The brightest star in the constellation _ the brightest star in each constellation

Who knows which constellation are the two brightest stars in the southwest at night?

Recently, Venus can catch up with Jupiter at night.

According to Xinhua News Agency, in the past two days, when the sun was setting and the sky was dark, two bright stars appeared in the southwest sky, dotted with the sunset glow on the horizon.

The two bright stars are Venus and Jupiter. At present, Venus is catching up with Jupiter, 65438+February 1, and the combination of the two will amaze the sky.

Zhao Zhi Heng, director of Tianjin Astronomical Society, said that Jupiter is in the upper left corner and Venus is in the lower right corner. Venus is particularly bright, which was called "Taibai" in ancient China and "Venus" in the west. It is bright for two reasons: First, it is close to the earth, which is the shortest in planets of the solar system. Second, because there are thick clouds floating on its surface, the albedo is high.

Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system, with dense clouds and high albedo, which makes it bright because of its huge size. Astronomical experts say that both stars are currently in Sagittarius. Although it moves eastward around the sun at the same time, Venus moves fast and Jupiter moves slowly, forming a situation in which Venus chases Jupiter. If you watch it at dusk every day, you will find that Venus and Jupiter are getting closer every day. By the evening of 65438+February 1, Venus will catch up with Jupiter, and the difference between them is only 2 degrees. At this time, a touch of crescent moon in the western sky came to join in the fun, forming a beautiful sky with two stars arching the moon.
