LUNAR APOGEES & PERIGEES

Lunar apogees & perigees show just how irregular the lunar orbit is.  From 1500 to 2500 CE, the Moon's apogee averages about 405,400 km, varying from about 404,050 km to its extreme maximum of about 406,720 km. The lunar perigee is much more variable however, averaging close to 363,400 km while varying from about 370,350 km to its extreme minimum of about 356,370 km!

Extreme lunar apogees and perigees are caused mostly by the Sun's gravitational pull on the Moon, and they tend to happen in the winter months of the Northern Hemisphere.  This is when Earth is near perihelion, i.e. closest (yes, closest!) to the Sun.  Extreme apogees tend to happen when the Moon is New, since the Sun pulls it "away from" Earth.  Extreme perigees in contrast tend to occur when the Moon is Full, as the Sun pulls it "toward" Earth.  Forecasting these extremes can be important due to the Moon's influence on Earth's tides.


UTC: CELESTIA'S DISPLAY OF TIME

CELESTIA's clock displays Coordinated Universal Time, UTC.  Click here for a brief explanation.


EARTH AT PERIHELION

When is Earth at perihelion, the point in its orbit closest to the Sun?  Contrary to popular belief, this happens in the Northern Hemisphere's winter NOT summer!  The winter season is not caused by Earth being farthest from the Sun, but rather by Earth's changing tilt in its orbit relative to the Sun!

In contemporary times Earth generally passes through perihelion between January 1 and January 6.  In 2014, it occured on January 4 at 12 hour UT (Universal Time).

NOTES:

  1. Times above are expressed in Universal Time, which is essentially equal to Greenwich Time.
  2. Times of lunar occultations are given at conjunction.
  3.   New Moons essentially rise and set with the Sun and reflect no sunlight toward Earth, so they allow Deep Sky Observing all night.
  4.   1st Qtr Moons generally rise near "local noon" and set near "local midnight", allowing Deep Sky Observing only during the last half of the night.
  5.   Full Moons generally rise near sunset and set near sunrise, allowing no Deep Sky Observing all night.
  6.   Last Qtr Moons generally rise near "local midnight" and set near "local noon", allowing Deep Sky Observing only during the first half of the night.
  7.   Estimated peak meteor rates are not ZHR's; they are what a casual observer might realistically expect to observe with clear, dark skies.
  8. Times and angles of Greatest East and West Elongations for Mercury and Venus are given for maximum angular separations from the Sun, not for maximum differences in Ecliptic Longitude.

EARTH'S CURRENT TILT
RELATIVE TO THE SUN

Though its two principal views display Earth rotating at different speeds, this interesting Flash animation lets you  Easily Find Earth's Current Tilt Relative to the Sun.  Moreover you can change just a few Settings to view how Earth's varying tilt throughout the year causes the seasons and affects the lengths of our days and nights.  Changing the month is most instructive.  (Note: in this animation the Vernal Equinox is essentially toward the bottom of your screen in its Northern Hemisphere view and outward toward you in its Oblique view.)

W A R N I N G !   It is never safe to look directly at the real Sun with the naked eye!  Moreover, looking at it through a telescope or binoculars without adequate safeguards—even for an instant—can cause permanent blindness!  NEVER DO IT!  To learn how to safely "observe" the real Sun, consult the professionals at your local planetarium or observatory.


GET THE LATEST AWESOME SATELLITE
VIEWS OF THE SUN WITH "HELIOVIEWER"

HelioViewer  might just be the best free solar astronomy tool on the web, giving you access to countless actual photos of the Sun from multiple satellites!  "Time-step" through photos, and save and even make movies of what you find!  This free web-tool is not to be missed.

Here's an example  movie that SkyMarvels made using HelioViewer.  It shows some incredible solar prominence activity on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day!

And to help get you started, here's the direct link to the HelioViewer User Guide.

SOLAR SYSTEM VISUALIZATIONS

Note that the next three visualizations are oriented differently from each other.  So the Vernal Equinox is in a different direction in each.

The Solar System in 3-D  This third-party visualization "opens" with the Vernal Equinox "obliquely upward", i.e. essentially in the 12 o'clock midnight direction.

CLIMATIC VS. ASTRONOMICAL SEASONS

Most school children know that the climatic seasons of the two hemispheres are the reverse of each other's.  For example, when it is Summer in the Northern Hemisphere, climatically-speaking it is Winter in the Southern Hemisphere.

Nonetheless the "astronomical" seasons, as well as their respective equinoxes and solstices, have always traditionally been named for the "climatic" seasons of the Northern Hemisphere—no doubt because roughly 90% of the human population lives north of Earth's equator!  So the Summer Solstice, for instance, is the solstice in June at the beginning of the Northern Hemisphere's summer, etc.

Unfortunately, this traditional naming convention does create a potential ambiguity.  For example, for Southern Hemisphere astronomers the "traditional" Summer Solstice occurs at the start of their climatic Winter!

This is why we often now see the less traditional (though slightly less recognizable) terms: March Equinox, June Solstice, September Equinox and December Solstice.  Because these terms are more precise, they are increasingly becoming accepted as the best ways to refer to the equinoxes and solstices.


HOW LONG IS EACH SEASON?

Since their beginnings and ends are explicitly defined by the Sun's arrival at the equinoxes and the solstices in our sky, Earth's astronomical seasons have precise durations.  Moreover, though the equinoxes and solstices are equally spaced at 90-degree intervals around the Celestial Sphere, the astronomical seasons are not of equal length!  This is because Earth's changing velocity in its elliptical orbit makes the Sun appear to arrive a little early at parts of the Celestial Sphere, and a little late at others.  The lengths of the astronomical seasons are very close to the following:

Spring: 92 3/4 days
Summer: 93 2/3 days
Autumn: 89 5/6 days
Winter: 89 days.


HALF OF EARTH IN SUNLIGHT & DARKNESS

During your voyages in CELESTIA, would you like to be able to position yourself directly over the center of the half of Earth in sunlight or the half in darkness at any time this month?  On our  Tips  page, you'll find that it's quite easy to do so!  If you're any kind of sky watcher at all, you probably know just how helpful this can be!
