And now for planetary conjunctions, where one planet gets close to another
as seen from the earth:
mercury and: venus 3/15 separation 2.5 degrees venus 4/28 0.3 venus 7/2 5.0 mars 5/19 1.0 mars 7/7 5.3 mars 8/10 0.1 jupiter 5/8 0.8 saturn 5/10 2.3 uranus 1/28 1.3 neptune 1/20 2.4 Venus and: mars 6/21 0.3 jupiter 5/17 0.1 saturn 5/18 1.2 uranus 3/4 0.1 neptune 2/22 0.5 Mars and: jupiter 4/6 1.1 saturn 4/16 2.4 Jupiter and: saturn 5/31 1.2On 3/4 there will be a close conjunction between Venus and Uranus with a separation of only 234 arcseconds (4 degrees). On 5/17 between venus and jupiter with a separation of only 42 arcseconds, and on 8/10 between mercury and mars with a separation of 289 degrees.
The moon will occult the following objects:
Uranus 1/9, 2/5, 3/2, 3/31 Neptune 2/4, 3/2, 3/30, 4/26 Venus 3/4 Mercury 7/29As you can see from the number of conjunctions happening in May, this will be a rather optimal time to see many of the planets in roughly the same part of the sky. They will not be lined up along the line-of-sight, but will be lined up along the ecliptic; a thin band in the sky that corresponds to the orbital plane of the solar system. This happens every hundred years of so with no consequences for the earth!
