On June 5438+065438+1October 2, 2006, Jupiter was not far from the east side of the sun, but its brilliance was concealed because the sun was too bright. In the future, Jupiter will slowly approach the sun and finally turn to the west of the sun. It's not far from the sun around New Year's Day. You can see it before the sun comes out in the morning, but you can't see it after it comes out. At present, the four planets of the sun are all near the sun except Saturn. At present, only Saturn is far away from the sun, and it is most convenient to observe it from about 3: 00 to 5: 00 in the morning. After 5: 50, the sun is not clear.
Take 4 am as an example. At this time, Saturn is located on the west side of Xuanyuan XIV, the main star of Leo, and it is very bright. The search method takes Orion as the coordinate center, and Betelgeuse, the bright star on the left shoulder of Orion, Sirius, the brightest star in the whole day, and Nanhesan, the main star of canines above Sirius, form an equilateral triangle. There are two bright stars not far from the direction indicated by the upper left corner of the equilateral triangle, Xuanyuan XIV in the east and Xuanyuan XIV in the west.
