A rare event in which three fairly bright planets come into close proximity as seen from our angle of view on Earth
In the last few days we have seen a spectacular astronomical spectacle in the evening sky, a grouping of three planets side by side. Venus, Jupiter and Mercury are indeed quite far from each other, but their orbits around the sun allowed them to group together so that an observer from Earth would see them very close.
In the coming nights, the planet Jupiter will move in the direction of the sun until it disappears behind it, the planet Mercury will move away from the sun but will return and disappear in the evening twilight in about two weeks, on the other hand, Venus will leave the evening sky until the end of October and during the summer months will even look brighter.
