Юпитер и Венера образовали на небе яркую пару в феврале и марте. Как это выглядит – фото

Две самые яркие планеты на земном небе, Венера и Юпитер, на протяжении февраля образовали яркую пару, постепенно приближаясь друг к другу.

В начале месяца их разделяло 29 градусов, а 1 марта планеты "подойдут" на малейшее визуальное расстояние – 0,52 градуса.

Юпитер будет сиять с величиной -2,1, вдвое ярче Сириуса, самой яркой звезды на небе. А Венера вспыхнет с величиной -4,0, почти в шесть раз ярче Юпитера. В благоприятную погоду эти две планеты будут выделяться на небе. Вот как небесную встречу отслеживали астрофотографы в феврале:

Are you ready for Jupiter & Venus conjunction?

This spectacular celestial phenomena will occur on 1 and 2 March. Both planets will hang in the lower western sky just after sunset and they will be just 0.5° apart.

REMINDER: #Jupiter stands next to #Venus at dusk today. A beautiful moment.

As usual for similar #astronomy events, I will be retweeting your photos, dear followers, so please add @xipteras to your tweet tonight.

Thanks, CS and good luck to you all. https://t.co/GI3qFP3ljc

There’s a meetup happening in the western sky: the crescent Moon sits close to Jupiter, with Venus below them. Jupiter and Venus will continue to cozy up until March 1, when they’ll be at their closest.

This past evening Venus and Jupiter finally appeared through the clouds! This was taken from Grimsby, Ontario. There is another chance to catch the pair even closer together on Wednesday March 1. https://t.co/r4yjPSRBKF. @weathernetwork @twanight #jupitervenus #conjunction pic.twitter.com/rkKvX2OEQt
