Phenomenon Which will not be repeated again until February 4, 2038, when the planet Mars approaches the Pleiades star cluster when separated by 2.6 degrees, which is the closest conjunction of the two celestial bodies in 30 years.
Ashraf Tadros, former head of the astronomy department at the Institute, explains Astronomical research And geophysics, beyond the unique phenomenon, he says: "This conjunction can be seen with the naked eye of the inhabitants of the northern hemisphere, upon entering the night at approximately seven in the evening and until the sunset of these two celestial bodies at eleven thirty in the evening.
Expected a break "Sky News Arabia"This scene can be seen on days 2 through March 6, however Pairing The real thing will be on March 3, when Mars will be as close as possible to the Pleiades, or let’s say the angle between them is as low as 2.6 degrees.
The astronomy professor explains that the Pleiades or the Seven Sisters is an open star cluster located in the constellation Taurus, and it is one of the brightest and most famous clusters in the sky that can be seen with the naked eye.
And he continues: This crowd consists of young stars whose color tends to be blue, indicative of youth and youth, and there are seven stars in this crowd that are its brightest stars and they are the reason for the name, pointing out that this crowd is about 444 light years away from Earth and its age is in the range of 100 to 150 one million years.
Scientific origin
Ashraf Tadros analyzes the phenomenon of conjugation, describing it as two celestial bodies approaching each other outwardly when looking at them from the Earth, that is, when the angular distance between them is the least possible, as for the truth, it is a very large linear distance between them, estimated at hundreds of light years or thousands of millions of kilometers.
Vardaf: "Upon the angular conjunction, we see the planet Mars and behind it the Pleiades as if they meet in the sky, and there are dozens of conjugations that occur in the year between the moon and the planets, stars and stellar clusters, etc., so the apparent proximity of any of them to the other is called conjunction.
Regarding the methods of observing the phenomenon, Tadros says that the conjugations can be monitored and photographed through special telescopes and cameras to calculate some parameters that are useful in some astronomical studies, and amateur astronomers and those interested in observing the sky like to follow such conjunctions to see it with the naked eye or monitor it and photograph it with telescopes or magnifying glasses.
The astronomy professor concludes his speech for the site "Sky News Arabia", Explaining how to schedule associations; He says: Each pair of conjugations has a date for its occurrence, and a number for its repetition, and all these dates are recorded in tables and have their own astronomical calculations by the minute.
