Download Mercury venus and jupiter in March 2014

This week all Planets including Mercury Venus and Jupiter in March 2014
Many a times we see Bright Venus in day light as well. But hardly we have seen Jupiter in day Light. But since last week we been
observing Jupiter in a day light just before Sun Sets. Best time to locate those planets in day Light is when they are close to the
Moon, so we can focus in that location and spot the planet as a white dot in the sky.
This week is best to observe all the planets all together. Best place to see those planets is a location away from Town and Light, and
if it is a location on hill makes clear view of horizon. And whole of the week to keep track of all those planets and some of the
excitements to see some planets even in day time. (Divas na tara) .
A) Ravi (Sun – every day in day time), SOMa (Moon – every day /night), Mangal (Mars – Every Night after 10 PM), Budh (Mercury
– around before the Sun rise), Guru (Jupiter every Night and in day time over head - even before just sun sets -), Sukra (Venus –
Morning star- and even in day time , and Sani (Saturn- every night after midnight).
1) 22 March Jupitor.JPG - Jupiter is Just over the Head around the time just before the Sun sets. (Altitude: 80° 58' 47"- Azimuth:
86° 1' 23"- Transit: 19h 37m). We been observing Magnitude: -2.3 near full Phase: 0.991 as a small white dot in day time- Jupiter
since quite a long time. (But as a round paisa coin after the sun sets and during the night time.) Now you may try every day to spot at
around 6-20 PM till Sun Sets. Keep tract of the location and follow on for coming days to observe the planet Jupiter in day time just
before the Sun sets.
2) Morning 27 March Venus Moon.JPG , 27th Match Moon is closing to the VENUS. So Venus will be easy to Locate in broad day
light. (Magnitude: -4.4, Phase: 0.517, Declination: -13° 28' 41.2", Altitude: 32° 39' 18") Watch the bright Venus as a Morning
Planet easily seen by every one about 30 degree above eastern Horizon. But in the 27th Moon is Close by, so you can keep tract to
observe Venus even after the sun rises and in the day light as well.
3) Mercury Moon 29 March. JPG – Declination: -8° 8' 55.7", Altitude: 8° 23' 16" and Magnitude: -0.1 ONLY.
Though Planet mercury is visible early morning before the Sun rise but still lower on the Horizon (Juts within 10 degree above
horizon) After two days on 29th March Moon is Close to mercury so will be easy to Locate planet Mercury before sun rise.
