NASA: Watch planet Venus form a trio with Moon and Mars in February!
Watching another planet in the sky sounds exciting right! And what if we tell you that February is the perfect time to see Venus at its brightest in the early morning hours? That's right! According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), you can look for Orion Nebula and Venus in the month of February. Informing about the same NASA tweeted, "February is the perfect time to look for the Orion Nebula—and to see Venus at its brightest in the early morning hours. What else is in our night skies this month? We've got the rundown in our latest edition of "What's Up": https://go.nasa.gov/37ePy0B."
According to NASA, you can look for Venus to form a trio with the Moon and Mars on the morning of February 26, 2022. "What's Up for February? Jupiter makes its exit, Venus at peak brightness, and the star-forming cloud next door. With the departure of Saturn and Venus over the past two months, Jupiter is the only bright planet left in our twilight skies in February, and it's on its way out! The giant planet stands alone, low in the western sky after sunset in February," NASA said in a report.
As per the information provided, once Jupiter disappears, at the end of February, the post-sunset sky will be essentially devoid of naked-eye planets until August, when Saturn will start rising in the east around sunset. You can also spot Mercury as it pops briefly above the horizon in April and May, for a short period though.
