    Re: Upcoming Planets 2023 close encounters

    Not until 22 February next year (closest approach at 9h 45m 46s TT by 37.4').

     

    Venus will attempt to overtake Mars in the last weeks of June this year but then pull away again.

     

    At the closest approach on 1 July, 7h 6m 39s TT, the angular distance will be 3.571°.

     

    These predictions are based on Aldo Vitagliano’s SOLEX 12.1

    Subject: [NavList] Upcoming Planets 2023 close encounters

     

    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 ?

    Kermit

    What is NavList?

    NavList is a community devoted to the preservation and practice of celestial navigation and other methods of traditional position-finding. We're a group of navigators, navigation enthusiasts and hobbyists, mathematicians and physicists, and historians interested in all aspects of navigation but primarily those techniques which are non-electronic.

    To post a message, if you are already signed up as a NavList member, start a new discussion or reply to any posted message and use your posting code (this is a simple low-security password assigned when you join). You may also join by posting. Your first on-topic messsage automatically makes you a member, and a posting code will be assigned and emailed to you for future posts.

    Uniquely, the NavList message boards also permit full interaction entirely by email. You can optionally receive individual posts or daily digests by email, and any member can post messages by email (bypassing the web site) by sending to our posting address which is "NavList@NavList.net". This functionality is similar to a traditional Internet mailing list: post by email, read by email, reply by email. Most members will prefer the web interface here for posting and replying to messages.

    NavList is more than an online community... more about that another day.
