English: View of the southwestern sky for an observer located on October 9, 1604 at 19:00 CET at a location situated at latitude 50°N and longitude 9°E. On this day, the supernova 1604 was observed for the first time. In the immediate vicinity there were the planets Mars and Jupiter (marked by corresponding symbols), which were in conjunction with each other on the same day. A little westwards Saturn (also marked by a corresponding symbol) could be seen, which Mars passed on 9/27/1604 and Jupiter on 12/19/1603. Mars was 0.8 mag on October 9, 1604, Jupiter -2.0 mag and Saturn 0.6 mag. Supernova 1604 may have been as bright as Jupiter on that day.
The star map also includes the ecliptic and a line for the elevation of 10° above the horizon.
This image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.
It is recommended to name the SVG file “View of Supernova1604.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
