Two very recent images of the passing planets. Surely everyone can see these. The planets are surrounded by their own atmospheres/clouds and all of them are unique and easily identifiable once you know.

You need to bear in mind that these planets are halfway between Earth and our Sun.
ReplyDeleteThey are rotating around their sun, which is behind our sun.
It's been explained that they appear larger to us, because it's as though we are looking through water - when objects will appear to be larger than they actually are. The "water" we are looking through is the atmosphere - theirs and ours.
As I look up at the sky here in Israel it is just plain old blue with 1 yellow and round sun. Why do all the interesting appearances happen in far-off random places. I look up at the sky a lot in Israel and what I see is quite predictable. Not complaining, just wondering.
ReplyDeleteMostly the sky looks normal here as well. It's really mazal to see things, but it also helps to know what you're actually looking for. People photograph this stuff all the time and most of those people have no idea what it is they are seeing.
Deletebut.... I have seen them over the israeli skies in photos, not recently though.
