According to the BBC, the phenomenon of tam tinh congregation is the result of the time around the Sun of the planets. This phenomenon is most visible before the sun rises , when the planets are high in the sky and the sky is dark enough to see them. The phenomenon will last until the weekend and the next iteration is in January 2021.

The most visible planet is Venus. It is about 12 times brighter than Jupiter. Meanwhile, Mars is 250 times darker than Venus.

On October 28 - 29, Venus will pass through Jupiter and combine with Mars to form a balanced triangle . While still millions of kilometers apart, the phenomenon of close planets in the sky is due to their relative position in the solar system. The Sun acts as a torch to light them and from the point of view on Earth, it is difficult to see the space between the planets.
