As the UAI explains, the evening of August 16thafter the setting of the Sun, we turn our gaze towards the eastern horizon to admire the spectacle of the meeting between the crescent moon and the ever-bright planet Venus. The two stars will be found in the constellation Virgo, near the star Spica (in the map the sky on August 16, 2026 at approximately 9.00 pm).
