Catch a Glimpse of Mars Tonight
Tonight, August 2, is your chance to witness the Red Planet as it dances near Beta Virginis, also known as Zavijava. As the sun sets, direct your gaze towards the west to see this celestial spectacle. The visibility of Mars will be enhanced as it forms a wide double with Zavijava, which shines brightly at the fourth magnitude.
This astronomical event offers a perfect opportunity for stargazers and amateur astronomers alike. Make sure to have your telescope or binoculars ready for a closer view. The contrasting colors of the Red Planet and the golden hue of Beta Virginis create a stunning visual effect that is not to be missed!
