Venus Reaches Maximum Luminosity: See the Brightest Planet in the Solar System Without a Telescope

2023-07-07 07:53:00

Solar system planet Venus reaches its greatest luminosity from the 7th. The period in which you can appreciate the large and bright Venus without a telescope is for three days from the 7th to the 9th of this month. On the morning of the 7th, the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) delivered a guide to viewing Venus, which reached its maximum luminosity that evening, through its official SNS. Venus reaches maximum luminosity on the night of the 7th, practically shining very brightly all weekend. In general, exoplanets orbiting the sun outward from the earth appear brightest from the earth when the earth is halfway between the sun and the corresponding planet.

At this time, the planet’s surface is 100% illuminated by sunlight as seen from Earth. However, this timing does not come for the inner planet Venus, which orbits the sun in an inner orbit than the earth. In particular, Venus, currently approaching near Earth in its orbit around the sun, appears in the shape of a crescent moon. It is a crescent moon that reaches its maximum luminosity on the 7th, but only illuminates regarding a quarter of it. The reason Venus still shines round is because its atmosphere is layered with clouds of sulfuric acid, which have extremely high albedo. Venus has the highest albedo of any planet in the solar system, reflecting 75-84% of sunlight. Venus and the Akatsuki probe <사진=미 항공우주국(NASA) 공식 홈페이지>

As of 5 p.m. on the 7th, Seoul and the metropolitan area have clear weather without clouds, so you can easily see Venus in the night sky with the naked eye. In case it rains, you can use YouTube. Overseas YouTube channel ‘The Virtual Telescope Project’ will use two robotic telescopes installed in Ceccano, central Italy, to live-stream Venus at its maximum brightness from 6:30 am on the 8th. The next time Venus will regain its maximum luminosity will be September 19th. Reporter Jeong Ian [email protected] ⇨ Go to Sputnik Naver Post ⇨ Go to Sputnik YouTube channel
