This month Venus reappears above the eastern horizon before the sunrise. The southernmost point reached till now is the city of Salinas (Puerto Rico), the northernmost - village of Chokurdakh (Yakutia-Sakha), the easternmost is the city of Pevek (Chukotsky District), the westernmost - the town of Waialua (Oahu Island).Diary of Astronomical Phenomena for November 2018įor the Star Gazing in November click here I have observed three total (1999, 2006, 2017) and one annular (2012) solar eclipse, two transits of Venus, three transits of Mercury (2003, 2016, 2019), and almost a hundred comets. Took part in the media support of the XXIX and XXX General Assemblies of the International Astronomical Union, two STARMUS festivals (2016, 2019). Published on its pages more than one and a half hundred articles and one science fiction story “The Principle of non-interference”. I started writing materials for The Universe Space Tech magazine in 2004, and joined the editing staff in August 2005. In 1991-1992, I wrote several articles on astronomy for the newspaper “Vechirniy Kyiv”, already under the pseudonym Volodymyr Ostriv. In the summer of the same year, I took part in the expedition to the path of a total solar eclipse to Chukotka under the leadership of Klym Ivanovych Churiumov, with whom I maintained friendly relations till his death (the eclipse could not be seen due to bad weather). I tried to publish my first article on astronomical topics in 1990, rather unsuccessfully. The Moon is 2° north of Spica (α Virgo, 1.0ᵐ)įollow us on Twitter to get the most interesting space news in timeīorn in 1972 in Kyiv, where I graduated from school and the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute with a degree in chemical engineering-technology.The Moon is in the phase of the first quarter.The Moon is 4° north of Regulus (α Leo, 1,3ᵐ).The Moon is at apogee, 405385 km from the center of the Earth.The Moon is 4° south of Pollux (β Gemini, 1,2ᵐ). ![]() The Moon is 4° north of Mercury (-0.8ᵐ).The Moon is 1° north of Jupiter (-2.1ᵐ).The Moon is at perigee, 364860 km from the center of the Earth.Venus is at its greatest eastern elongation (45.4°).The Moon is 0.5° north of Antares (α Scorpio, 1.0ᵐ).The author of the picture is Natalia Sukhina (Kyiv Club of astronomy enthusiasts “Astropolis”) On June 21, the crescent moon will be not far from it, and on the last day of the month it will approach 3.5° to Mars, but it will not “catch up” with it and in early July it will begin to move away from it. Every evening, it will appear as the brightest star above the western horizon. Firstly, this applies to the planets, of which Venus is now the best visible - on June 4, it will pass the maximum eastern elongation and move away from the Sun by 45.4°. However, many celestial bodies can be observed at dusk. On the 48th parallel, it still comes on this day, but very briefly. This means that the evening astronomical twilight actually turns into the morning, and the “real” night does not begin. On June 21, the day of the summer solstice, at the latitude of Kyiv, the solar disk even at midnight sinks below the horizon by less than 16°. The first month of summer is the least favorable for astronomical observations in Ukraine and in general in Northern Europe and America. ![]()
