  1. And if you want to know more about the #planetaryparade and why the planets always parade along a line that arcs across our sky, check out this thread from last year's 7-planet parade.... bsky.app/profile/astr...

  2. How are the #planetaryparade fans doing tonight? Clear skies here so I took up the challenge! 😎Jupiter (easy - right of the moon) 👍Venus (bright on the W horizon) 👌Saturn (trickier - need to know where to look) 🤷‍♀️Mercury (in hiding) 🙅‍♀️Neptune and Uranus (needs 🔭) 📷 @[email protected]

  3. 🪐 Dnes večer! Planetární přehlídka nad Českem — šest planet na obloze: Merkur, Venuše, Saturn, Jupiter, Uran a Neptun.
    Z ČR pozorujte od ~18:10 (30 min po západu). Jupiter dominuje vysoko na východě. Venuši a Saturn hledejte nízko nad západem. Merkur bude příliš slabý, Neptun neviditelný.
    Na Uran dalekohled — hledejte pod Plejádami. Jasnou oblohu! 🔭

  7. I will be very interested to see pictures of the #PlanetaryAlignment especially from any of you who use a professional process, like an eyepiece between the camera and the telescope. I'm going the primitive route, hoping that I don't shake the camera.

    And yes, it's really an arc, not a straight line. I understand elliptical orbit. And maybe it's overhyped, but anything that the world can experience together, like those crazy low latitude Auroras, or the Solar Eclipse, are the kinds of events which make me feel a connection to everyone.

  9. My neighbour was sad - tonight's poor cloud forecast meant she would "miss the great #planetaryparade". Good news: this is an ongoing phenomenon so #DoLookUp whenever your skies clear! Mercury is in the sunset West, getting easier to spot as days pass! Venus, Jupiter & Mars resplendent as ever. 🔭

  10. Loved seeing @astronomyedinburgh.bsky.social President Mark Phillips & neighbours on the 10pm BBC News last night, complemented by @robertmassey.bsky.social & some high-tech planet graphics. Thanks so much @pallabg.bsky.social for encouraging everyone to look up at the #PlanetaryParade! 🔭 #scicomm

  11. And if you wanted to see my wee contribution to the show here we go (I might have omitted to mention that I used a cheating e-bike 😇) #PlanetaryParade 🔭 #scicomm

  12. #PlanetaryParade fans: all 7 planets are now in the sky for ~1hr after sunset. Mercury joins the pack low on the Western horizon but it's hard to see, hiding in the sunset glare with Saturn. Tried to catch it this evening, but the weather Gods had other plans so here's Venus and Jupiter instead! 🧪🔭

  13. In conclusion, I love a good #PlanetaryParade but this is a ~2month extravaganza! #DoLookUp Venus is aeroplane-bright in the West, Mars super red in the East and Jupiter shining bright up above. Wishing you all clear skies! 🔭🧪 🧵/end 📹 @chrislintott.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

  14. #PlanetaryParade excitement is fantastic! #DoLookUp But I'm baffled by the media saying 25th Jan is a "once in a lifetime event" 🔭🧪 The awesome foursome Mars, Jupiter, Venus & Saturn have been on display for weeks + Neptune & Uranus if you have a telescope. We won't see Mercury until late Feb🤔 🧵1/6
