On Wednesday evening, stargazers will be treated to a rare celestial sight when Venus and Jupiter, the two brightest planets visible from Earth, come together in a conjunction. The two planets, along with the Moon, have been dancing in a synchronized pattern in the skies, forming a triangle-like shape.
According to reports, Venus and Jupiter have been approaching each other for weeks, and they will be closest on March 1, just 0.52 degrees apart.
While both planets are separated by 29 degrees, they will appear to be close together in the sky. Venus, which will be blazing at magnitude -4.0, will be the brighter of the two planets, while Jupiter will shine at magnitude -2.1.
This conjunction is expected to be a breath-taking sight, and it will be visible to the naked eye. Those who want to capture the event can use binoculars or telescopes for a closer look.
The conjunction will take place in the western sky just after sunset, and it will be visible to viewers around the world. Those in the Northern Hemisphere will have a better view, as the planets will be higher in the sky.
The event has generated excitement among astronomers and stargazers alike, as it is a rare opportunity to witness two of the brightest planets in the solar system coming together in a conjunction.
