Planet parade: On Friday, February 28 As many as seven planets of the solar system will be visible in the night sky. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune will perform in the so -called “planets parade”. This is a rare phenomenon, and once again seven planets can be observed only in 2040.
What and how can you watch? Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptun have been visible in the sky since January. Now at the end of February he joins them Mercury, which will be visible to the naked eye, like Venus, Jupiter and Mars. It will be a bit harder to see Saturn, who will be low on the horizon. To spot Uranus and Neptune, you have to support yourself with a telescope Or at least binoculars.
Narrow time window: All The planets will be visible at the same time only for a short moment. When the sun begins to set, Saturn and Mercury join him, which makes them not easy to see. You will have barely a few minutes for this.
This is not a great conjunction: Although some Polish media write about the “great conjunction of the planets”, we are actually dealing only with the conjunction of the moon and Saturn. A great conjunction, i.e. rapprochement with two bright objects (NP.P.P.PLEET, moons), this time there is no place. What can actually be observed is the layout of the planets along the ecliptic, i.e. the path designated by the sun movement.
