Mercury will conjoin with Mars in sky over Bashkortostan

But we will not be able to see the planets' approach.

According to the Ufa city planetarium, on March 14 at 11:43 local time, the planets will meet in the constellation Aquarius.

"But we will not see this conjunction, because Mars and Mercury are located in the sky near the Sun; in the morning they rise only a few minutes before sunrise and are not visible against the background of the bright sky, and in the evening they set before the Sun," the planetarium explained.
