Days after Venus and Jupiter came together for a rare conjunction, the brightest planet in our solar system will come close to the Moon as seen from the skies. The conjunction will be seen in several parts of the world as the celestial objects inch closer to each other.
The two objects will appear in the same line of sight, aligning together, as Venus slowly disappears behind the dark edge of the Moon. While Venus is one of the brightest objects in the evening sky, the Moon will trump its brightness by nearly 250 times thanks to its closeness to our planet.
It is happening a lot of countries around the world. Share this post for everyone to know it.

“Today Venus and Moon will be involved in an event known as a conjunction when they would “appear” to come very close to each other to an observer from the planet. In effect, they would be along the same line of sight (but still far away from each other),” Astronomical Society India Outreach and Education said in a tweet.
