On August 12, 2025, early risers will witness a rare celestial event as
Venus and Jupiter, the brightest planets in our solar system, align in a stunning planetary conjunction. Appearing less than a degree
apartrCocloser than the width of a full MoonrCothey will create the illusion of a brilliant double star in the morning sky. Look east about 30rCo45
minutes before sunrise to see this once-in-a-lifetime astronomical
phenomenon, visible to the naked eye even from light-polluted cities.
Venus will blaze with dazzling white light, while Jupiter will glow with
a golden hue. This spectacular skywatching event requires no telescope,
but binoculars or a small telescope will offer an unforgettable close-up
view. Perfect for astrophotography lovers, space enthusiasts, and anyone wanting to experience the beauty of the universe. EfiirL?
