US scientists said that on May 12, the four planets in the solar system will "snuggle" together, at dusk (in the US as dawn). These are Venus, Jupiter, Mars and Mercury. This amazing natural phenomenon can be observed with the naked eye.

At that time, Venus and Jupiter moved close together, quite low in the east and shining. Venus is the second morning star after the Moon. Jupiter is located on the left of Venus. Mercury is located below Venus, a distance from Venus about the distance between Venus and Jupiter. And Mars is on Jupiter's left about twice as much. Mars can be seen more clearly with binoculars.

Before these four planets were "snuggled" together, Vietnamese astronomers enjoyed "meteor shower" in the morning of May 6.

According to Mr. Dang Vu Tuan Son, Chairman of the Vietnam Young Astronomical Club , the planet is the celestial bodies below the star level, having many times smaller mass than the stars. Their mass is not enough to produce nuclear fusion reactions that help them glow like stars so planets are dark bodies. They move around the star in elliptical paths with defined cycles.

The solar system is known for 8 planets counted from inside (most Sun near), including: Mercury (Mercury), Venus (Venus), Earth (Earth), Mars (Mars), Jupiter (Jupiter) ), Saturn (Saturn), Uranus (Uranus) and Neptune (Neptune).
