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!
