Residents of Republic of Bashkortostan will be able to see meeting of two brightest lights of night sky
On September 19, Venus will be visible next to the Moon.
According to the Ufa City Planetarium, the two brightest lights of the night sky will meet in the constellation Leo in the early morning. About an hour before sunrise, they will be visible in the east, not very high above the horizon.
It will be impossible to mistake Venus — it is the brightest "star" shining in the east. It will rise in the early morning, at 04:13 Ufa time. The Moon will appear above the horizon half an hour earlier. The waning Moon, three days before the new moon, will look like a fragile crescent. Only 8% of the lunar disk will be illuminated by the Sun.
Below Venus, another bright star will be visible — Regulus, the brightest star in Leo.
