Hyderabad: For amateur stargazers and astronomy enthusiasts, this is an excellent opportunity to spot four planets of our solar system in the January skies of Hyderabad! If the weather cooperates and there is adequate darkness, then you may be able to spot Venus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars on the chilly Western and Eastern skies of Hyderabad in the coming few days.

“There are some exaggerated reports about the visibility of 6 to 7 planets. However, this is an excellent chance to catch four planets in a span of minutes in the evening sky. But, do not rush to buy telescopes,” advises founder president of Planetary Society of India (PSI), N Sree Raghunandan Kumar.

He shares simple ways to check-out Venus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars without the help of any telescopes.

“On the West direction before 8.30 pm, you can see one ‘bright non-twinkling star like object’ and its Venus. As it will set around 8.30pm, we can track and spot till then. Just besides Venus, if one can observe keenly, they can spot a dim yellowish white star like non-twinkling celestial object, which is planet Saturn,” he said.

On the Eastern skies of Hyderabad, if one looks above the sky, it will not be difficult to spot a non-twinkling star-like object, which is Jupiter. Further, in the East direction and close to the horizon, one can spot an orange-red star like celestial object, which is Mars, Raghunandan Kumar pointed out.

At some point of the night, Jupiter can be spotted exactly above the head around 10 pm and Mars will be above ahead at 12 Midnight, which can be located in the west before sunrise, the founder of PSI, added.
