Parade of planets and the approaching asteroid: Myths and Facts – Official web-site of radio Vesti FM

In 2015, earthlings waiting approximation of the asteroid and a small parade of planets, as well as several solar and lunar eclipses. With such a forecast made by scholars Yekaterinburg astrophysics observatory. Under assumptions of researchers, January 26 asteroid will approach Earth at a very close distance. And in the fall, Jupiter, Mars, Venus and Mercury will line up on one side of the sun. On the Internet, immediately spread information that thanks to the parade on January 4 will be “hang” in the jump for a few seconds. Scientists refute it. Their arguments heard correspondent “Vesti FM” Marina Kostyukevich .

Waiting astronomical anomalies caused almost the same abnormal excitement among those who want the thrill. Reported that in January we expect vivid actions of heavenly bodies from someone called fear, someone – interest, and someone – a desire to frolic.

Total expected 4 events: approaching asteroid to the Earth around the Sun alignment of Jupiter, Mars, Mercury and Venus, two possible solar and lunar eclipses and the displacement of the magnetic pole, because of what the aurora borealis can be observed in the Urals.

According to the Internet immediately rumors about the incredible implications of this. One of the main fears – a drop of nearly kilometers in diameter asteroid to Earth – debunked broadcast our radio station leading researcher of the Institute of Space Research Nathan Eysmant .

“do not be afraid of him should, because the probability of its stoknoveniya Earth is estimated almost as zero. And in terms of entertainment, it’s not such a big asteroid that it can be seen with the naked eye. ”

Do not get seen by the naked eye and another phenomenon – the parade of planets. More precisely, one can see, but only with Jupiter, since the Earth is not involved in this, says Nathan Eysmant . Yes, actually, and watch out there is nothing, says the scientist, although the picture is beautiful. And so afraid of it and does not stand.

“If we project the position of the planets on the plane, they are built almost on the same straight line, no more than that. To say that this leads to some consequences or end of the world … It is not even an exaggeration. It’s just such an interesting event. ”

However, commonplace in the New Year’s Eve, many refuse to believe and are willing to ascribe to themselves chudodeystva such things. Many felt that if the effects of the parade can not be seen, it can be felt. But in Britain (where else!) Found a scientist named Patrick Moore, who promised that, thanks to the parade of planets can be “hang” in the air at the historical 3 seconds. The argument is this: lined up in a straight line, the planet’s huge mass of the gravitational field is drawn, and it will weaken. This means that a person ceases to be pulled to the ground, and he could at any time simply freeze jump.

The news picked up by journalists, and now the promise of action sounded from TV screens, “January 4 all the inhabitants of the earth will fall a chance to experience a phenomenon that happens once in a thousand years. The man jumped, landing is not a quarter of a second “.

The ardor cooled the Russian scientists. Parade of planets is not able to significantly alter gravity, says the deputy editor of the journal “Science and Life” Dmitry Zykov .

“During the parade of planets gravitational forces are beginning to take shape on the one hand, on the other – deducted ;, there is some change, but it is so unobtrusive that it and catch something very difficult. Not to mention that hang on for 3 seconds, hang in the jump, of course, possible, but it does not need a parade of planets. It is enough to fall in love, and you can hang in the air indefinitely. But as physical hang-ups, nonsense, of course, is complete. Nothing this will not happen “.

However, as it turned out, the call to hang on January 4 at 9:00 and 47 minutes British astronomer Patrick Moore issued a long time ago, back in the 70s, and the first of April. Why is this a joke has become urgent now – is unknown. Whether on television is repeated for fun, so we do not get bored during the holidays, or just someone who spent all, issuing a joke for the latest news.

However, try to hang in the jump January 4th nothing prevents us. And the reason for this may not be a parade of planets, and other, more mundane, but no menye pleasant moments: the joy of the gift, kiss a loved one or just a good mood.
