Условие
On December 21, 2020, Jupiter was at . Which constellation was Saturn in?
(a) Capricornus
(b) Aquarius
(c) Pisces
(d) Aquila
Отговори
- A
Решение
December 21, 2020 is the date of the Great Conjunction; thus Saturn and Jupiter are at the same coordinates in the same constellation. Since Saturn and Jupiter are solar system objections, they must be in a Zodiac constellation on the ecliptic. The vernal equinox is in Pisces, near its Western border. Approximating the zodiac constellations as chunks of 2 hours of Right Ascension, we can use the order of the Zodiac constellations to find that Capricornus spans approximately RA . Saturn and Jupiter were very close to the Capricornus-Sagittarius border, but Sagittarius was not included as an answer choice.
Answer: A
