The parade of planets can be seen in the sky of Leningrad next weekend.
On the night between November 13 and 14, residents of the Leningrad region will be able to watch a rare astronomical event - a parade of planets. Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter will be visible in one part of the sky during the morning hours.
The best time for observation is considered just before sunrise. And the place is an open space. You'll have to look at the southeast horizon.
At the same time, Mars and Jupiter will be especially close to each other, ensuring an impressive spectacle even without a telescope. Also, in this tandem area it will be possible to observe the Leonid meteor shower, which will reach its peak on November 18. The intensity of the meteor shower will be about 20 meteors per hour.
On the last evening of November, three celestial bodies will line up in the sky - Mars, Jupiter and the Moon. They can be distinguished by color: on the left is reddish Mars, in the center is bright yellowish Jupiter, and on the right is the Moon in its last quarter phase.
