In Saratov on November 14, you can see a small parade of four planets

Today, November 14, in the morning in Russia there is a small parade of planets with the participation of Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Mercury. This was told by TASS astronomer of the Perm Polytechnic University Evgeny Burmistrov.

Venus and Mercury were in the constellation Virgo, while Jupiter and Mars were in the constellation Leo. Three planets, especially in dark times, can be seen without instruments, but to observe Mercury is low above the horizon, you need binoculars or a telescope.

The brightest non-flickering point is Venus, above and to the left of it was Jupiter, and next to it is a reddish Mars.

The informal term "parade of planets" refers to the convergence of three or more large bodies of the solar system in one sector of the sky, while the alignment of four objects is considered a small parade, five or more - a large one, and all the planets - complete.
