Venus will be paired with Jupiter on the evening of March 14, 2012. While Venus with Saturn will occur just before dawn on November 27, 2012. Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn will appear adjacent to each other.
In astronomical terms, the phenomenon when the two planets close together is called a conjunction. Conjunctions of Venus and Jupiter is best seen on March 14, 2012 between the hours of 18:30 to 19:00 pm. When conjunctions, they would just as far apart as 3 degrees. Both will shine in the western sky. Jupiter appears with magnitude -1.97 and -4.17 Venus.
Meanwhile, conjunctions of Venus and Saturn can be seen on 27 November 2012 starting at 4:00 pm in the eastern sky. Venus will appear with a magnitude -3.87 1.33 bermagnitud while Saturn. Distances are both very close to almost fused, only 1 degree apart.
Conjunctions of the planets are commonplace in astronomy. This phenomenon can be seen with the naked eye, but can be seen more clearly with a telescope. Magnitude refers to the apparent brightness of celestial objects. The more negative, the more luminous.
Venus-Jupiter conjunction is estimated to have occurred years 3 BC and is associated with the Star of Christmas, a phenomenon seen by the Magi linked to the birth of Jesus. However, until now not clear whether the Christmas star is Venus-Jupiter Conjunction.
Meanwhile, conjunctions of Venus and Saturn will be more special this year. Just when the two planets are in pairs, Mercury will come accompanied. This can be seen at about 4:30 in the morning of 27 November 2012.
Conjunction of Venus-Venus-Jupiter and Saturn did not last long. Venus-Jupiter will sink quickly after conjunction. Meanwhile, Venus-Saturn will not appear due to rapid dawn. So do not miss. And, just relax, conjunctions of Venus will not cause any commotion.
