do not miss! The timing of the conjunction of the planet and the moon is Monday morning

Link time! This is the view of the northern hemisphere. Viewing the southern hemisphere, below, is better. Moon, bright Venus, fading Mars, and Saturn merging into one 8.° Circle on March 27 and 28, 2022. Illustrated by John Gordon Coss.

March 28 AM: Aha

In the early morning sky, a three-quarters of the moon is close to three planets, now a chain linkage must occur. Look at these worlds on the morning of Monday, March 28, 2022, and they and the moon fit into an 8-degree circle in the dome of the sky.

Tuesday It is 4 degrees north of the moon 3 UTC on March 28
Friday Is 7 degrees north of the moon 10 UTC on March 28.
Saturn It is 4 degrees north of the moon 12 UTC on March 28.
Friday It is 2 degrees north Saturn at 13 UTC on March 29.

The view from March 28th is absolutely stunning. If you get a better picture, send it to us!

Note to telescope users: A faint comet, 22P/Kopf 27 and March 28 is also close to the planets. But in the eleventh level and at dawn you need your telescope to catch it, the sky is dark, and the experience of seeing fainter things.

View from the southern hemisphere

BTW, the view from the southern hemisphere is best as the eclipse path rises at a very steep angle from the horizon. Not only can you see Venus, Mars, and Saturn near the moon, but you can also see Jupiter before sunrise.

Morning sky on March 28 for those looking up at the sky in the Southern Hemisphere. You are lucky! The eclipse — or the path of the sun, moon, and planets in our sky — forms a steep angle with the dawn horizon on an autumn morning. So, unlike those in the Northern Hemisphere, events take place directly above you at sunrise without you being to one side. Illustrated by John Gordon Coss.

Conclusion: Combine the morning planets Venus, Mars and Saturn to see the moon orbiting on March 27 and 28, 2022. In the Southern Hemisphere, you can also see Jupiter.
