本月所有天象皆成双:两颗外行星达到与太阳相对的全opposition状态,提供最佳观测条件,同时还有两场流星雨。十月虽无两轮满月,但天象依然丰富,不妨开始观星吧

土星冲日
太阳系中最华丽的带环行星(也是最令人头疼的父亲)正运行至冲日位置,此时是观测土星的最佳时机:其圆面看起来最大、亮度最高,而且标志性的光环也将清晰可见。
土星的光环是宇宙中几乎接近一维的结构。土星赤道直径约为75,000英里,而光环向两侧延伸约50,000英里,使得最大光环的直径达到约175,000英里,然而在某些位置,其厚度仅约30英尺。因此,当光环平面与地球轨道方向对齐时,它们几乎无法被观测到。

这种对齐大约每15年发生一次,最近一次发生在2025年3月。自那以后,土星的光环系统便隐而不见,如今又重新展现在我们眼前。土星本身肉眼可见,但若想欣赏其壮丽景象,还需观测其光环——使用小型望远镜即可分辨。该行星将在日落时从东方升起,整夜沿着双鱼座向东南方向移动,并于10月4日凌晨达到冲日位置。

十月九日:天龙座流星雨预测极大期
Draconids流星雨非常适合那些不愿熬夜观星的人,因为日落后不久就能看到更多流星,比凌晨时分更易观测。日落后请朝北天方向观看。Draconids流星雨的辐射点位于天龙座,因此得名龙族流星雨。

今年的流星雨或许真能名副其实。地球天空网站解释道,御夫座流星雨的母彗星于今年3月经过近日点——即其轨道上最接近太阳的位置,并在此后不久近距离飞掠地球,沿途抛洒出冰粒与岩屑。由于流星雨正是地球引力捕获此类太空碎屑时所形成的现象,因此今年我们或许真能见证巨龙苏醒的奇观。让我们拭目以待

猎户座流星雨预计峰值日期

十月二十六日:满月猎人之月
本月的满月被称为猎人月。这一名称源于这样的传统:在完成一年的庄稼收割后,所储存的谷物便成为整个冬季的主要口粮,此外还需依靠狩猎获取的野味作为补充。十月满月的其他名称也多与季节更替的主题相关。
10月26日:天王星位于满冲位置
继其表兄海王星于九月现身之后,天王星——这位天空之神——本月将罕见地探出它高耸的头颅,出现在夜空中。当天王星与太阳呈完全对冲位置时,恰逢当月满月之夜,只要天气晴好、视野开阔,并配备质量良好的双筒望远镜或天文望远镜,便可观测到这颗行星。借助这两种观测工具,即可辨识出天王星标志性的天蓝色外观;但若想分辨其表面细节,则至少需要口径达200毫米的望远镜。与土星类似,天王星将在东方天空升起,大致与金牛座一同在傍晚约八点升出地平线。
为了获得最佳的观星体验,建议远离光源污染区域。同时,应让眼睛适应黑暗环境,并在外出观星前查阅我们的观星指南。

相关知识(天文术语)
双流星雨是指在相近时间段内,地球同时穿越两颗不同彗星或小行星留下的尘埃带,从而观测到两场流星雨几乎同时出现的天文现象。例如,每年10月期间,天龙座流星雨和猎户座流星雨有时会重叠,形成双流星雨奇观,为天文爱好者带来难得的观测机会。
