The show will begin when Venus and the Moon appear from the dusk twilight in great proximity to each other. The moon will be particularly thin - a 5% crescent on the night of May 15 and about 10% on Sunday May 16.
This coming weekend, Venus and the crescent moon approach each other in the western sky for a spectacular meeting, and they may be joined by the International Space Station and possibly the space shuttle Atlantis for a square celestial meeting of planets and spacecraft. Although regarding the space shuttle, it is not certain that it will also appear over Israel precisely at those hours.
The show will begin when Venus and the Moon appear from the dusk twilight in great proximity to each other. The moon will be particularly thin - a 5% crescent on the night of May 15 and about 10% on Sunday May 16. Between the rays of the crescent, it will be possible to see a ghostly figure of the full moon. It is about the sunrise of the earth - the sunlight that our planet reflects and somewhat illuminates the dark surface.
In conjunction with Venus, the crescent moon will be seen with the earth's glow illuminating it as one of the most beautiful sights in the sky.
In many cities in the USA it will be possible to see the International Space Station crossing the sky at dusk when it is already dark below but the sun is still shining at the height where the shuttle is, and this sight will also add to the beauty of the grouping of the Moon and Venus.
The STS-132 mission of the space shuttle Atlantis to the space station will help lay the groundwork for the post-shuttle era. The shuttle will move tons of supplies and spare parts as well as transport a Russian research laboratory and a European robotic arm to the station. The astronauts plan to perform three spacewalks on the outer side of the station.
The ferry is expected to be launched today (Friday) at 21:20 Israel time.

Today I saw the International Space Station passing on the horizon, damn it was fast 🙂
Nibiru is not a planet at all, it is the death star that came from a very distant galaxy.
Shay - I want too - will you sell me some?
It's not Venus it's Nibiru... and it will continue to grow before our eyes with time!
Well, then:
In Israel, the gathering will be on the 16th of the month and it will set at approximately 22:00 p.m. On the 15th the moon will only be in the area.
Regarding the space station: it will visit us once on the 15th and twice on the 16th, the first two times we will not see a grouping, because it is pointing in the northeast (and the grouping will be in the northwest. On 16.5.10/21/20, at 21:24 p.m. to XNUMX:XNUMX p.m. The space will rise in the northeast, rise and move towards the west and disappear when it enters the shadow as before. If it continued to shine for another minute, we would see an amazing grouping with Mars, which is right down its path.
What happened, have you repented yet??????????
Today is actually yesterday because today is already Friday... So yesterday, Thursday May 13th around 8-9 in the evening... I saw a star that was brighter than usual. It seemed to me like a falling meteor that burned up in the sky of the atmosphere on its way to the earth and I noticed it for over a month or so that there was a star It shines in such a special yellow color in the sky and its size seems to change, it is such a glow... I wondered every time if it was a falling meteor or a star [Mars] or a space shuttle, etc...
If there is an answer I can get I would love to hear it :)
I've been quite interested in the field of astronomy for many years, so interesting to know haha 🙂
