What Is The Moon Venus Conjunction? About The Conjunction
MOON VENUS CONJUNCTION – In this topic, we are going to know about the conjunction between the moon and Venus.
But first, what is a conjunction?
Astronomically, a conjunction is a moment in time which occurs when two astronomical objects or spacecraft have the same right ascension or the same ecliptic longitude as observed from Earth.
When two objects appear close to the ecliptic or the mean plane of the apparent path in the Earth’s sky that the Sun follows over one year, this implies an apparent close approach between the objects as seen on the sky.
Similarly, in this case, it is where the Earth’s moon and the sister planet Venus share the same celestial longitude, according to Space.
The current conjunction of the two bodies occurred at April 26 (Sunday) at around 3:23 PM GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) or in the Philippines 11:23 PM.
Space also added that in the current conjunction, the Earth’s sister planet will be at its brightest.
ABS-CBN News posted the photo of the conjunction, which was taken by Jeromie Cagayan in Dao, Balud, Masbate.
Several other netizens also posted their take of the conjunction in the comments. Here are some of them:
