Planet Parade

A rather rare astronomical phenomenon is observed in the evening sky today - Mercury and Venus, moving in their orbits, will simultaneously move to their maximum distance from the Sun in the sky. All this happens during a parade of all the bright planets of the solar system. It is also curious that the Moon is making a kind of tour of the planets just at this time. The waxing Moon is a beautiful sight. If, of course, the townspeople find time to look at the night sky, and it’s worth it, the parade of planets is taking place right now. It can be observed in our latitudes until the beginning of April. It is interesting that during this period the Moon makes a kind of tour of the planets and visits each of them - on March 24 at Venus, on March 25 at Mars, yesterday near Saturn and then at Jupiter and Mercury. After April 2, it will move away from the planets, and after the first ten days of April, Mercury will disappear from view. You can observe this beauty only in clear weather, which cannot be said about today. In general, interest in space has now increased, partly apparently due to the expedition to Mars. Even the famous manufacturer Lego has already released a toy Mars rover called Spirit. And in the scientific world they are debating whether the discovered asteroid should be considered the tenth planet. High technologies, apparently, will only multiply discoveries.
