New Delhi (PTI): As the sun goes down in the evening, step outside and look southwest to see a celestial phenomenon.
The three-way conjunction of Venus, Jupiter and the Crescent Moon will be spectacular event for skygazers in the next few days.
In the evening sky, skywatchers can see Venus and Jupiter getting close to each other as they circle the Sun.
The celestial triangle will be visible from all parts of the world, even from light-polluted cities. People in New York and Hong Kong will see it just as clearly as astronomers watching from remote mountaintops.
