The spectacle of "Eight Stars" is being staged over Hong Kong. If you miss it, it will not appear until 2205!

According to the Observatory, although the second "Five Stars Convergence" started as early as May 22, one of the "eight stars in a row" phenomenon, this year is the best viewing time of the year, and the five stars appear in the night sky for the longest time.

From now to next Monday (27th), as long as you look up at about 4:30 in the morning and before sunrise, you can see the five planets of earth, wood, fire, gold and water accompanying the moon. The moon" is also listed in the night sky.


In fact, at this time, Uranus, Neptune, and the "dwarf planet" Pluto, which are invisible to the naked eye, also traveled nearby.

Sik Sik Yuen Keguan Nature Education Center cum Planetarium suggested that citizens can walk to the seaside without buildings or the suburbs without light pollution to watch and look east.


There are three "Five Stars Gathering" this year, and mid-to-late June is the best viewing time of the year

The Observatory said that there will be three "five-star gatherings" this year, and mid-to-late June is the best viewing period of the year, during which the five stars appear in the night sky for the longest time.

The Observatory also pointed out that the most special thing about this "planetary convergence" is that the seven planets and Pluto will rarely be on one side of the solar system, so before sunrise, whether it is water, gold, fire, and wood that can be seen with the naked eye. And Saturn, or the unseen Uranus, Neptune and Pluto will all converge over Hong Kong.

Earth, wood, fire, gold, and water are the five planets side by side, and the "Eight Stars" must be rewarded with a telescope

Taking today (25th) as an example, Mercury, the latest of the five stars, will rise from the eastern horizon before 4:30 in the morning, and the five planets of earth, wood, fire, gold and water will appear in the night sky at the same time until dawn. It took more than 1 hour before and after the day was getting brighter.

According to the pictures provided by readers, the five planets were juxtaposed in a line this morning, with the brighter moon connecting the five stars to form the "five stars accompanying the moon".

However, if you want to watch the "Eight Stars", you need to use a telescope to observe or photograph.

No buildings to block the seaside, no light pollution in the suburbs, looking to the east is the best next time until 2205

The Sik Sik Yuen Keguan Nature Education Center and Planetarium explained that in fact, the "eight stars in a row" does not mean that the planets are strung together like a string of fish eggs, but only from the perspective of the earth. A group of stars seemed to line up.

The planetarium also pointed out that the next time there will be more concentrated "eight-star series" until 2205. It is recommended that citizens look to the east, and it is more ideal to go to the seaside without buildings or the suburbs without light pollution.

The Observatory expects the weather to be clear and clear in recent days, and the best viewing time is from 4:30 in the morning to before sunrise

The planetarium also stated that the "five stars accompanying the moon" can also be seen with the naked eye until next Monday (27th), and the best viewing time is from 4:30 in the morning to before sunrise.

According to the Observatory's weather forecast, the high-altitude anticyclone is bringing generally fine weather to southern China. The weather has been clear and clear in recent days. It is believed that the public can seize the last two days to enjoy the rare astronomical phenomenon.
