今夜も明日も見える惑星のランデヴー

　 今夜も惑星たちのランデヴーが西南の空に見えます。５時から６時半頃までです。三日月は東へかなり離れます。左から土星、最も明るい金星、そして最も右で地平線近くが木星です。このランデヴーは日本だけでなく、世界中で見られます。私たちは同じ地球人だからです。南半球では惑星たちが北西に並びます。

 　一方、他の天体から見れば地球も並んで見えるかもしれません。

 Tonight, we are able to see the planet's lining up in the southwestern sky from about 5 to 6:30. The crescent moon is considerably away from these planets. From the left, three planets are Saturn, the brightest Venus, and the rightmost Jupiter near horizon. It is the same rendezvous not only in Japan but around the world. This is because even if the countries are different, the planets are seen from our same earth. In Southern hemisphere, lining up is seen in the northwestern sky.

 On the other hand, if seeing from another celestial body, the Earth may be lined up as well.
