There is a treat for early risers on the morning of October 8, as people will be able to view groupings of bright planets. Those who will not be able to get up on time, they do not need to worry as evening sky offers stargazing as well.

The action will take place in the eastern sky. As per officials, if people see it on time then they will be able to see four planets as well as a crescent moon all at once. Venus will be the one leading the grouping. Authorities concerned affirmed that Venus is the brightest of all and rises early as well.

People will be able to see a crescent moon, Venus, the bright star Regulus with Mars and Jupiter. Experts said that Venus will also look like a distant crescent moon.

Dr. Melodi Rodrigue at UNR Physics explained about a multiple star system by saying, “Multiple star systems are the result of two or more stars in orbit with each other; they are gravitationally bound. They are not rare — in fact around 50 percent of the stars in the sky are actually part of a multiple system”.

As said above, in the evening one can look for the Big Dipper that will be positioned low over the northern horizon. The only thing one should pray for is that there should be clear skies so people can enjoy the planet-watching.
