The Array of Planets at Dawn (June 16, 2022)
Planet Array (June 16, 2022).jpg
The array of four naked-eye planets at dawn on June 16, 2022, from Venus at left low in the twilight; to Mars and Jupiter at left of centre; and Saturn at right of centre, plus the waning gibbous Moon at right. Unusually, the planets appear from east to west across the sky in the same order as they are in distance out from the Sun.
This was from home at latitude 51° North, where the bright sky and low altitude of the planets made it tough to capture them more distinctly. However, they were all easily visible to the naked eye. While Mercury was just rising at this time to the left of Venus, it does not appear here as it was too low and lost in the horizon clouds.
The old house is the original homestead house built by the CPR (the Canadian Pacific rail and steamship company) for the immigrant farmers the company was bringing over from Europe to settle the tracts of land the CPR was granted as part of the deal for building the first trans-Canada national railway. It has seen better days!
This is a panorama of 12 segments, each 1-second, with the Canon RF 28-70mm lens at 34mm and f/2.8, with the Canon R5 at ISO 200. Stitched with Camera Raw. The original image is 30,200 pixels wide.
