Mercury would have only been visible for a little bit after the sun set. Why do you think that it doesn't stay in the night sky for very long? (Hint: think about how close it is to the sun.)
Venus is the brightest one in the sky. This is because it is the closest planet to us, so it seems brighter.
Jupiter is the smallest one at the very top of the picture. We know that Jupiter is the biggest planet in our solar system, so why do you think it's the smallest looking planet in the sky on nights like this?

THATS WHAT YUHH WERE TALKING ABOUT MS.WILLARD-MERSADIES
ReplyDeleteHi Mersadies!
DeleteYes, this is what I was talking about. I looked up at the sky tonight, but I don't think everything is lined up like it was this weekend. :( Sad! It's still cool to look at the picture, though.
Ms. Willard
THAT IS SO COOL I WISH I COULD SEE IT . DID YOU TOOK THAT PICTURE? WELL BYE - NOHELANI
ReplyDeleteHi Nohelani!
DeleteI didn't take that picture, but it's still pretty cool to look at though. I'll try to keep up with the activities in the night sky over the next few months so that I can tell you guys when to check out planets, stars, and constellations.
Ms. Willard
Greetings Ms Willard and Class!
ReplyDeleteI was actually able to observe this celestial alignment in late February. While it may have been a challenge in the Northwest due to cloud cover, I happened to be in Utah at the time and was able to see this amazing sight!
