Ancient astronomical anomalies

When a comet hits the moon, its light covers the moon's sky. In ancient times, comets were also called "stars", "stars" or "long stars", and most people became "disaster stars" and "broom stars", so people blamed the disasters such as war and plague on the appearance of comets. "Spring and Autumn Annals" records that "a satellite entered the Beidou" in 6 13 BC, which is recognized as the exact record of the first Halley's comet in the world, more than 630 years earlier than in Europe.

Two: Bai Hongguan Day

The white rainbow goes through the sun, which means the white rainbow goes through the sun. The rainbow here is not a rainbow, but a dizzy sky. The holes, columns, arcs and points around the sun and the moon are produced by the refraction or (and) reflection of the light from the sun and the moon through the ice crystals in the cloud. The appearance of halo is usually a sign of weather change. There are weather proverbs, such as "the sun is dizzy in the middle of the night, the rain is dizzy at noon, and the wind is dizzy at noon". The ancients thought that Bai Hong was like a knife and the sun was king, indicating that the king was threatened. For example, "Historical Records Lu Zhonglian's Biography of Zou Yang": "Jing Ke's intention is in the past, Bai Hongguan, and Jun is afraid of it." So Bai Hongguan, as an idiom, means that there will be major changes.

Three: Mars stays in Antares.

Starry refers to Mars in the solar system, so it is called because it is like a fire, and its whereabouts are uncertain. The "heart" of "keeping the heart" refers to the "heart" in the 28 stars. The heart consists of three stars. The ancients thought that these three stars represented the emperor and the prince, and they were the most important members of the royal family. "Keeping the heart" means that Mars seems to be moving slowly during the transition from anterograde to retrograde. This slow-moving process is called staying, and staying in the heart area is "guarding the heart." Mars indicates war and war in both eastern and western cultures, so it is unlucky for the ancients to stay in Antares. When the emperor loses his position, the emperor dies and the prime minister steps down. The most famous record of "Mars stayed in Antares" is that "Mars stayed in Antares for 36 years" recorded in Qin Shihuang's Biography. Coincidentally, this did happen to Qin Shihuang. This has also become the mystery of Mars staying in Antares.

Four: the transit of mercury

The principle of mercury transit is similar to that of solar eclipse. Because mercury and the earth's orbit around the sun are not on the same plane, the inclination angle is 7 degrees. There are only two intersections between them: the ascending intersection and the descending node. Therefore, only when Mercury is in orbit near the intersection of these two points, and the sun, water and land are in a straight line, can a small black dot on the sun be observed on the earth, which is called the transit of Mercury.

Five: See you in the autumn star during the day.

Purple tongzhi sword BC 185

"See you at the stars in autumn."

In the autumn of 185 BC, stars appeared during the day.

It's incredible that the stars appear in the daytime. The only possibility is a total solar eclipse. However, the total solar eclipse is recorded separately in the book, indicating that this situation is not a total solar eclipse. What the hell happened here?

Six: Two-month commitment

Purple Tongzhi Sword was published in 32 BC.

In August, there are still two months. See you in the East in the morning. "

In August of 32 BC, two moons appeared in the eastern sky in the morning.

Seeing two moons at the same time at night is probably unheard of. How to explain this astronomical phenomenon?

Seven: Go out day and night.

Zi tong zhi Jian ad 3 18

"November, Mao Yi, out day and night, three feet high."

3 18, 1 1 month, the sun appears at night, only three feet high!

Have you ever seen the sun appear at night? And the height is only three feet. What kind of scene is this?
