Six Planet Lineup at Sunset
WhatsApp university is abuzz again with a “Once In A Lifetime Event” happening on 28th February. Six planets are aligned on this date.
Well, not everything happens to be true in the circulating messages on various social media. A lot of hype built up based on little truth.
Would you like to unravel the whole truth and nothing but the truth behind the hype? Then join us in the open house that we are organising on Saturday, the 28th February at the Astro Facility of Aperture Telescopes at Manesar.
We will assemble a few big telescopes at the Manesar Astro Facility to view the planets. The event begins at 5pm, before sunset. If you are late then you will miss observing four planets out of six.
What will we observe-
1. Mercury in daytime, before sunset.
2. Venus in daytime, before sunset.
3. Gibbous Moon, 11 day old.
4. Saturn with its rings angled thinly towards the Earth, as well as Titan.
5. Neptune, the outermost one.
6. Uranus.
7. Finally the bright Jupiter, with the Great Red Spot facing the Earth.
Several large telescopes will be lined up for the session, some automated and a few manual for your own use.
All are welcome to this observing session. We will be happy if you spread the word of this event in your circles.
The observation starts at 5 pm and will continue till 8pm.
