amazing astronomical events of 2022

 First meteor shower of 2022

The Quadrantids meteor shower peaks on January 3rd night and early January 4th morning. Depending on light, this New Year's shower is reported to generate brighter-than-average shooting stars, with 25 to 100 visible meteors per hour.

Venus , Mars and Saturn triangle 

In the next upcoming weeks, Venus, Mars, and Saturn will be gathered together in a tight triangular grouping. The planets will create a triangular shape with changing angles until April 1, when they will appear in a linear fashion. Saturn will join Mars in early April, and the two will appear directly beside one other between April 3 and 5. On April 4, the two planets will be nearest together, separated by only half a degree of arc, roughly equivalent to the diameter of the full moon.

Partial Solar eclipse

In 2022 (April 30), there will be two partial solar eclipses, which happen when the moon covers part of the sun disc in the sky. The first will be visible over parts of the Pacific and Southern Oceans, as well as parts of southern South America and Antarctica. The moon will cross over Earth and the sun on April 30, with the greatest eclipse taking place at 20:41 UTC.

Venus - Jupiter conjunction 

On (April 30 - May 1)This year, Jupiter and Venus will be so near that they might look to merge in the sky. On April 30, the massive planet will pass close to the brilliantly bright planet Venus well before sunrise. Because this celestial marvel will unfold so close to the sun, gaining a peek will be all about anticipation. The recommended time to begin your search is about 30 minutes before sunrise in your area.

Eta Aquarid meteor  shower 

On(May 5 and 6)......The Eta Aquarid meteor shower will be best seen in the early morning hours of May 5. During the shower, the meteors will look to emanate from the constellation Aquarius, which will be visible around the southeastern horizon. While the Eta Aquarids aren't the most common meteor shower, they are notable for being generated from material left behind by Halley's comet.

Flower Moon total lunar eclipse 

On May (15 or 16), depending on where you are, the first of two total lunar eclipses in 2022 will happen. North and South America, Europe, Africa, and parts of Asia will all be able to see this lunar eclipse. When the sun, Earth, and moon align, the moon passes through the shadow of the Earth, darkening and reddening its silvery disc in our skies. The Flower Moon is the full moon in May, called after the flowering flowers in the Northern Hemisphere at this time of year.

Five planets align 

On (June 18 to 27)....The unaided eye will be able to see Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and possibly Uranus. Between June 18 and June 27, the moon will travel close to each of these worlds. The crescent moon will pass by the ice planet Uranus on June 24 and 25. On June 26, astronomers will not want to miss the moon's close approach with super-bright Venus.

Partial Solar eclipse 

On (October 25), a partial solar eclipse will be visible across most of Europe and the Middle East. In certain parts of Eurasia, up to 86 percent of the sun will be obscured. Because the partial eclipse will happen during the twilight in the Americas, people in North and South America will be out of luck.

Total lunar eclipse 

On (November 7 and 8).....When a total lunar eclipse happens during the night time hours of November 7 and 8, 2022, people in North and South America, Australia, Asia, and portions of Europe will be able to see the moon blush red for the 2nd attempt. On November 8, the moon's edge will initiate to darken, as well as its complete disc will fall into the darkest central section of Earth's shadow.

what is secret of 369

  The number 3 serves as the only number that equals the sum  of  all preceding numbers (0 + 1 + 2 = 3). Also, when 3 is added to itself, the smallest perfect number ensues (6). And when 3 is squared, the result is the number that completes the single-digit numbers in the decimal system, better known as the number 9 why 369 is universe of key ? Nikola Tesla was obsessed with numbers, but especially 3, 6 and 9. He wanted the world to know the significance of the number 3 6 9, he claimed that these were extremely important numbers, but the question is why? What was that Nikola Tesla wanted the world to understand? How it became Nikola Tesla 3 6 9 theory? To understand that, we must first know about Mathematics. Why it is so different yet the same anywhere in the universe. Maths was and has been the most valued subject of all the time and the most powerful too. Two plus two will always be four everywhere in the universe. Possibly Nikola Tesla knew the power of the numbers 3 ...

Anthropic principle

  The   anthropic principle   is the principle that there is a restrictive lower bound on how statistically probable our observations of the universe are, given that we could only exist in the particular type of universe capable of developing and sustaining sentient life.   Proponents of the anthropic principle argue that it explains why this universe has the  age  and the  fundamental physical constants    necessary to accommodate conscious life, since if either had been different, we would not have been around to make observations. Anthropic reasoning is often used to deal with the notion that the universe seems to be  fine tuned . There are many different formulations of the anthropic principle. Philosopher Nick Bostrom  counts them at thirty, but the underlying principles can be divided into "weak" and "strong" forms, depending on the types of cosmological claims they entail. The  weak anthropic principle  ( ...

Kardashev scale

  The   Kardashev scale   is a method of measuring a  civilization ' s level of technological  advancement based on the amount of energy  it is able to use. The measure was proposed by   Soviet    astronomer   Nikolai    Kardashev    in 1964. The scale is hypothetical , and regards energy consumption on a cosmic  scale. Various extensions of the scale have since been proposed, including a wider range of power levels (types 0, IV through VI) and the use of metrics other than pure power. Categories  The Kardashev scale has three designated categories, these are: A  Type I civilization , also called a planetary civilization , can use and store all of the energy available on its planet.  A  Type II civilization , also called a stellar    civilization , can use and control energy at the scale of its planetary system. A  Type III ...
