Welcome September with a great return, the Moon – Mars “kiss” will be visible to the naked eye

Let’s not miss a great return to our skies tonight, the “kiss” Moon-Mars. There splendid conjunction it will be high on the horizon in the night between 5 and 6 Septemberand, time permitting, visible to the naked eye. We don’t miss out!

As the UAI explains, among other things, the show will be even more beautiful: in fact in the second part of the night between 5 and 6 September, the waning Moon will enter the constellation of Gemini to form a beautiful quadrilateral with the planet Mars and the stars Castor and Pollux (on the map the sky of September 6, 2026 at approximately 3.00 am).

Yes, rush hour is not very convenient, but the event actually starts even earlier, albeit lower on the horizon. And anyway, as always, it’s worth it.

Happy viewing!
