Saturn di waktu petang: 

How to Locate Saturn through Naked Eye? At what Time/Direction?


People can spot the Saturn with naked eye after sunset. Half hour after Sunset looking towards the sky opposite direction to sunset, in the evening one can spot Planet Saturn between East and South East direction.





 6 May sebelum Subuh : The Eta Aquarid Meteor Shower


Looking East-Southeast well before dawn on the morning of May 6th and given a good low horizon in that direction you you be able to spot some of the meteors that are part of the Eta Aquarid meteor shower.   As it is so close to full Moon, moonlight (though from the other side of the sky) is likely to hide many of the ~25 meteors per hour that might be seen from our northerly latitude. 

6/5 May 2012 : Bulan paling cerah dan terdekat dalam 100 Tahun!


At 1 am on the 6th May, the full Moon transits (lies due south) at which time its distance from the centre of the Earth will be 356,954 km.   This is the closest Full Moon to the Earth since January 1912.  When the Moon is closest, called "at Perigee" it can, of course, have any phase from new to full.   On the 5th/6th May Perigee corrisponds very closely with Full Moon - hence its large apparent size.  




22 May : Bulan Sabit Nipis dan Venus



After sunset on the 22nd, you may, given a low western horizon and clear skies, be able to spot Venus at magnitude -4.5 above a thin crescent Moon.   It is rare that you will be able to see two such thin cresents at one time!   Look out for the "earthshine" illuminating the "dark side" of the Moon - often called the "old Moon in the new Moon's arms".
