3 Mac 2026. Gerhana Bulan Penuh. Bulan Darah. Tapi ada sikit cabaran – dia jadi waktu bulan baru nak terbit. So, korang kena cari view Timur yang lapang.

Lihat sebelah matahari terbenam, boleh nampak "bintang" cerah. Itu adalah planet Zuhrah, kalau nampak ada "bintang" malap atasnya, itu adalah planet Zuhal.

Jika ada teleskop, boleh lihat gelang Zuhal tu.

Kongsikan gambar anda pula!

Venus reaches its greatest eastern elongation, 47.2 degrees away from the Sun, making it the ideal time to observe the planet. It will be positioned at its highest point in the evening sky, visible in the western sky just after sunset. Look for the bright planet as the sun sets!

I captured another stabilized sky timelapse to visualize the Earth’s rotation. This is about 5 hours of real time. I also recorded a behind-the-scenes timelapse, as well. Captured at the Alabama Hills, CA in Sept 2022.
