Get ready to See the Eclipse, Meteor Shower, and Jupiter this October

Throughout October 2014 it will happen some rare phenomena in the sky, thereforeprepare an eye to look at the beauty that will adorn the sky night after night.

Of the total Lunar Eclipse and meteor shower can be seen on this month. Not onlythat, the beauty of the planets are also presented in the sky. Some of them could even be seen with the naked eye.

Astronomer and head of the National Institute of Aeronautical and space (Lapan)Thomas Djamaluddin to Kapoww. com, Tuesday (3/10/2014), says, some skyphenomenon which can be seen throughout October 2014, i.e.:

1. Total Lunar Eclipse

On the total lunar eclipse, the moon will be visible as a reddish bleeding. This is because the Moon is covered by the shadow of the Earth but the Sun's light terbiaskanto evoke the impression of reddish.

This phenomenon occurred on October 8, 2014. Thomas says, this Lunar Eclipseoccurred at 16.15 BST. However, for the region of Western Indonesia, such as Jakarta,could not see the early occurrence of eclipses of the Moon inasmuch as it has not yet been published.

The new total eclipse occurred at 17.25-at 18 pm. And overall the Eclipse ended at 19pm. The new Western Indonesia could witness the Eclipse is when the Eclipse is totalhas already happened. But for the eastern region of Indonesia to witness the wholeprocess of this total lunar eclipse.

"The whole area of Indonesia could observe it like watching the full moon," saidThomas.

2. the Orionids Meteor Shower

This meteor shower can be observed from Indonesia. Because when this eventoccurred on the Summit, October 21, 2014, in the middle of old alias is not full.

There will be 15 meteors falling per hour. The shape is like a shooting star attractions.Thomas predicted, some in between there was a meteor-sized big enough.

3. the Draconids Meteor Shower

Unlike draconids meteor shower, the Orionids peak occurred on 7 October 2014.Draconids meteor shower is a meteor shower in the northern sky.

But Thomas says, this phenomenon would hardly be observed from Indonesia. Because of this, including minor meteor shower his scale. Plus more full moon occurred on 8 October. So a meteor would glide hindered by Moonlight ablaze.

"Meteor shower was defeated by Moonlight," said Thomas.

4. Jupiter and Mars Ablaze

This month, some of the planets can be seen with the naked eye. One of Jupiter. Light is the largest planet in the solar system is very bright indeed.

Jupiter can be seen starting from the early morning until dawn ahead of the easternsky. "Incidentally its position allows a strong light. His position almost close to the Sun, "explained Thomas.

In addition to the other planet Jupiter, which is also quite light on this month is Mars.The Planet is often called twin Earth could be seen starting at 22.00 pm till dawn.

"As the brightest red colour, characteristic," he said.

Saturn also is not to be outdone. These conditions are usually ringed Planet light onthis month. Even so, Saturn to be seen using a telescope in order to help the ringappears. If you don't use a telescope, Saturn just looks like a point of light star only.

While Uranus is fainter such sightings. But he can still be seen throughout the nightdespite having to use a telescope. (Sun)
