Astrographer shares rare photo of earth & 7 planets in the sky
On a rare occasion, astrographer Josh Dury captured a stunning photo of the Earth and seven planets aligned in the sky. The photo has left astronomy enthusiasts and space enthusiasts in awe, with many calling it a “once-in-a-lifetime” moment.
The photo, which was shared on social media, shows the Earth at the center, surrounded by the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The planets are aligned in their respective orbits, creating a breathtaking celestial display.
According to Dury, the photo was taken using multiple exposures to capture the planets low to the west. “Multiple exposures were documented, to capture Mercury, Saturn and Neptune low to the west,” Dury said in a statement. “But do not let this image fool you – these planets are extremely difficult to observe, let alone photograph.”
The photo is a rare occurrence, as the alignment of the planets is a rare event that requires precise timing and positioning. The planets must be aligned in their orbits, and the Earth must be in the right position to capture the image.
The photo has been widely shared on social media, with many users expressing their amazement at the sight. “Awesome,” a social media user commented on the post. “I’ve never seen anything like this before. It’s incredible.”
The photo is a reminder of the beauty and complexity of the universe. The alignment of the planets is a rare event that requires precise timing and positioning, making it a once-in-a-lifetime moment for those who are lucky enough to witness it.
As the world continues to explore space and learn more about the universe, photos like Dury’s serve as a reminder of the beauty and complexity of the celestial bodies that surround us.
