New things always inspire us and make us more curious about the future. We always think about the future. Pasts events like passing of halley's comets, that had occured in the year 1986, had made the peoples of that time to think about this mysterious universe more. And many mysterious and wonderful things are still happening in our universe which are hidden from the eyes of mankind, "telescopes".
Our universe is big and infinite. There are many mysterious events that had occur in our universe time to time. And future of our universe will also be the witness of these jewels and glorious ceremonies. In my past topic I have listed out some events that had occurred in our universe. Now in this topic I am going to sort some mysterious events that will take place in the future of our universe. If you have not read my previous topic then click here. So for now, be prepare, because you are going to see some amazing lunar eclipses, comet attacks, planetary pairing and many more wonderful events.
So Let's Explore...................................................
1.The Super Blue Moon
In this new year a special surprise is waiting for us and we are going to witness a most awaiting event, "the super blue moon lunar eclipse".
It will be a total lunar eclipse and you have upto two chance to see this amazing and wonderful event. The first opportunity will arrive on January 31, when the deep dark shadow of our planet will slowly crawl the bright silvery coloured lunar surface as the planet moves between the sun and the Moon.
In addition to this you will also get a gift of seeing a super moon, when the orbit of Moon will relatively close to the earth's orbit, then the si ze of the moon will be visible as the twice of its original size as seen from the Earth. And on January 31, the full moon will be also known as the blue moon.
The entire eclipse will be visible from western Pacific Ocean, Alaska, Western Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, Indonesia, Philippines, China and Japan. In Eastern North America, peoples can only see a partial eclipse because this event will start near sunrise.
2.The Planet Parade
In March, you will be able to see a prestigious parade of the three planets, the Mars, the Jupiter and the Saturn. These planets will entirely dominate the southeastern sky through their alignment at the time of dawn.
As on this day these planets will hover near each other in the sky. After few nights, on March 7, the moon will be visible to in their wonderful parade to give them salute. And on March 8, our moon will tuck itself between Mars and Jupiter to celebrate the ending.
3.The Guest Of Venus
At the time of dusk, the cosmic lovers will be going to see a new guest of the planet Venus, which is known to us. And that is our own, "Moon". When you saw the sky you will se a thin blur waxing image of the moon which will appear stunningly closer with the planet Venus in the Southwestern sky.
The peoples of North America would see this meeting clearly. This event will appear to be separated by less than 1.6°, which is equal to the three lunar disks.
4.The Total Lunar Eclipse
Now this is your second chance to see the moon that will go darker and darker on the evening of the July 27. This total lunar eclipse will be visible to Europe, Australia, America, Africa and Asia.
On this time, the lunar eclipse will be half a day but after the moon reaches its farthest point from the planet Earth, making this full moon smaller for the last eclipse that had happened in the year of 2017.
The total version of this lunar eclipse will being at 3:30 p.m. ET (19:309 UT). During this time the moon will travel through the darkest part of the Earth's shadow, which will make a deep total lunar eclipse.
5.The Mars In Mood
You have known about the lunar eclipse of July 27. On this sane day the planet Mars will starts it's journey to meet the moon. And during the ending of this journey the Mars will reaches to its peak brightness and shows off its attitude.
The Mars will be in the position of opposition. In this position, the planet will face opposite to the Sun from our prespective. And at the time of this event the planet Mars will looks like a super-bright orange star in the southern direction.
The Mars does not have a perfect circular orbit around the Sun, that's why this red planet gets nearer and farther from the Earth time to time. So in this year the Mars will be slightly closer to our planet upto 35.8 million miles on the July 31. So this means the Mars will be more bigger amd brighter than its normality.
"On this event, the planet Mars will be more bigger, brighter and closer to us ever, since of the year 2003 and will not get this close to us again until the year 2035".
If you see this planet with naked eyes, it will look spectacular while you can use backyard telescopes and can view some wonderful Marcia features like it's polar caps and dark volcanic plains.
6.The Partial Solar Eclipse
When we woke up we see a shining bright ball Emitting orange - red light in the skyline. But on the August 11, everything will changed. A partial solar eclipse will welcomes you across the high northern areas of North America, Europe, Greenland, Iceland and Asia.
What will be the size of this eclipse, will be mostly depends upon your location but most amazing views can be caught from the remote sites in Russia and large parts of northeastern China like city of Harbin, where the moon will cover at least 37% of total Sun, few minutes before the local sunset.
7.Perseid Meteor Shower
Known as the one of the most awaiting and intense anual meteor showers, the perseids produces regularly upto 60 shooting stars an hour at their peak value.
So in this year this shower will run at its full potential as when this will happen, the will be deep and dark because there will be no moon day(absence of moon) on that day of August 12 and the predawn hours of August 13.
The thin crescent moon will arise during the early evenings of August 12 creating an excellent conditions to view this event with the bucket of chicken and popcorn. And don't forget to take selfies.
8.Mayday, Mayday, Mayday incoming!
If everything would be fine, then from early pedictions a comet named, "46P/Wirtanen", may be bright enough in December 12 to be seen easily with naked eyes. It will be the brightest comet which can be seen from Northern Hemisphere in more than five years.
This icy giant will reach its perihelion on the December 12 and will continue its journey through the winter constellation of Taurus. After four days of travelling around the Sun, the comet will make its closest encounter with the plabet Earth coming nearest upto 7.2 miles on its road towards the solar system.
I hope that at this point, the comet should burnt out completely because it will passes through many Pleaded and Hyades star clusters.
Betelgeuse's Supernovae
It may happen. First of all I want to tell you that the Betelgeuse has been existed for more than ten billion years, that's why there has became a debate around the scientists to know the destination and demise of the Betelgeuse.
Betelgeuse is a well known star in the constellation of orion. One can easily identify this star due to its size, color and placement in orion's belt. Betelgeuse is the eight brightest star in the night sky and second brightest star in the constellation of orion. If you can find the orion belt then you can easily locate it as it looks reddish in colour.
It is a red - supergiant star and one of the most largest and brightest star till known. Betelgeuse is so big and huge that if you replace it with our Sun then it can concour and devour everything out to orbit of jupiter. It is about 640 light years away from the Earth.
Astronomers believe that Betelgeuse has existed for more that 10 billion years so due to it mass it has turned into a "runaway star", which is heading towards its extinction soon. Astronomers have theorised that it can go into supernovae anytime (may be today) or it may have blasted off into supernovae but due to its huge distance we only can see it after 640 years (since Betelgeuse is 640 light years away so it light reaches to us after every 640 years).
So when this event would happen then it will be the most brightest event that have occurred in the history of mankind. And it would light up the sky upto six- eight month continuously. So it is coming soon.
