About Moon Venus Conjunction
This cosmic scenario is, however, very rare. The brightest planet in the solar system came close to Earth’s only satellite, the Moon, on Friday. Because of the new location, the planet is perceived anew by the people. But it disappears again within a few minutes.
In the last week of last February, Venus and Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, were seen in a row with the moon. Venus came under the Moon. It reminded me of the ‘diamond ring’ of the total lunar eclipse. Apart from being under the moon yesterday, the planet also went behind the moon for a while.
The curiosity of experts about Venus is already high. Although Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system. which is close to Earth in size. As a result, it is also called the twin planet of the earth. Not only that. A group of scientists claim that even though Venus is the hottest planet, life can exist there. Because the clouds in the planet’s atmosphere contain ammonium salts. Which is one of the main elements of life creation.
The moon is now in its new moon phase and only 9 percent of the moon’s surface will be visible. This phase lasts until half of the visible surface of the moon is illuminated. According to the time and date, the crescent begins to take shape as the moon becomes visible again after the new moon conjunction when the sun and earth are on opposite sides of the moon.
Scientists say this will happen not only to Venus, but to everything else in the evening sky. By the end of March, as far as the sky can be seen from Earth, five planetary alignment changes will be detected there. Five planets are going to align between March 25 and March 30. Because the earth has entered the equinox. Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, Uranus and Mars will line up in the sky to create a rare sight.
What do scientists say about this rare moon venus conjunction?
This view of the night sky was so mesmerizing and rare that it instantly went viral on social media. Many have also responded to this on their handle. More and more people are thrilled to see that picture.
Experts say that Venus has passed over the moon at that time. Its position was on the north side of the moon. However, this position changed slightly on Saturday. The Moon is slightly wider, or 12 percent, higher and slightly to the left of Venus. As a result, the opportunity to see the Moon-Venus so close at nightfall was no longer available.
