“But one of them, the brightest, can be observed with the naked eye in mid-August - this is the rapprochement of Mars and Jupiter,” the expert said.
According to her, the bright pair will be visible after midnight for several days above the eastern horizon.
“The best time to view this close conjunction of Mars and Jupiter is from midnight until dawn. On August 14, the planets will pass at a distance of 0°18′ from each other and will look like one bright “star,” concluded RT’s interlocutor.
Earlier, Vladimir Kosobokov, chief researcher at the Institute of Earthquake Forecast Theory and Mathematical Geophysics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, spoke in a conversation with RT about the effect of the supermoon on seismic activity.
