Visibility from New Delhi:
Not observable, as they reach their highest point during daytime
At dusk, both will be very low, no higher than 1° above the horizon
Viewing note: Too widely separated for a typical telescope view, but binoculars or the naked eye can see them (if visible)
Ideal viewing: Best seen from locations where they are higher above the horizon after sunset or before sunrise
This conjunction offers a subtle sky event mainly suited for darker sky locations with clearer horizon views.
