If you are a fan of what happens in the universe, here at Heraldo Binario we give you the calendar of next month.
During October, specifically on October 14, millions of people witnessed one of the most anticipated phenomena of 2023: the annular solar eclipse, one in which the day had a slight drop in sunlight, but thanks to technology From the tip we were able to see how the Moon set in front of the Sun, giving the effect of the famous and spectacular ring of fire.
In that same month we were also able to admire impressive full moons and sunset skies dyed in unique red and orange colors, postcards that were captured in photographs that circulated on social networks and that once again show how spectacular nature is, when just like the universe.
Astronomical events of November 2023
We are just a few days away from November begins and during its 30 days a series of space events are planned that are worth having scheduled in the calendar. Here we give you a list with the astronomical events what awaits us next month, according to the National Institute of Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics (INAOE) and starwalk:
- November 3: Jupiter in opposition. At 10:44, Jupiter will reach opposition. Look for the bright spot in the constellation Aries. It will shine at a magnitude of -2.9, making it the brightest stellar object after Venus’ “morning star.”
- November 9: Lunar occultation of Venus. At 10:34 Venus will disappear behind the Moon in the constellation Virgin. The lunar occultation will be visible from parts of Africa, Europe and Greenland. The objects will be visible to the naked eye, but you can bring a telescope or binoculars for a better view.
- November 13: New Moon will appear at 9:27 am. At that time, our natural satellite will remain between the Earth and the Sun, so its bright side will be facing away from the Earth. It is the best time to observe the stars because the light of the Moon will not hinder vision.
- November 14th: Uranus in opposition. Uranus will reach the opposition. The planet will shine at magnitude 5.6 in the constellation Aries. Even at its biggest and brightest, Uranus will still be difficult to see, so it’s best to look for it at least with a small telescope.
- November 18th: Peak of the Leonid meteor shower. It will take place from November 6 to 30 and will peak around November 18. Under ideal conditions, you will be able to see up to 10 meteors per hour.
- November 25: Conjunction of the Moon and Jupiter. The satellite will pass at 2° 46′ north of Jupiter, in the direction of the constellation Aries. It will be at 11:14
- November 27: Full moon. The Beaver Moon will occur on November 27, at 9:16 a.m. Our natural satellite will be in the constellation of Taurus.
What time is the partial lunar eclipse today, October 28, 2023?
According to Earth Sky, a annular lunar eclipse It is a phenomenon in which only a fraction of this natural satellite enters the Earth’s threshold shadow. As the eclipse progresses, a dark shadow is perceived on the Moon, followed by dark parts as well, but less pronounced and that can be seen at its edges.
It is predicted that the lunar eclipse today, October 28, can be seen in Mexico from 11 a.m. to 3:26 p.m.
