The Moon, Venus And Mars Will Have A Amazing Meeting This Week

JAKARTA - This week the night sky will be presented with the phenomenon of the crescent moon parallel to the Planet Venus and Mars, which can be watched after sunset.

Called the Sun's turning point event, this view can be seen on June 19, until June 21 as the peak at 22:00 BST.

Some stars will also be visible at dusk, such as Pollux and Castor at Gemini, but Venus is very clear facing the west.

Then, in the opposite direction which is higher and to the southeast, Regulus in Leo will also showcase its beauty.

Next to it, there is a thin sickle moon with a appearance of only 12 percent of its surface illuminated by the Sun, followed by the bright light of Venus.

Once the sky is slightly darker, the last member of this cosmic trio, Mars will showcase its redness as a hallmark of the planet.

While in the southern hemisphere, the situation is reversed. The sun will be at its lowest and shortest day. That is, the Moon and planets will be easily visible in the pitch black sky, but low in the west.

Launching Space and The Guardian, Monday, June 19, this phenomenon is claimed to last for three hours. Astronomers may need binoculars to see it at bright dusk, even after Venus becomes clear.

For information, throughout June, many celestial phenomena will emerge, such as Mars and Venus, which will get closer every night in the west sky after sunset.

The pair will appear slightly lower in the sky every night. Likewise with Saturn leading Jupiter to a new day.

The Bercincin planet will be published around midnight, with Jupiter following behind hours later.
