SINGAPORE - People in Singapore will be able to see the moon and the planets Mars and Venus closely grouped in a triangular formation on Thursday evening, according to the Science Centre Observatory.
The proximity means that viewers will be able to obscure the sighting by sticking up three of their fingers on their outstretched arm. The last time the three celestial bodies appeared close together was in late May 2023, according to a spokesman from the Science Centre.“There are varying forms of conjunctions between planets, moon or other astronomical objects almost every month,” said the spokesman. “Conjunctions occur regularly because most planets and the moon lie near the ecliptic, the imaginary line traced out by the sun as it moves across the sky.
