Abu Zahra added, on the association’s official Facebook page, that Venus is about 65 times brighter than Saturn right now, and that they will be in front of the constellation Capricorn, and they can be seen together in the field of view of a low power telescope or binoculars.
He added that the two planets will appear close to each other to the observer because they are located on the same line of sight from Earth, but not in space.
