    Want to gaze at beautiful Sky?  Rare celestial event, the Crescent Moon, Venus, and Jupiter formed the perfect trio in the skies
     Venus, Earth's secret twin, and Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, are already getting closer...

    Digital Desk: The Moon, Venus, and Jupiter showed a synced celestial dance in the skies around the world, which was a rare celestial phenomenon. As they approached one other, the three celestial bodies formed a triangle-like shape in the night sky.

    Venus, Earth's mystery twin, and Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, are already getting closer as they approach their March 1 conjunction. On Wednesday, the Moon joined them early in the evening.

     

    The planetary alignment, also known as a conjunction, causes the two planets to seem close together or even touch in the night sky of Earth. Because of their alignment, the planets appear to occupy the same space in the night sky while being millions of kilometres away.

    Here are some pictures, watch: 






    People from all over the world, including India, saw the bright planets in the sky as they approached each other. Venus is currently the third-brightest natural body in the sky, following the sun and the moon.
    It is so bright that it may be seen in broad daylight at times. 

    The conjunction, however, was short since the Earth revolved on its axis.
