Isizini yokugcina yasebusika, eqondana nokuqala konyaka omusha, ithatha cishe izinsuku ezingama-88 namahora angama-23 futhi iphetha ngoMashi 20, 2024, okuphawula ukuqala kwentwasahlobo. Ngokwemiphumela ye-observatory, i-solstice yasebusika iphawula usuku lapho amahora okukhanya emini amancane kakhulu. Impela ngenxa yalesi sizathu inkathi yasebusika inikeza ithuba elikahle lokujabula ezenzakalweni zasezulwini ze-northern hemisphere. Esinye sezimo ezigqama kakhulu yileso iNyanga neJupiter zizodansa ndawonye kulobu busika.
Kulesi sihloko sizokutshela ukuthi ungabona kanjani ukuthi iNyanga neJupiter zizodansa ndawonye kulobu busika kanye nezinye izinto ezimangalisayo zezinkanyezi ngo-2024.
Ukubuka umzimba wasezulwini
Njengoba kuqala inkathi, iSaturn neJupiter zizohlobisa isibhakabhaka ebusuku, zibonakale ngeso lenyama ngemva kokuhwalala. Kodwa-ke, njengoba uFebhuwari uqhubeka, iSaturn izonyamalala kancane kancane ekubukeni. UMashi uzoletha ukubukeka okufushane kweMercury, kusale i-Jupiter ne-Mercury kuphela njengamaplanethi amabili abonakala lapho kuhwalala ukuphetha isizini. Esikhundleni salokho, isibhakabhaka sokusa sizokwamukela ubusika ngokuba khona kweVenus yodwa.
Ekupheleni kukaDisemba, i-Mars izobukeka kahle emkhathizwe osempumalanga, kuyilapho iMercury izoyijoyina kafushane uJanuwari wonke. Njengoba isizini isondela ekupheleni, iVenus izofiphala ekukhanyeni kokusa, kushiye iMars kuwukuphela kweplanethi ebonakalayo. Izikhathi ezinhle kakhulu zokubuka lezi zimangaliso zasemkhathini kuzoba uJanuwari 11, 10 noMashi 10, okuhambisana nokuvela kwezinyanga zasebusika, inqobo nje uma isibhakabhaka sicwebile.
Izinkanyezi zikhanya ngokukhazimulayo esibhakabhakeni ebusuku
Ebusuku basebusika, isibhakabhaka sasebusuku sibonisa umbukiso omangalisayo wamaqoqo ezinkanyezi ahlotshiswe izinkanyezi ezikhanya kakhulu. Phakathi kwabo kugqama u-Orion, ngubani ifaka i-Betelgeuse ekhazimulayo neshintsha njalo. I-Taurus ihlobisa isehlakalo ngokubenyezela okubomvu kwe-Aldebaran, kuyilapho u-Canis Major ethula ngokuziqhenya uSirius, inkanyezi ekhanya kakhulu ebusuku.
Akufanele sikhohlwe ukuthi iGemini ibonisa i-duo yasezulwini kaCastor noPollux. Lezi zinkanyezi, uma zihlanganiswa nozakwabo abangomakhelwane, zakha i-asterism ekhangayo eyaziwa ngokuthi "i-winter hexagon," isici esihlukile sesibhakabhaka esimnyama sesizini. Ukuze uthole ukubuka izinkanyezi okuphelele, maka ikhalenda yakho ngobusuku benyanga entsha (Januwari 11, Februwari 9, kanye noMashi 10), njengoba bathembisa umbukiso okhangayo kakhulu walezi zimangaliso zasemkhathini.
Ama-Ursids namaQuadrantids
Ngesikhathi sasebusika, izihlambi ezimbili ze-meteor zivame ukwenzeka: i-Ursids kanye ne-Quadrantids. I-Ursid meteor shower ibonakala enyakatho nenkabazwe kusukela ngoDisemba 17 kuya kuDisemba 26, futhi kulindeleke ukuthi inyuke kakhulu ngoDisemba 22. Le meteor shower inezinga elimaphakathi lomsebenzi, ukukhiqiza ama-meteor angaba ngu-10 kuye kwangama-50 ngehora, ehamba ngesivinini esingaba amakhilomitha angama-33 ngomzuzwana. Kodwa-ke, ngenxa yendawo yawo phakathi kwamanye ama-meteor shower amabili anezinga eliphezulu lomsebenzi, okuyi-Geminids kanye ne-Quadrantids, ama-Ursids avame ukunganakwa. I-Geminids ifinyelela umvuthwandaba ngesonto elilodwa ngaphambi kwe-Ursids, kuyilapho i-Quadrantids ifika emasontweni amabili kamuva.
I-Ursid meteors Empeleni ziyizingcezu zenkanyezi enomsila 8P/Tuttle, eyatholwa ngo-1858. Njalo ngonyaka ngalesi sikhathi, uMhlaba udlula eringini egcwele lezi zingcezu ezaphuka kunkanyezi enomsila 8P/Tuttle phakathi nokudlula kwawo kwangaphambilini eduze nelanga. Uma ucezu noma i-meteoroid evela emkhathini ingena emkhathini womhlaba, iba nomhwamuko ngenxa yokungqubuzana okuhlangana nayo nomoya. Le nqubo idala isenzakalo esimangalisayo esivame ukubhekisela kuso njenge-meteor noma inkanyezi edubulayo.
Iphuzu elikhazimulayo noma imvelaphi yalemvula ye-meteor itholakala eduze kwenkanyezi i-Kocab kumlaza i-Ursa Minor. Njengemvula yokuqala ye-meteor yonyaka enyakatho nenkabazwe, Ishawa ye-quadrantid ibonakala kusukela ngoDisemba 28 kuya kuJanuwari 12, kanti umsebenzi ophakeme wenzeka cishe ngomhlaka-3 Januwari. Ngalesi sikhathi, uMhlaba udlula endaweni yomjikelezo wawo lapho imfucumfucu evela ku-asteroid 2003 EH ikhona. Njengoba lezi zinhlayiya zeqhwa, uthuli namadwala zihlangana nomkhathi woMhlaba, zikhiqiza ukukhanya okukhanyayo esibhakabhakeni okwaziwa ngokuthi ama-quadrantids. Le meteor shower idume ngokuvezwa kwayo okumangalisayo, nemvamisa emangazayo yama-meteors angama-80 kuye kwayi-100 ngehora.
INyanga neJupiter zizodansa ndawonye kulobu busika
Ngo-January 18, iplanethi enkulu kunazo zonke esimiso sethu sonozungezilanga, i-Jupiter, izoba yindawo ekhanga kakhulu esibhakabhakeni ebusuku, ihambisana nenyanga ecwebezelayo. Lo mbukiso wasezulwini uzokwenzeka izikhathi ezimbili ezengeziwe phakathi nenkathi yasebusika: ngoFebhuwari 14 kanye no-March 13, 2024. Futhi futhi, kodwa kulokhu entwasahlobo, ngo-Ephreli 10. Eyaziwa ngokuthi 'ukuqabula' kweNyanga neJupiter, Lo mdanso ohehayo empeleni uwukuhambisana lapho i-Jupiter neNyanga zibonakala zisondelene kakhulu futhi zimi emugqeni ocishe uqonde esibhakabhakeni.
Lesi senzakalo esimangalisayo senzeka ngenxa yesivinini esihlukene kanye nokuzungeza kwamaplanethi njengoba ezungeza iLanga.Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi, ngaphandle kwelanga, i-Jupiter inomehluko wokuba indikimba yasezulwini enkulu kunazo zonke esimisweni sethu sonozungezilanga. Ngesisindo esidlula isisindo esihlanganisiwe sawo wonke amanye amaplanethi cishe izikhathi ezimbili nengxenye (kanye nesisindo esiphindwe izikhathi ezingu-318 kunesoMhlaba), I-Jupiter ibusa njengamandla amakhulu phakathi kwamaplanethi angaphandle. Isici esivelele esibhakabhakeni sasebusuku, lesi sikhondlakhondla segesi simi njengesinye sezinkanyezi ezikhanya kakhulu, sidlulwa kuphela iNyanga, iVenus futhi, ngezikhathi ezithile, iMars.
Ukubonakala kwezinyanga ezigcwele kanye nokuba seduze kakhulu nelanga
Ngomhla zingama-27 kuZibandlela, 'inyanga ebandayo' yakhanyisa isibhakabhaka sasebusika njengenyanga egcwele yokuqala yesizini kanye neyokugcina onyakeni. Ukukhanya kwayo okukhulu kwenzeke cishe ngo-6:00 p.m. ngesikhathi se-peninsular yaseSpain. Ukwengeza, ngoJanuwari 3, 2024, Umhlaba kanye neLanga zafinyelela ukusondelana kwazo okukhulu konyaka, okwaziwa nge-perihelion. Ngalesi sikhathi, ibanga lethu ukusuka elangeni lizoba ngaphezudlwana nje kwezigidi eziyi-147 zamakhilomitha, cishe Amakhilomitha ayizigidi ezi-5 eduze kunendawo ekude kakhulu (i-aphelion) ngoJulayi 5, 2024.
Ngemva kwalezi zenzakalo zasezulwini, 'iNyanga Yempisi' izohlobisa ubusuku nesibhakabhaka njengenyanga yokuqala egcwele onyakeni ngoJanuwari 25, futhi inyanga yesithathu neyokugcina egcwele yasebusika izokhanya ngoFebhuwari 24. Igama elithi 'Inyanga Yempisi' lisuka ezizweni zase-United States ezazikholelwa ukuthi ukubona le nyanga kwabangela izimpisi ukuba zikhale, njengoba lezi zidalwa zihlanganyela ngokujulile nokuba khona kwenyanga. Isizathu esenza izimpisi zihayize kakhulu phakathi nalesi sikhathi singabangwa indlela yazo yokuxhumana. Nokho, incazelo enengqondo kakhudlwana isikisela ukuthi lezi zilwane zikhala ngenxa yokuphelelwa ithemba okubangelwa ukusweleka kokudla emakhazeni. Lesi simo ngokuvamile saziwa ngokuthi "inyanga yeqhwa."
Ngithemba ukuthi ngalolu lwazi ungafunda kabanzi mayelana nokuthi inyanga ne-Jupiter zizodansa nini ndawonye kulobu busika.
