Planetary conjunction

Hi every one hope you are all well

My followers will know of my interest in astronomy. Right now we can see a fab planetary conjunction. Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn will line up in the sky this week and could stay visible to the naked eye for a number of weeks.

We will be treated to this visible to the eye sight from mid / late April all the way through to early May, and the four planets will be visible early in the mornings before sunrise.

Best time to observe this phenomenon early morning from around 5am over the coming days, just after the planets rise above the horizon, but just before the Sun follows after them.

The Moon will also join the line-up on April 23, with a fifth planet – Mercury – becoming visible from June 24.

Here is a challenge for everyone. Take a photo of the conjunction and send it to me at steve_mccue@hotmail.com or by messenger on 078 287 414 73. I will put them on my Facebook.

#PeaceLoveGroovyness to you all
