LONDON: Venus, the planet named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty will make a super-close encounter with Mars. During the event which is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, both the planets will appear merely more than half a degree apart from each other.
As per experts, the planets will appear so close to each other that they will look equal to about the width of the full moon. Later after their close encounter, Venus will move away from the Red planet and will drag towards the eastern horizon.
After both the planets have played their roles the moon will come forward to present another stunning show. Before the dawn on Tuesday, the last quarter moon could be seen gliding past the stunning open star cluster called the Beehive in the southeast sky.
As per experts, the cluster located in the constellation Cancer, the crab, will be only five degrees above the moon. The stunning open cluster of stars is so bright that it could be easily seen with the naked eye.
Later on from November 5-12, sky gazers will be able to see exceptionally bright meteors known as fireballs. These shooting stars will spread out from their constellation Taurus, the bull, which rises in the east late nights this time of the year. .
The shooting stars will have yellow-orange color and will appear moving slight slower across the sky as compared to other meteors.
