🌙🔴 CONJUNCTION OF THE MOON & MARS
🗓 26 August 2025 | 22:11 IST
📍 Visible from New Delhi: 19:28 – 20:39 IST
✨ A beautiful cosmic pairing in Virgo —
The 3-day-old Moon (mag –10.2) passes just 2°47′ south of Mars (mag 1.6) 🌌
📉 Low on the western horizon — only 14° high
🕓 Short window to catch it: just under 2 hours after sunset
🔭 Best seen with binoculars or the naked eye
— too wide for a telescope view
🌗 This close approach, called an appulse,
is a lovely moment of alignment — the Moon and Mars in the evening twilight.
Look west after sunset —
a brief but brilliant planetary pairing awaits!
