2017 Tanzania highlights DETAILS ARRANGED

2017 Tanzania highlights DETAILS ARRANGED

The year started with a close line of three bright objects, Crescent Moon, Venus and Mars prominently for several days near the west horizon. The Moon-Venus-Mars triplet group together again on January 31st and and the the line-up continues after that until February 3.

Again, at the end of February on 28th the triplet is together again though not so close together near the west horizon soon after sunset.

The Venus and Mars pair remain visible together in the evening sky for the whole of February with the pair shifting slightly rightwards over the days.

VENUS

Venus is spectacularly bright now after reaching highest elevation in the sky and has entered the crescent phase and visible as a broad crescent through a telescope. The crescent will grow thinner as well as more than double in size as the planet gets closer to Earth.

MARCH

25 11 Venus at Inferior Conjunction

JUNE

03 11 Venus at Greatest Elong: 45.9°W

June 3 - Venus at Greatest Western Elongation. The planet Venus reaches greatest eastern elongation of 45.9 degrees from the Sun. This is the best time to view Venus since it will be at its highest point above the horizon in the morning sky. Look for the bright planet in the eastern sky before sunrise.

November 13 - Conjunction of Venus and Jupiter. A spectacular conjunction of Venus and Jupiter will be visible in the evening sky. The two bright planets will be extremely close, appearing only 0.3 degrees apart. Look for this impressive pairing in the Eastern sky just before sunrise.

MARS

???

URANUS (NEAR MARS)

During the last week of March a close approach of Mars and Uranus near the west horizon will provide an opportunity of observing Uranus closely, even with naked eyes since it is just visible to the naked eyes if observed carefully in dark skies near Mars.

June 1 to 6 can be another opportunity to look for Uranus when it comes within 2 degrees of Venus in the early morning skies above the east horizon.

Uranus comes to opposition in mid October and though it is slightly brighter there is no bright nearby planet to mark it out for you.

JUPITER

April 7 - Jupiter at Opposition. The giant planet will be at its closest approach to Earth and its face will be fully illuminated by the Sun. It will be brighter than any other time of the year and will be visible all night long. This is the best time to view and photograph Jupiter and its moons. A medium-sized telescope should be able to show you some of the details in Jupiter's cloud bands. A good pair of binoculars should allow you to see Jupiter's four largest moons, appearing as bright dots on either side of the planet.

ECLIPSES

Feb 10/11: Penumbral Lunar Eclipse

A penumbral lunar eclipse is hard to see with the naked eye and is often mistaken for an ordinary Full Moon. The eclipse will be visible from Europe, most of Asia, Africa, and most of North America.

11 00:44 Pen. Lunar Eclipse; mag=0.988

26 14:53 Annular Solar Eclipse; mag=0.992

February 26 - Annular Solar Eclipse. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon is too far away from the Earth to completely cover the Sun. This results in a ring of light around the darkened Moon. The Sun's corona is not visible during an annular eclipse. The path of the eclipse will begin off the coast of Chile and pass through southern Chile and southern Argentina, across the southern Atlantic Ocean, and into Angola and Congo in Africa. A partial eclipse will be visible throughout parts of southern South America and southwestern Africa.

= The typical ring of fire of an annular solar eclipse will be visible in a narrow belt stretching from southern and western Africa, much of South America, the Pacific, the Atlantic, the Indian Ocean, and Antarctica. In surrounding areas, a partial solar eclipse will be visible.

07 18:20 Partial Lunar Eclipse; mag=0.246

August 7 - Partial Lunar Eclipse. A partial lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes through the Earth's partial shadow, or penumbra, and only a portion of it passes through the darkest shadow, or umbra. During this type of eclipse a part of the Moon will darken as it moves through the Earth's shadow. The eclipse will be visible throughout most of eastern Africa, central Asia, the Indian Ocean, and Australia. (NASA Map and Eclipse Information)

The partial lunar eclipse on August 7 to 8, 2017 will be visible from most parts of southern and eastern Asia, Europe, Africa, and Australia.

August 21 - Total Solar Eclipse. A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon completely blocks the Sun, revealing the Sun's beautiful outer atmosphere known as the corona. This is a rare, once-in-a-lifetime event for viewers in the United States. The last total solar eclipse visible in the continental United States occurred in 1979 and the next one will not take place until 2024. The path of totality will begin in the Pacific Ocean and travel through the center of the United States. The total eclipse will be visible in parts of Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina before ending in the Atlantic Ocean. A partial eclipse will be visible in most of North America and parts of northern South America. (NASA Map and Eclipse Information | Detailed Zoomable Map of Eclipse Path)

The total solar eclipse on August 21, 2017, has been nicknamed the Great American Eclipse as it will be visible in a path spanning all across the United States from the East Coast to the West Coast.

Totality will only be seen in a narrow belt, and surrounding areas will see a partial solar eclipse.

EQUINOXES AND SOLSTICES

20 10:29 Vernal Equinox

March 20 - March Equinox. The March equinox occurs at 10:29 UTC. The Sun will shine directly on the equator and there will be nearly equal amounts of day and night throughout the world. This is also the first day of spring (vernal equinox) in the Northern Hemisphere and the first day of fall (autumnal equinox) in the Southern Hemisphere.

The March equinox is the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and the start of fall in the Southern Hemisphere by astronomical season definitions.

June 21: June Solstice 21 04:25 Summer Solstice

June 21 - June Solstice. The June solstice occurs at 04:24 UTC. The North Pole of the earth will be tilted toward the Sun, which will have reached its northernmost position in the sky and will be directly over the Tropic of Cancer at 23.44 degrees north latitude. This is the first day of summer (summer solstice) in the Northern Hemisphere and the first day of winter (winter solstice) in the Southern Hemisphere.

This solstice is the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, where it is the longest day of the year.

In the Southern Hemisphere, it's the winter solstice and the shortest day of the year.

People around the world converge at the Stonehenge, England to celebrate the June Solstice.21

JULY 03 20 Earth at Aphelion: 1.01668 AU

3-Earth at aphelion

At 20:11 (8:11 pm) UTC on July 3, 2017, Earth will be at aphelion: the furthest point from the Sun in its yearly orbit.

The opposite happens in January when Earth reaches perihelion.

September 22 20:02 - September Equinox. Autumnal Equinox

The September equinox occurs at 20:02 UTC. The Sun will shine directly on the equator and there will be nearly equal amounts of day and night throughout the world. This is also the first day of fall (autumnal equinox) in the Northern Hemisphere and the first day of spring (vernal equinox) in the Southern Hemisphere.

The September equinox is the first day of fall in the Northern Hemisphere and the start of spring in the Southern Hemisphere by astronomical season definitions.

Dec 21 16:29 December Solstice Winter Solstice

The December solstice is winter solstice and the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, it is summer solstice and the longest day of the year.
