in the next few months. Yeah, right now it is pretty slow.

Well, you know, I can't say it's slow. And then I could say that. I mean, there's like four planets visible. And they AM. Yeah, that's really cool. I guess of the fifth one. Yeah, even as I think it's just a law because there's gonna be a fifth one soon. So that's when like hyack comes in. That's when the news is the headline.

Yeah, the four planets being visible is really cool.

Yeah. So right now and the aim and we've been kind of observing this. The last couple nights, we've had a couple clear nights in the breaks of all these El Nino storms that keep sweeping through the West Coast. We got a couple clear nights during the last week separated by about five or six days. But I think the first night we got to see that observation, I think was what the ninth where Saturn and Venus were like just a half a degree apart from each other in the morning sky. They were just right up next to each other. That was really cool. Do you remember that? It was like, maybe we can half ago. Yeah, I remember that. Yeah, really cool to see. And then that was like, that's in Scorpio is now in a Helio conjunction in the morning sky. So Helio, I think a Helio conjunction. And this, this might be the wrong use of the term. But what was explained in the way that things were written about, I think this is astrologically Helio conjunctions are the first constellation that rises above the sun in the morning sky. So it'd be the last constellation to rise above the horizon before the sun comes up. Does that make sense? First, the first constellation you see at first light, right? That's the Helio conjunction sign. So that's what some astrological systems, or some calendar systems would use, as their position to identify the constellation in character at that time. So you know how some people maybe complain sometimes that Sagittarius the month that Sagittarius occupies the sun is not the month that the Zodiac identifies for your birthday. Right. And so the reason for this disparity sometimes culturally, was because it was identified through a Helio conjunction of that constellation instead of the other type of conjunct, I think just a regular conjunction, or when when the sun is absolutely in that constellation. So in this in this thinking, it's the sun is now passed, that constellation is now probably in another constellation. But it's that constellation that we see at first light, when the sun just starts to come up. That's the one that I think they would count sometimes. Now that doesn't real
