Venus and Jupiter, the two brightest planets in the night sky, will approach the minimum distance. This astronomical phenomenon can be observed in the pre-dawn hours for three days: August 11, 12 and 13.
The greatest convergence will occur on the morning of August 12 — the planets will be at a distance of 1 degree from each other (approximately two lunar diameters). In central Russia (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan, Yekaterinburg), the optimal time for observation is from 2:00 to 4:00 local time.
In the southern regions, the planets will be visible from 2:30 to 4:30. You need to look for them above the northeastern horizon, in the direction of sunrise.
