Catch Venus, Mars and the moon close together in the night sky
CNN
Venus, Mars and the moon will appear close in the night sky on the evenings of Monday, July 12, and Tuesday, July 13. Venus and Mars will appear only half a degree apart in a planetary conjunction.
Venus and Mars have been moving toward one another all weekend, culminating in their closest meeting during the early hours of Tuesday, July 13, around 3 a.m. ET. As seen from Earth, the planets will appear only half a degree -- or only a finger's width -- apart, according to NASA. This meeting of planets in the sky is referred to as a planetary conjunction. This is just an illusion, of course, because the two planets are extremely far apart in reality.More Related News
