Hello to all,
Lady Venus back in the evening sky.
She will "fly by" Saturn at a minimum geocentric distance close from 20.7 ' (slighly above a Moon apparent Semi-Diameter) on Jan 22nd, 2023 by 22h14m UT.
She will "fly by" Jupiter at a minimum geocentric distance close from 29.3' (about a Moon apparent angular Diameter) on March 02nd, 2023 by 05h05m UT.
Mars is next in the sky. Any such close encounter then with Venus later this year ?
