On November 16, you'll have a chance to see Mars and Jupiter approach each other—if you wake up at 4 a.m. On the morning of November 16, residents of Moscow will be able to watch with the naked eye the approach of Mars and Jupiter, as well as see Venus and Mercury near them. It will be possible to search for planets from approximately 3:00 a.m. until morning light. Yevgenia Kravchenko, a senior researcher at the Laboratory of Relativistic Astrophysics at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, spoke about it. According to the astronomer, the angular distance between Mars and Jupiter will be about 1.2 degrees - that's about as far as two moons can fit together. Both planets can be seen without a telescope or binoculars. Jupiter will be noticeably brighter, and Mars will be recognizable by its characteristic reddish hue. You should look for celestial bodies above the southeastern part of the horizon when they rise high enough. Venus and Mercury will also appear alongside them, but they will rise closer to dawn.
