Date & Time: November 21, 2025, at 18:00 IST
Event: The Moon and Mars share the same right ascension, with the Moon 4°27′ south of Mars (appulse).
Moon phase: 1 day old, mag –8.0 in Scorpius
Mars magnitude: 1.4 in Ophiuchus
Visibility from New Delhi:
Not observable as both reach their highest point during daytime
At dusk, they will be at or below the horizon (0° altitude), making viewing impossible
Separation too wide for most telescopes, but visible to naked eye or binoculars when above horizon
Ideal viewing requires a location where the pair is higher in the sky during nighttime
A subtle conjunction mostly hidden by daylight—keep an eye out for better opportunities soon!
