A rare planetary alignment is happening this weekend, giving stargazers in Seattle a unique opportunity to view Saturn and Venus at their closest point. According to NASA and astronaut Buzz Aldrin, this alignment will take place on Saturday night.
Saturn and Venus have been moving towards each other in the sky, and they will appear as close as an inch apart from Earth’s perspective. However, it’s essential to remember that in reality, these planets are hundreds of millions of miles apart.
The alignment is a rare event, offering viewers a chance to witness two planets in our solar system at their closest point for just one night. Seattle residents can take advantage of this opportunity and enjoy the celestial spectacle on Saturday night.
