Can you figure out the answers to these questions about Mercury's greatest elongation?

@IndiaDST @fiddlingstars @asipoec @CosmosMysuru @kodaiastronomy

Mercury will reach its greatest eastern elongation, or maximum angular distance from the Sun in the sky, on 12th October. The next few days are ideal to try to spot it in the evening western sky just after sunset.

During opposition, Saturn will be opposite the Sun in the sky.

Can you answer these questions based on this fact?

@IndiaDST @fiddlingstars @asipoec @kodaiastronomy @CosmosMysuru #SkySCOPE

#SkySCOPE Saturn is in opposition on 4th October 2026.

What does this mean? (1/2)

@IndiaDST @fiddlingstars @asipoec @kodaiastronomy @CosmosMysuru

We wish #AstroSat a happy 11th birthday since its launch on 28 Sept 2015 by #ISRO. AstroSat is India's 1st dedicated space observatory, capable of simultaneous multiwavelength observations!

@IIABengaluru @TIFRScience @IUCAAScipop @isro

#AstroSat can observe simultaneously from visible, to near and far UV, to soft and hard Xrays!
