  • Great Conjunction” of Jupiter and Saturn
    Astronomy Club of Asheville - December 2020 Highlight Page 1 of 3 The December 21, 2020 “Great Conjunction” of Jupiter and Saturn During the northern hemisphere summer of 2020, Jupiter and Saturn will become visible in our evening skies. Earth will approach closest to both these gas-giant planets in July – something astronomers call planetary opposition. By autumn, the 2 planets will appear to be on a slow collision course with each other in the constellation Sagittarius. But it’s in December that this very close alignment of Jupiter and Saturn reaches its culmination. The “great conjunction” of Jupiter and Saturn will occur on December 21, 2020 – the northern hemisphere’s winter solstice. At that time, the two planets will be in the constellation Capricornus, low toward the southwest horizon, and separated by a mere 0.1°. This will be the closest Jupiter/Saturn conjunction since the year 1623 CE! Jupiter will be at magnitude -2.0, and significantly dimmer Saturn at magnitude +0.6. On the evenings of December 16 & 17, 2020, the waxing crescent Long Night moon will join Jupiter and Saturn, making an amazing sight in the southwestern twilight. Above: Artist’s concept of Jupiter and Saturn on December 16, 2020 shortly after sunset, as viewed from Earth’s surface. Notice that a 7% illuminated, waxing crescent moon will also be part of this early evening view. Jupiter and Saturn will be rather low in the SW sky – only about 17° above the horizon in Asheville, NC.

    The Seasons Autumn Winter Summer Sun Spring Winter Spring Summer Autumn Celestial Celestial Celestial Celestial Equator Equator Equator Equator Winter Observations What is the orientation of the earth’s axis in relation to the sun when the northern hemisphere experiences winter? (Pointed away) What is the sun’s position in relation to the celestial equator during the winter? (23 degrees below) Where on the globe (in latitude) would the sun appear directly overhead on the winter solstice? (Tropic of Capricorn, or 23 degrees south of the equator) 1 Summer Observations What is the orientation of the earth’s axis in relation to the sun when the northern hemisphere experiences summer? (Pointed towards) What is the sun’s position in relation to the celestial equator during the summer? (23 degrees above) Where on the globe (in latitude) would the sun appear directly overhead on the summer solstice? (Tropic of Cancer, or 23 degrees north of the equator) Comparison of Winter & Summer Compare the area of illumination for the winter and summer solstices. Which season experiences a greater intensity (greater concentration) of light? Summer Run the simulation again without stopping and note the distance and the speed of the earth as it orbits the sun. While the simulation is not to scale and greatly exaggerates the motion of the earth, it accurately depicts the changes in distance and speed of the earth as it orbits the sun. Comparison of speeds between summer and winter: The earth orbits the earth faster in the winter than the summer. Comparison of distances between summer and winter: The earth is closer to the sun in the winter than in the summer.

  • “The Story of the Seasons”
    “The Story of the Seasons” The Earth takes 365 and 1/4 days to complete one revolution around the sun and this amount of time is called a “year.” Every four years, 1/4 of a day will add up to 24- hour day, and we add an extra day (February 29th) to the calendar. This is why we have a “leap year” with one extra day every four years. The Earth’s orbit is nearly circular (or slightly elliptical) and Earth is actually closer to the sun during the northern hemisphere’s winter months. Summer On the first day of summer, June 20 or 21st, the Earth’s Northern Hemisphere is tilted 23.5° toward the sun. The day is known as the summer solstice. On this day the sun is at its highest point in the Northern Hemisphere sky at noon and directly over the Tropic of Cancer (the 23.5°N parallel of latitude). Solstice means “sun stop” in Latin. When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, that part of the Earth receives more direct rays of sunlight during the daytime than the Southern Hemisphere does. The Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun and therefore, receives the sun’s rays at an angle. As a result, it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere. Conversely, during our winter months when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, it is summer in the Southern Hemisphere. During the summer, the land, oceans, and atmosphere in the Northern Hemisphere receive more direct rays of sunlight.

  • Winter Solstice December 21, 2020 3:02 AM
    Weather Forecast Office Winter Solstice Albuquerque, NM 2020 Updated: January 24, 2021 3:28 PM MDT December 21, 2020 3:02 AM MST The winter solstice occurs at the moment the earth's tilt away from the sun is at a maximum. Therefore, on the day of the winter solstice, the sun appears at its lowest elevation with a noontime position that changes very little for several days before and after the solstice. In fact, the word solstice comes from Latin solstitium or sol (the sun) + -stit-, -stes (standing). The winter solstice marks the shortest day and longest night of the year. In the Northern Hemisphere, it occurs when the sun is directly over the Tropic of Capricorn, which is located at 23.5° south of the equator and runs through Australia, Chile, southern Brazil, and northern South Africa. The Northern Hemisphere winter solstice will occur at 3:02 am MST on December 21, 2020. nasa.gov NWS Albuquerque weather.gov/abq Weather Forecast Office Winter Solstice Albuquerque, NM The Seasons Updated: January 24, 2021 3:28 PM MDT We all know that the Earth makes a complete revolution nasa.gov around the sun once every 365 days, following an orbit that is elliptical in shape. This means that the distance between the Earth and Sun, which is 93 million miles on average, varies throughout the year. The top of figure on the right illustrates that during the first week in January, the Earth is about 1.6 million miles closer to the sun. This is referred to as the perihelion.
