The Podcast Explains It All!! Listen Now!!!

All right y’all so I know I just finished up episode 35, but, I just wanna give you an update on when and how to see the strawberry moon this month, enjoy!!!!!!

I love everybody welcome to see this unfortunate event that I had to make a podcast about you’re probably hearing the news all over that one of the James Web space Telescope that one of its mirrors got hit by micrometeorite so no need to worry we are still getting our first colored image very soon and they are working to figure this out I know that in space that’s what is going to happen many of these telescopes are rugged in durable but they’re all gonna be OK. we had the Hubble space telescope kind of got hit by one and then it was sent to the international space station where they would have to fix it but in this case since to the James Webb space telescope is out and it Lagrange point or L2 but I’m not sure how we can fix this but NASA is currently working on this issue but don’t worry it’s fine it just got hit by Micrometeorite. NASA is currently working on this issue and I’ll have you guys updated as soon as I get more information about it thank you guys so much for hanging onto me for this one episode tonight thank you guys for listening I do appreciate it if you want to get tipped to me for this episode it is much appreciated thank you guys for listening and I’ll see you guys on episode 34. Here’s a link for today episode or you can look at NASA‘s webpage of this breaking news as well. https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/08/world/webb-telescope-mirror-impact-scn/index.html https://blogs.nasa.gov/webb/2022/06/08/webb-engineered-to-endure-micrometeoroid-impacts/ Here are both of the links!!! Go and read them. One is longer than the other!!! The NASA one has more info And the one that CNN reported Sums it up Alot. Like I said NASA is currently working on this issue so they can fix it.

Heyyyy y’all!!! Who’s excited for a planetary parade???? It’s happening all this month!!! Here’s the link for todays episode https://starwalk.space/en/news/planetary-conjunctions?utm_source=starwalk2-ios&utm_medium=planet-conjunctions&utm_campaign=share click on this link to get the latest on the planetary parade!!! We wish you clear skies and happy observations! Love you all!!! I will see all of you guys this month!!!

What’s up y’all!!??? It’s Henry and here’s todays planet parade info!!! At the beginning of April, Venus, Mars, and Saturn form a trio in the southeast before sunrise, with Saturn appearing to move steadily toward Mars each day. On April 1st, they're a couple of finger widths apart. And by the 4th, Saturn and Mars are separated by less than the width of the full moon. Saturn then moves on, increasing its separation from Mars each day, as a new addition to the morning sky makes its debut. By mid-month, Jupiter is starting to rise in the pre-dawn hour, making for a quartet of planets, strung out in a line across the morning sky. Heading into the last week of April, Jupiter will be high enough above the horizon in the hour before sunrise to make it more easily observed. The two brightest planets in the sky, Venus and Jupiter, are headed for their own ultra-close conjunction on April 30th, similar to the meetup of Mars and Saturn earlier in the month. In fact, they approach to about the same distance. Of course, the planets are actually far apart in space, and only appear to move closer, or farther apart, in the sky as our view of them across the solar system changes from month to month. If you recall the grand conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn at the end of 2020, these conjunctions are not quite as close as that, but still really impressive and they'll make for thrilling sights in the morning sky. So definitely try to catch them if you can. Make sure to keep up to date with me and the latest info!!! Here are the 2 links for today https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/skywatching/home/

Heyyyy y’all so here’s todays readings!!! What does a conjunction with the Moon mean?

In astronomy, a conjunction is an apparent event that occurs when two or more space objects are visible very close to each other. In general, conjunctions take place between the Moon and planets (Venus, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, or Saturn).

Obviously, planets don’t get closer to the Moon in space — it would indeed cause a significant impact on the Solar System. The space objects only seem to be close in the sky for the observers from the Earth.

How to see a Moon-planet conjunction?

Here is what you need to know in advance:

Space objects rise and set time for your location. There is a possibility that an object will rise above the horizon during the daytime, so you won’t be able to see it at all.

The Moon phase. The fully illuminated lunar disk is, without doubt, an exciting view, but it also hides some relatively faint objects that are close to it.

The space objects’ trajectory across the sky. It will help you to visualize the future movement of space objects.

Remember that depending on your timezone, you might miss the exact moment of conjunction, but you still have a chance to catch a planet close to the Moon. Use our stargazing apps to quickly learn all the necessary information, like an object’s set and rise times or the Moon phase. Track the space objects’ path across the sky over time to predict their position for your location or find out the name of any bright dot above your head.

March conjunctions

March 7: Close approach of the Moon and Uranus

On March 7, at 06:46 GMT (1:46 a.m. EST), the Moon and Uranus will pass within a mere 46.3' of each other.

The distance is still too far to spot both space objects at once through a telescope lens. Observers armed with a pair of binoculars are more likely to see the Moon (magnitude -10.9) and Uranus (magnitude 5.8) together in the constellation Aries.

March 7: Lunar occultation of Uranus

At the same time, the Moon will pass in front of Uranus as seen from the Earth, creating a lunar occultation of the planet. However, this event will not be visible from most parts of the Earth. The disappearance of Uranus can only be observed from some islands surrounding New Zealand. The reappearance of Uranus might be seen by observers from the eastern part of Australia, New Zealand, and a small part of Antarctica. The rest of the world will see only the close approach mentioned above.

March 28: Moon-Mars conjunction

On March 28, 2022, the Moon will be in the waning crescent phase with only about 15% of its surface illuminated. This means observers might get a better view of the stars and planets surrounding it, especially in the early morning as the planets rise above the horizon.

For example, on this day at 02:54 GMT (March 27, 9:54 p.m. EST), you might spot the Moon and Mars in the constellation Capricornus passing very close to each other, within 4°12'. Mars will have a magnitude of 1.1 – bright enough to be seen with the unaided eye.

March 28: Moon-Venus conjunction

On the same day, at 09:50 GMT (4:50 a.m EST), the Moon will meet Venus. The conjunction will be out of the scope for telescopes and binoculars: the Moon will pass 6°40' to the south of Venus, which is too far to fit within the field of view of the optical devices. However, Venus will shine at a magnitude of -4.3, so both celestial bodies lying in the constellation Capricornus will be perfectly visible in the dawn sky for the naked eye.

March 28: Moon-Saturn conjunction

The third conjunction on this day will occur at 11:43 GMT (6:43 a.m. EST) as the Moon will be passing 4°25' to the south of Saturn. The planet will have a magnitude of 0.7, which might seem a little dim, but it’ll still be visible through binoculars.

Hey y’all it’s planet parade month. Here’s what you need to know. What is a planetary parade?

It is an astronomical event that occurs when the Solar System’s planets line up in a row in the same area of the sky, as seen from Earth.

The astronomical events that can be referred to as planet parades include:

events that take place when planets align in a row on one side of the Sun at the same time, as observed up above the plane of the Solar System;

visual phenomena that happen when the planets of the Solar System appear in a small sector of the sky at the same time, as seen by a terrestrial observer,

nights when all planets of the Solar System can be seen.

What types of planet parades are there?

There are four types of planet parades: mini (3 planets), small (4 planets), large (5 or 6 planets), and great (all Solar System's planets).

When do the planets of the Solar System line up?

In fact, the Solar System’s planets never align in one perfectly straight line, as they do not orbit in the same plane.

What to expect from a planet parade?

During this spectacular event, you can see planets lined up (or just gathered) in the same part of the sky.

When was the last time a planetary parade occurred?

All the planets of the Solar System lined up on one side of the Sun at the same time on July 4, 2020. Also, the next month observers could see all the planets in one night.

What planet parade happened on July 4, 2020?

On July 4, 2020, the rare planet parade took place. All the eight planets of the Solar System and the dwarf planet Pluto lined up on one side from the Sun at the same time.

When to see the next large planetary parade?

In March 2022, five planets of the Solar System will simultaneously appear in a small sector of the sky. In June 2022, one more planetary alignment will occur.

How often do the planets align?

Three planets align on one side of the Sun simultaneously two times a year, four planets – once a year, five planets – once in every nineteen years, and all eight planets of the Solar System – once in about one hundred seventy years.

This was all you need to know about the planetary parades in general and their schedule in 2022. If you liked this article, share it with your friends, and follow us on social media to never miss noteworthy planetary alignments in the sky above. Here’s the dates you need to save for this planet parade. When will the planets align in 2022?

Three planet parades are coming in 2022. They will occur on:

March 28, 2022;

April 20, 2022;

June 24, 2022. SAVE THE DATES!!!!!!Have fun astronomers!!!

Hello everybody!!! Welcome to another episode straight from the NASA expert!!! We have been finding out that there are more than 5,000 other exoplanets in our solar system. Hoping that the James Webb space telescope are able to find EXO planets beyond our solar system this is good knowledge that not just our solar system but other worlds like mini Neptunes hot Jupiters or other earthlike planets it’s amazing what we can find beyond our solar system but we don’t know much about them they’re just planets out there beyond our solar system I’m hoping to be very excited about these exoplanets that on a later date that NASA will go and discover these EXO planets and here’s the link for today’s episode https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/21/world/5000-exoplanets-confirmation-nasa-scn/index.html?fbclid=IwAR0bHNFlMTgyQ4aWnmhfSQ9OPrVozZ5ThMF2MjPfgKyC8oBBHYamC0aoceA and you can also go to this link for more https://exoplanets.nasa.gov have a great night everybody and we will see you on the next episode.

Listen up guys it’s getting warm in here On Mars that is looking up y’all because they’re doing are you frosting and the ice covered dunes on the Kaiser crater are defrosting and it is springtime on the northern hemisphere on Mars so it’s getting warmer not colder anymore that’s a plus everybody and makes it feel A lot better and more relaxed about it hope this episode is interesting to y’all I found it really cool and no more cold days on Mars it’s getting warm not cold. THANK GOD!!!! This is really interesting episode it’s getting warm on Mars you got a love it when it’s spring time on Mars. Love you all and have a great evening see you on the next episode which will be season 2 episode 22.

Hello everybody and welcome back to a new brand new season of the official NASA podcast today we’re gonna learn about earth shine what is it and how we see it. If you listen up you’ll hear all the details in this episode That you’re gonna have to listen very closely because I’m gonna tell you how Do you spot the earthshine when the light is reflected off the lights up in the moons Darkside. Thank you all and go NASA
