26 and 27 February we do not miss the celestial shows that announce the parade of the planets on the 28th: on the 26th we will admire the tris Venus- Mercury – Saturn and on the 27th “kiss” Moon – Jupiter. Weather permitting, we could also see everything with the naked eye, although – we always say – to better observe the details of the Lord of the Ringsit is always preferable to use at least good binoculars.
As the UAI explains, the Venus – Mercury – Saturn trio characterizes the sky on the western horizon in these days of February. On the evening of the 26th, after the sunset of the Sun, we will be able to notice the conjunction between Venus, in the constellation of Aquarius, and Mercury, in Pisces, a constellation which also hosts, higher up, Saturn (in the map the sky of February 26, 2026 at 6.30 pm).
And it doesn’t end here, because on the night of February 27th the Moon and Jupiter they meet in the constellation Gemini, near the stars Castor And Polluxwith the Moon close to the Full phase, giving us a romantic “celestial kiss” which, with a clear sky, will be completely visible to the naked eye (on the map the sky of February 27, 2026 at approximately 8.00 pm).
