Listen to the images of the planets .. Here harvest 3 days of surveillance

Director of the International Astronomy Center reveals the details of the wonderful scenes

The International Center for Astronomy has succeeded to capture distinctive images of UAE sky planets, after The center set up a three-day observation camp during the period from July 19 to 21 at the summit of Mount Hafeet in Al Ain, where clear skies allows astronomical images at high resolution.

The Director of the International Astronomy Center, the engineer Mohamed Shawkat Odeh, told "Sabad" the details of these three days of observation: Monitoring began immediately after sunset sun, observing Venus, which appears in the west after sunset. The sky after the sun and the moon, where it appears as a very bright white body, and can be seen with the naked eye in broad daylight if the observer knew his position in the sky at that time Observers followed the telescope to the moon and watched and photographed several of the lunar craters. Thanks to monitoring devices, it is only two kilometers in diameter! The Jupiter is the most brilliant celestial object in the sky after the sun, the moon and Venus, and the buyer looks like a very bright white object, and is currently located in the south after sunset , where Observers were able to see and photograph many of the Jupiter phenomena: the four brightest satellites were seen by the buyer: he owned 79 satellites after discovering 12 new satellites a few days ago. On the other side, the giant red dot was seen on the disc and was clearly photographed.

The astronomer "returns" to the most beautiful phenomena observed and photographed: the vision of one of Jupiter's satellites on his disk, which appears as a small black spot, claiming that this phenomenon is an eclipse of the sun on Jupiter; Many weather phenomena are represented on Jupiter's disk, including both belts.

The telescope was also directed towards Saturn, its rings were clearly visible, and because of the pure and pure atmosphere, observers could see the Cassini line, a thin black line separating its rings, visible only in the case of atmospheric clarity In addition to his rings, he saw and photographed atmospheric phenomena on his disc such as the belts of the planet Saturn, which is clearly visible on the image, adding that on Wednesday, July 25, the moon would fall to two degrees from the planet Saturn. The presence of a brilliant golden color, it is the planet Saturn.

The "return": Finally, the observers turned the telescope to Mars, and were able to photograph the ice poles on the surface, which is visible on the poles of the image, in addition to the poles appear on the surface of Mars, which is an extensive rocky area, and Mars is currently experiencing dust storms, making the view of these parameters more difficult, when the weather conditions on Mars and without the dust storms appear darker on its surface more clearly, noting that in a day Tuesday, July 31 will be a bitter planet The closest distance between the two planets since 2003, and can be seen at night to the naked eye throughout the month as an object very bright red in the east after dark.

The "return" that the surveillance team used the latest global techniques to photograph the planets, where the use of a telescope with a 10-inch computer, in addition to the l? use of a sophisticated astronomical camera capable of capturing 125 frames per second, Picture above the other! Observers used several elements of observation to improve the tracking, and the images were then processed using several specialized astronomical programs, indicating that many observers present in the area were involved in surveillance. At the naked eye and through astronomical photography.
