See a live stream of all seven planets in the night sky tonight

A live stream enables armchair skygazers to see all seven planets conveniently from home tonight to a rare planetary parade.

The virtual telescopic project will start with Live Streaming today at 12 noon (the video is embedded on this page). Although it is referred to as a virtual telescope project, the telescopes are very real and are located in Manciano, Italy, where there is dark sky.

The astrophysicist Gianluca Masi will align the live stream. “Such a parade takes place from time to time and we would like to share this event with our friends around the world,” writes Masi in a explanation.

Although there is a rare planetary parade in the night sky this week, recognizing all seven planets is practically impossible without help. like an app. And if you can't make it outside, it is a great way to get the spectacle from an expert directly into your living room in your living room.

Masi explains that the reason why mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune in the night sky occurs at the same time that all the planets in aircraft are not much different from the orbit of the earth.

Speak to the New York TimesDr. Gerard van Bell, director of science at Lowell Observatory in Arizona, compares it with a vinyl record – think of the center when the sun and the grooves represent the orbits of the planets that rotate around them.

Here on earth is our viewpoint on one of these grooves that look beyond the circle. This week it simply happens that all other planets are exactly the right position to see from the earth.

The planetary parade begins as soon as the sun goes down, Mercury and Saturn will both be very deep in the sky when the evening sun fades. You are probably the two planets that are most difficult to see.

It is of course an opportunity for photographers to get a unique picture, and a Josh Dury has already achieved from Somerset, England.

“The biggest challenge was to catch the planets closest to the sun: Mercury and Saturn,” said Dury to Petapixel. “A high dynamic range (HDR) had to be applied to the far right of a disc area of ​​the panorama.”
