Planetary Conjunction

The alignment of the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter is currently visible in the sky. This rare phenomenon that began on January 20, 2016 will continue to be seen with the naked eye until February 20, 2016. This planetary concurrence could be best viewed at dawn from the last week of January to the first week of February, 2016.

For over a decade since its last appearance, this planetary alignment that last happened in December 15, 2004 - January 15, 2005,  is now back in the limelight.

If you miss to view this now there is another opportunity to see this again in the evening sky of August 13 - 19, 2016. 

Have a nice day everyone!

  • @Teacher Bob, I am so sorry if I couldn't turn it off. I just received a notice warning me of Malware as soon as I tried to edit my settings. But, you don't have to worry teacher Bob because I am sure there'll be no problem with whatever comment you post. It is indeed very nice to hear something from you.

    My regards to your wife.

    Good day!

  • Lynne. You asked me to see your blog but you have the comments moderated. That means I can't see what I wrote to make any corrections. Please change your settings and turn off moderation. Thanks.
  • Unfortunately, I won't be able to view this except from a mobile phone or tablet, Lynne. I now live in a part of Japan with many buildings and lights. The sky is hard to see in cities. Good blog, I hope my computer is fixed soon so I can see your picture better. :)
  • Hi ModaWay!

    Good day!

    I guess, it's just the best time to start viewing another heavenly show after a decade. I guess, this brings a promising future to all.

    It's nice of you to stop by. Thank you, sir.
