Jupiter and Venus together converge

International Space Agency said, Jupiter and Venus will stand side by side and appear on the night (14-3-hour Vietnam night).

According to scientists, this is the first time after eight years Jupiter and Venus appear at close distance and easily visible with the naked eye. These two planets will appear at a few degrees to the west - southwest.

Experts who do not give an accurate measure of the distance of the 'duo' will appear tonight but only by an arm's length if they look from the ground.

The brightness of Jupiter and Venus tonight is said to be the brightest ever, so the naked eye is easy to see.

Robert Massey, a member of the Royal Astronomical Society, said: 'Jupiter and Venus will be brilliant tonight. Both will shine like two bright lights, and you won't be mistaken for another star. '

He also said, from about 7 o'clock (international time), people can see the appearance of these two stars in the west. Both will approach each other until March 17.

According to calculations, this phenomenon will continue to occur in June and July this year. Maybe, until May 5-2013 and June 2015 will repeat this phenomenon.
