See it! Photos of Venus-Mars conjunction


Planets on November 3, 2015 by Dennis Chabot.

Planets on the morning of November 3, 2015, when Mars was closer to Venus than it will be again for a couple of years. In the photos on this page, you might have to look closely – near the brightest starlike object (Venus) – to see Mars. If you can spot it, notice Mars’ reddish color. Photo by Dennis Chabot.

In this photo, taken from Estonia by our friend Jüri Voit on the morning of November 3, you can see the moon edging toward Jupiter, Venus and Mars. The moon is the bright one on the right. Jupiter and Venus are on the left. Venus is brighter than Jupiter. Mars is right next to Venus!

The moon creeping toward Jupiter, Venus and Mars on the morning of November 3, 2015. The moon will pass the planets from about November 5-7.
