WAM_ The team at the International Center for Astronomy (FEC) photographed the planets from the summit of Mount Hafeet in Al Ain, where the clear atmosphere allows high-resolution images.
The Center established a three-day monitoring camp during the period 19-21 July at the summit of Mount Hafeet.
The director of the International Center for Astronomy, Mohamed Shaukat Odeh, said the observations began just after sunset watching Venus, which appears to the west after sunset, the brightest in the world. sky after the sun and the moon. The day if the observer knew his position in the sky at that time.
The telescopes then directed the telescope to the moon and observed and photographed many lunar craters. The smallest lunar eclipse visible through the sighting devices was only 2 km in diameter.
He added that the team watching the face of the telescope towards Jupiter, the most brilliant celestial object in the sky after the sun and the moon and Venus and looks like a very brilliant white crime and is currently south after sunset. Its satellites have 79 satellites after discovering 12 new satellites a few days ago.
The red giant spot was also visible on his tablet and clearly photographed. One of the most beautiful phenomena that was also spotted and photographed is the sight of the shadow of one of Jupiter's moons on his disk. , which appears as a small black spot.
This phenomenon is an eclipse of the sun on Jupiter because of one of its moons and was filmed many weather phenomena on the Jupiter record, including the two Astoyan belts that appeared clearly in the photo.
Observers were able to see the line Cassini is a thin black line that separates the rings can not be seen except in the case of the purity of the atmosphere In addition to the rings were seen and photographed atmospheric phenomena
The telescope was oriented towards the planet Saturn. On his record as the belts of the planet Saturn and appeared clearly in the picture.
On July 25, the Moon will be only two degrees away from the planet Saturn and can be seen that night at the Moon to observe the observer for the presence of a bright golden color that is the same. is the planet Saturn.
Finally, the telescopes turned the telescope to Mars and photographed the icebergs on the surface. Clear water is clearly visible on the poles of the image, in addition to some dark features on the surface of Mars. Makes the view of these settings more difficult when the weather conditions on Mars and without the dust storms then appear darker on the surface more clearly.
Mars will be Tuesday, July 31 at the closest distance to Earth – 58 million km – the closest distance between the two planets since 2003 and can be seen at night to the naked eye as a very red object bright in the east.
The surveillance team used the latest global imaging techniques, using a 10-inch telescope and using a sophisticated astronomical camera capable of capturing 125 frames per second. The image of this planet is a collection of 4000 images on each other.
Observers have also used many surveillance pieces that improve surveillance, and then process the images with the help of several specialized astronomical programs.
Many observers present in the area participated in the surveillance, the team explained these phenomena to the public and observed the planets with the naked eye and through astronomical photography.
