Moon Will Pass Close to Saturn in Sky Over Bashkortostan

On the night of October 5 to 6, the Moon will pass close to Saturn in the sky over Bashkortostan. According to the Ufa City Planetarium, both celestial objects will be visible in the constellation Aquarius.

They will rise almost simultaneously above the horizon: the Moon at 18:11, followed by Saturn 16 minutes later. In the evening, they will appear low above the southeastern horizon. By midnight, they will reach their highest point at 32 degrees above the horizon, visible in the southern sky.

The Moon and Saturn can be observed with the naked eye or through binoculars. They will remain visible until 5 a.m., after which they will set below the western horizon.
