Modern Express News (Reporter Aria Wen / Photo) When the brilliant Venus meets the white moon, it will always add a bright color to the sky. On the evening of September 10, a romantic "fairy tale of the stars and moons", Venus with the eyebrow moon, will be staged in the western sky. If the weather is good, the public across the country will be able to enjoy this scene with the naked eye.

Venus is the brightest natural object in the entire sky except for the Sun and Moon. Venus was known as "Taibai" in ancient China, and when it appeared in the morning, people called it "Daystar" or "Morning Star"; when it appeared at dusk, people called it "Chang Gung Star" or "Evening Star".
When Venus and the Moon travel exactly to the same longitude and the distance between the two reaches the closest, a Venus conjunction is formed. It is known as the most beautiful "star moon fairy tale" in the planetary conjunction moon, and because of its great sense of picture, it is also the target of many astronomy enthusiasts and photography enthusiasts.
On the evening of September 10, in the low sky in the west, a crescent moon floated above the canopy. Not far below the crescent moon, Venus shines brightly. The public can use their imagination to the fullest, and Venus is like a jewel thrown from the silver-white boat of the moon. Since there are no other bright objects around, this celestial phenomenon is extremely clear and the viewing effect is very good.
At that time, as long as the weather is good, there are no too high buildings, mountains or trees near the western horizon, and people can enjoy this beautiful scene with the naked eye. In addition to the naked eye to see the beauty of the "Golden Moon Rendezvous", you can also use the telescope to observe the crater, plains and mountains of the moon, and enjoy the charming figure of Venus like a small moon.
In general, Venus conjunctions are not uncommon, and this phenomenon occurs about every 30 days. As long as the moon "chases" Venus once, it will stage a Venus conjunction, but the observation conditions are different each time. The Modern Express reporter learned that the next Venus conjunction moon will occur on October 10, and the visual effect is also very good.
