WATERLO REGION – Sky watchers will enjoy this weekend.
As Jupiter and Venus dance in the sky at dusk on Saturday morning, the two planets will meet in conjunction, seeming to almost collide with each other.
Thanks to the reflections of the two brightest planets in the sky, observers will be able to see them merge into a very bright, spectacular glow.
This planetary meeting will continue to be seen on Sunday morning, but the positions of the planets will be reversed.
On Friday night, the Astronomy at Kitchener-Waterloo group will meet in McLennon Park in Kitchener to look for other celestial bodies. In a Facebook post, the amateur astronomer group encouraged people to show up before 9pm to see the Terminator, the M42 nebula, the constellation Orion, Sirius – our brightest star – and the ecliptic.
Environment Canada calls for a clear but cool Friday night with a low temperature of -1 C.
