Venus, Mercury, Jupiter and Mars Meet Over a Feast
Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Mercury are meeting for a feast together in the sky. This will happen on May 13th 2011 over the Southern Hemisphere. The event of seeing them together will go on for a week or so by which they will start saying good-bye to each other thereby moving in different angular directions. This rare event is happening when these four planets align together in a row. This will happen again, but no sooner than 2040 September.
This is going to be a real treat for all those people engaged or interested in Astronomy. As per Fred Watson, chief of Anglo Australian Observatory situated in New South Wales, Australia; the event will be visible with naked eyes early in the morning during sunrise hours. The treat will go on for next 4-5 days. As per astrologists, the four planets coming together will affect people on earth in terms of their emotional and behavioral patterns.
If on an average this rarity of alignment of four or five planets happens once only in 29-30 years, it is really a not to be missed treat. I am sure most of the TV channels would be busy in telecasting this event in real time (and later) so as to provide this treat to people who will not be able to see it in the sky living away from Southern Hemisphere. Apparently it looks as if four planets are meeting to review together what is happening on planet Earth!
So keep a gaze over sky to this wonderful event of watching Mars, Jupiter, Venus and Mercury together on May 13th.
