NARIT Sets the Stage for ‘Jupiter Spectacle’ during Halloween Festival
The National Astronomical Research Organization (NRCT) is captivating its audience with the announcement of a rare event: ‘Jupiter’s Closest Approach to Earth in the Year.’ Thai citizens are eagerly invited to witness this phenomenon through telescopes at five NARI observatories located in Chiang Mai, Nakhon Ratchasima, Chachoengsao, Songkhla, and Khon Kaen. Happening on November 3, 2023, the event promises a unique opportunity to witness Jupiter aligning with the Sun and Earth in a straight line, with planets aligning in between. At a staggering distance of approximately 595 million kilometers from Earth, this event coincides with the spooky Halloween festival, complete with a hair-raising photo released by NARI featuring a face-like image on Jupiter.
The eerie photo captures the “Jet N7” area, characterized by turbulent clouds near Jupiter’s north pole. The resemblance to a face can be attributed to the psychological phenomenon known as “pareidolia,” where the brain interprets familiar patterns in the surroundings. The image, taken during the Juno spacecraft’s 54th orbit around Jupiter, provides valuable insights into the planet’s atmosphere, revealing turbulent clouds and storms.
On November 3, 2023, as the sun sets, Jupiter will illuminate the eastern sky, offering a stunning sight visible to the naked eye throughout the night until dawn. For astronomy enthusiasts equipped with a telescope of at least 4 inches in diameter and a magnification of 30 times or more, the four Galilean moons, Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, along with Jupiter’s captivating cloud belts, will be observable. With a zoom power of 100 times or more, viewers will also be able to witness the awe-inspiring Big Red Spot, a colossal cyclone 1.3 times the size of Earth.
This extraordinary celestial event is a must-see for those wishing to delve deeper into the wonders of the universe. Whether observing or photographing, make sure to mark your calendars. The National Astronomical Research Institute (NARIT) has made the necessary preparations to provide an unforgettable experience. Don’t miss the chance to witness Jupiter’s closest encounter with Earth this year.
