five rare astronomical events before 2100 asteroid epice set to make a Clos pass by Earth on April 13th 2029 coming within a mere 19,000 794 mil from our planet surface scientists have been closely monitoring apus since its Discovery in 2004 and the good news is it's not on a collision course with Earth this time apus is about 340 m in diameter making it a significant Space Rock however the predicted trajectory indicates a safe passage providing scientists with a fantastic opportunity to study this celestial object up close apus has been on astronomer Radars due to its
size and initial orbit calculations that raised concerns about a potential impact fortunately subsequent observations have ruled out any immediate danger asteroid apus won't be visible to the naked eye skywatchers with telescopes may be able to spotted especially in certain regions it's a rare opportunity for enthusiasts to witness a Celestial event like this on September 8th 2040 Mercury Mars Venus Saturn and Jupiter will appear to be aligned in the sky this event is called a planetary alignment it is not possible for all the planets to ever be fully aligned but sometimes cosmologists and scientists will speak
of planetary alignment and when they do this they don't speak about 100 alignment but rather refer to a state where all the planets of our solar system appear to be in the same rough position in our night sky the same 180° wide Paine of Sky the last time the brightest planets in the night sky positioned themselves in such a manner as to appear that they are in a straight line was in April 2000 when Venus Mars Saturn Mercury and Jupiter appeared above the Western Horizon in the shape of a necklace the next time this will
happen is on September 8th 2040 it is important to note that while planetary alignment is an interesting astronomical event it does not have any significant effect on our planet brightest Super Moon of the century will occur on December 6th 2052 the moon will be 17,000 miles closer to Earth it is important to note that while super moons are an interesting astronomical event they do not have any significant effect on our planet Comet 15 toim the brightest Comet will pass close to Earth in October 2060 the comet will pass about 5 million kilm from Earth this
this will be one of the closest Comet approaches to Earth the comet was discovered by William Henry Finley at the Royal Observatory Cape of Good Hope South Africa on September 26 1886 it is important to note that while comets are an interesting astronomical event they do not have any significant effect on our planet November 10th 20184 Earth and the moon will pass between the Sun and Mars creating a Transit of Earth from Mars's perspective during this event Earth and the moon will appear as a small black disc moving across the face of the sun one
this phenomenon is called a Transit of Earth it is a rare event that occurs when the planet Earth passes directly between the Sun and another planet obscuring a small part of the sun's disc for an observer on that planet it is important to note that while transits of Earth are an interesting astronomical event they do not have any significant effect on our planet for space updates subscribe to secrets of space
