The Jeddah Astronomical Society confirmed that the time was perfect to observe Venus in the dawn sky, which adorns the eastern skyline of the sky this year, pointing out that it is brighter than any star in the dawn sky and that it will fall under Jupiter, the giant of our solar system.
The astronomical assembly of Jeddah said in a report that Venus and Jupiter were the second and third brightest objects of the night sky, respectively, after the sun and the moon, but that on January 6, the moon will leave the sky from dawn and will coincide with the arrival of Venus at the peak of brightness, such as "Morning Star". "It will coincide with a partial solar eclipse that will not be seen in the Arab world.
Because Venus is an "internal" planet, which means that its orbit is located between the sun and the earth, we do not see Venus when the sun meets the sun as with the full moon at 180 degrees or when the sun is in the sky.
In general, Venus can never fall 90 degrees from the sun in the sky, but when the moon is in its first or last square, it is 90 degrees from the sun.
The maximum distance between the angle of the sun and that of the sun is barely greater than 45 degrees. It is called the maximum angle of elongation of the sun when the angle separates it from the sun to the maximum in the evening sky or in the dawn sky.
The Venusian planet reaches its elbows and is metaphorically described (the morning star) on January 6, 2019 at 47 degrees west of the sun in the sky. At that time, the planet shines before sunrise for a maximum period of more than 3 hours.
During the rest of January, we can see Venus and Jupiter. After the lengthening of the morning, the Venus will descend slowly towards sunrise, while the Jupiter will rise from the eastern horizon. The two planets will therefore meet on January 22, 2019 in an extraordinary situation. .
Venus will be "the morning star" for several more months and will leave the dawn sky in the upper conjunction on August 14, 2019 to return to the evening sky.
