๐ 26 August 2025 | 22:11 IST
๐ Visible from New Delhi: 19:28 โ 20:39 IST
โจ A beautiful cosmic pairing in Virgo โ
The 3-day-old Moon (mag โ10.2) passes just 2ยฐ47′ south of Mars (mag 1.6) ๐
๐ Low on the western horizon โ only 14ยฐ high
๐ Short window to catch it: just under 2 hours after sunset
๐ญ Best seen with binoculars or the naked eye
โ too wide for a telescope view
๐ This close approach, called an appulse,
is a lovely moment of alignment โ the Moon and Mars in the evening twilight.
Look west after sunset โ
a brief but brilliant planetary pairing awaits!
