In a conversation with Mehr, Kazem Kokeram explained about the news of cyberspace and Instagram pages that 6 Bahman 1403 is the day of the alignment of 6 planets and the beginning of the new world, and said: In recent days, news about the alignment of 6 planets in the night sky on the 6th Bahman has been released, but the fact is that this phenomenon does not happen only on this date, and in fact, we can also witness this phenomenon during the nights leading up to Bahman.
The spokesman of the amateur committee of the Iranian Astronomical Society while pointing out that out of the 6 planets mentioned, only four planets can be seen with the naked eye, adding: Saturn and Venus in the western horizon after sunset and Jupiter and Mars in the eastern horizon. will be visible. The other two planets, Uranus and Neptune, can only be seen with a telescope, so it cannot be said that all 6 planets are visible. In addition, all 6 planets are not completely in the same line and behind each other, because the orbits of the planets in the solar system have a slight deviation from each other.
He also continued: until the end of February, these planets will gradually be visible in the evening sky, but at this time, Saturn will no longer be visible, and at the same time, Mercury will gradually enter the evening sky.
Kukram further pointed to ancient beliefs and said: It is not a scientific claim that it is said that the planets send a certain energy towards the earth. Because the concept of energy is a concept that is related to the science of physics and has nothing to do with ancient pseudo-scientific beliefs about the effect of the position of the planets on the future and destiny of humans. Let’s not forget that these beliefs have their roots in several thousand years ago, and at that time, the concept of energy, as we know it today in physics, was not known. Therefore, it is not logical to relate modern scientific concepts to ancient beliefs.
The public relations officer of the Iranian Astronomical Society’s amateur committee also emphasized that the planets Uranus and Neptune, which are mentioned in astrology, were discovered in the last few hundred years, and the properties attributed to them by today’s astrologers are not something that existed in ancient astrology.
While emphasizing that the influence of the presence of planets in different constellations on our destiny is due to pseudo-scientific beliefs and has no scientific roots, Kokram noted: If the audience reads this news and thinks that a complex scientific issue has been raised and they do not understand it. They should be aware that there is no scientific issue involved. These contents are mostly related to the mysterious and ambiguous atmosphere in the hope of attracting followers and injecting unfounded optimism about the future, and it has nothing to do with the truth of celestial bodies, at least as astronomers study them.
According to Mehr, earlier, in a conversation with Mehr, Kokeram had explained about this astronomical phenomenon, titled “Alignment of the 6 planets of the solar system in the sky at the end of the day.” He said that if we stand facing the west these nights, a very bright object will appear in the sky, which many people may mistake for an airplane or unknown flying objects due to its brightness, but it is nothing but the planet Venus. Venus is the brightest object in the sky after the sun and the moon. If you observe the same planet with a telescope, you will see that it looks like a crescent moon on the seventh night of the month.
Kukram continued: In the last nights of January near the planet Venus, another relatively bright object can be seen with the naked eye, which is actually the planet Saturn; It is the famous ringed planet whose rings can be seen with a telescope.
He stated that now in the night sky near the planets Venus and Saturn, the planet Neptune can also be seen. The planet Neptune looks like a very small disk with a telescope, and more details of this planet cannot be seen with an amateur telescope.
The spokesperson of the amateur committee of the Iranian Astronomical Society continued: If we stand facing the east these nights, two other planets can be seen with the naked eye, one of which is the planet Mars, which is closer to the horizon and is in opposition during these nights. It means that the Earth is located between the Sun and Mars, and therefore Mars is closer to the Earth than at other times; Therefore, we see Mars brighter than other nights of the year.
Kukram added: A little higher than Mars, you will see the planet Jupiter, which is also very bright and bright these nights. A little higher than Jupiter, on the border between the two constellations of Aries and Taurus, the planet Uranus is also traveling its orbit around the sun among the stars. Of course, to see Uranus, we need an optical instrument such as a telescope or binoculars and with the naked eye. Almost invisible.
He further clarified: Keep in mind that out of the total number of planets in the solar system, which is 8 planets, we can see 7 planets regardless of the earth where we live. Now, among these 7 planets, 6 planets can be seen in the sky at the same time after sunset, 3 planets can be seen in the direction of west and 3 planets in the direction of east.
The spokesman of the amateur committee of the Iranian Astronomical Society continued: These nights, the planet Mars is in the best observation mode for the next two years, and therefore it can be seen brighter and brighter with more details with a telescope. The seventh planet is Mercury, which can be seen at dawn and shortly before sunrise; This planet is the closest planet to the sun.
