when does jupiter align with mars?
492010
About every 27 months. There was one alignment in July, 2002, so just repeatedly add 27 months to find when others will occur.\n\nMy source is an astrology source, not an astronomy source, but astrologers really do know how to predict the positions of the planets. It is just the meaning of those positions that is nonsense.

At 09:38am EDT on May 15, 2006, the planets were not aligned, not even close--the planets were all over the sky.\n\nIn order along the ecliptic, starting with Aires (where the sun is) and going around through Pisces, etc. we have:\n\nMercury, Venus, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Jupiter, Saturn, Mars\n\nSaturn and Mars were about 17 degrees apart, but everything else was even farther apart.  Saturn and Jupiter were farthest apart, at 96 degrees.

I think you mean the Mercury transit - Mars never passes in front of the Sun from Earth's perspective.\n\nThat said, I don't know.  I bet www.spaceweather.com has info about where you can view it from.

All nine planets last aligned within 30-degrees (about as close as they can be aligned) in 561 BC. The next such alignment won't happen until 2854. All nine planets are slightly aligned every 500 years, and are grouped within 30 degrees every 1 to 3 alignments.

Here is a link that should be perfect! Scroll down a bit and there is a table with all the data you could possibly want!  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003J6%28moon%29--_statistics_of_Jupiter%27s_Moon

Harmonic convergence is when all the planets in the solar system are aligned with one another. In harmony so to speak.

No.  The reason is a bit complex for someone not already familiar with the conservation of rotational inertia.  But the short answer is that Jupiter is probably moving very, very slowly away from the Sun.  Our moon is moving very, very slowly away from the Earth.  Each body that has satellites has what is called a "Roche limit".  Jupiter and Earth would be outside of the Sun's Roche limit so they will move slowly farther away.  Our moon is outside Earth's Roche limit and will move slowly farther away.   Mars is pretty cool.  Mars has 2 very small moons.  One, Diemos, is farther away from Mars and outside its Roche limit.  It will also continue to move farther away ever so slowly.  But the other moon, Phobos, is a bit closer and inside of Mars' Roche limit.  It will ever so slowly move closer to Mars until it spirals down and eventually collides.  COOL, huh?

what? further than the earth in relation to the sun, would be mars. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and one we cant quite see yet.\nI'm not sure i understand your ?, but i hope this helps. sometime pluto comes closer than neptune, because of the orbits. click on this link, then scole down the page it brings you to.\nhttp://www.sciencemonster.com/planets.html

Every morning on Mars, the Sun rises in the East, and every evening, it sinks to the West.\nSomeone got cunfused with they're information. MARS ITSELF \nRISES AND SETS IN THE EARTH'S SKIES FROM THE WEST TO THE EAST.\nThe retrograde motion is what causes MARS to shift rise and set directions in OUR SKY.\n\nFor the Sun in the skies of Mars to rise and set  in opposite horizons would mean that Mars suddenly came to a stop and started spinning backwards on it's axis.\nMars could only change its direction of planetary rotation if a planet larger than itself crashed into it with an unimaginable amount of force.\nSo no, that information is incorrect and Mars still rotates the same way around our sun.

Unfortunately, just Saturn.  (See source.)  Venus, Mars, and Jupiter are too closely in line with the Sun this month.  \n\nHowever, Mercury should be visible in the pre-dawn, later this month.\n\nWe just missed the very rare transit of the sun by Mercury on Nov. 8th (I'm kicking myself ... I saw the Venus transit a few years ago through a telescope, and it was wonderful).\n\nAnd don't miss the Leonid meteor shower on Nov. 17.  Unfortunately for me, this year the Leonids peak in the middle of the day in the U.S., but I imagine our European friends would get a good view.

Conjunctions between Mars and Saturn occur once every two years.  The last one was on May 23, 2004. If the conjunction occurs when Mars is retrograde, a triple conjunction can take place within a period of a few weeks.\n\nAfter the upcoming M-S conjunction on June 17, the next three will occur on July 8, 2008; July 30, 2010; and August 14, 2012.

Jupiter is a wonderful planet to observe. Right now it is in the constellation of Libra.\n\nAssuming you are near Miami Jupiter rises about 2 in the morning. You can see it low and rising in the Southeast until about 6 when the sky starts to get bright.\n\nCheck the interactive chart below. Jupiter is an olive-drab circle with a curly 4 shape on it. Just set the time to London Time, so 6 in the morning Florida time would be 11:00:00 London Time.\n\nEnjoy!

No.\n\nThe orbits are inclined slightly and I do not believe there is a place where they would all be *exacly* in a line.\n\nBut they get close together in the sky. The visible planets are within a couple of degrees every twenty or thirty years. (Holding your fist out will block about 10 degrees.) Such an alignment in the sky can last for a few days.

If you write the number sequence 0,3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 96, and add 4 to each number (4, 7, 10, etc) then divide by ten, you get the distance of each planet from the Sun, measured in astronomical units (1 a.u.=93 million miles=150 million kilometers).  This works out as Mercury 0.4, Venus 0.7, Earth 1.0, Mars 1.6, --- 2.8, Jupiter 5.2, and Saturn 10.0  This works out pretty accurately, but there was nothing at 2.8. Herschel discovered Uranus in 1781 at 19.6, right where another planet was supposed to go according to the Titius rule.   When Ceres was discovered in 1801, it was at 2.72, filling the gap.  Neptune, however is not near 38.8, but at 30.  Astronomers now believe the "law" is either a coincidence, or the result of billions of years of gravitational interactions.
