On the evening of September 1st, but also on August 31th, we can see an unusual trio: Venus, Mars and Spica will be close together in an area of sky of only 4.3°. http://www.pierpaoloricci.it/eventi/trio02-09-10_eng.htm
Sounds interesting. Unfortunately, the conjunction is in Virgo: mainly a spring constellation in the Northern Hemisphere. At this time of year, it will be very low in the evening sky from where I am... and it just got cloudy! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Will you have a decent view of this event?
