National Astronomical Research Institute NARIT revealed in the early hours of the day December 31, 2022 The 7 planets in the solar system will appear aligned in the sky along the trajectory of the sun with the 9th waxing moon, starting to observe after the sun goes down onwards Five of the brightest planets are visible to the naked eye: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, while the other two, Uranus and Neptune, must be observed through large telescopes.
The planets appeared in the sky at the same time. and line up like this Caused by each planet orbiting in a position that can be seen at the same time from an observer’s point of view on Earth. As for the view from space, the planets are not aligned in a straight line. Because each planet orbits differently distributed according to the orbit of that star. The opportunity to line up for observers on earth to see at the same time is a rare phenomenon. Especially appearing in a row as many as 7 stars like this if the sky is clear without rain clouds Thai people will have the opportunity to see the beauty of the astronomical phenomena in the early evening throughout the country.
