동방박사가 따라갔던 베들레헴의 별 2000년만에 다시 나타나다

2015년 6월30일 저녁 금성과 목성이 1/3 도의 차이로 나타날것이다.

그것은 달의 지름도 되지 않는 거리다.  이 금성과 목성의 결합은 베들레헴의 별이라고 3-2 BC에는 얘기한 별이다. 6월 30일날 나타나는 이 현상은 우리 세대에 가장 잘 나타나는 결합이며 이와같은 결합이  2023년 3월 1일이나 다시 유사하게 나타나나 6월 30일 보다는 잘 볼 수 없을것이다.

Venus Star of Bethlehem That Wise Men Followed Appears Again After 2000 Years Read more at: http://tr.im/nt4h3

On the evening of June 30, Venus and Jupiter will appear in the sky just a third of a degree apart. “That's less than the diameter of a full Moon. You'll be able to hide the pair not just behind the palm of your outstretched hand, but behind your little pinky finger,” NASA enthuses.

Sky & Telescope suggests that a similar rare conjunction of Venus and Jupiter may have been what's been called the "Star of Bethlehem" in 3-2 BC. 

While the conjunction is certainly visible with the naked eye, Sky and Telescope says viewing it with a telescope or binoculars will offer a different perspective: “Both planets will crowd into same telescopic field of view, Venus appearing as a fat crescent and round Jupiter accompanied by its four large moons. The two planets will appear nearly as the same size, but Jupiter, though much larger in reality, is much farther away.... Their globes will contrast dramatically in brightness, with Venus’s crescent appearing dazzling white compared to Jupiter’s duller, striped cloud deck.”

Pat Hartigan, an astronomer at Rice University, says the conjunction on June 30 is the best one we will have for over a decade, rivaled only by one on March 1, 2023, which will not be not quite as close.

So where and when should we look for it? Look to the west-northwest as soon as it gets dark, says Dr. Hartigan. "After about two hours for most latitudes the objects will become difficult to observe as they begin to set. They are bright. You might mistake them for airplanes."

Is this a significant astronomical event? Not really. "These planetary groupings in the sky have no effect on Earth or human affairs – except for one," says Alan MacRobert at Sky & Telescope. "They can lift our attention away from our own little world into the enormous things beyond. That's what amateur astronomers do all the time."
