Doha: Qatar Calendar House (QCH) has announced that the giant of the solar system, the planet Jupiter, will meet with Aldebaran Star in skies of Qatar and the countries of the Arab region on early Tuesday morning.
Astronomical expert at QCH, Dr. Bashir Marzouk, said Qatar residents will be able to observe the two celestial objects Jupiter and Aldebaran above the eastern horizon from Tuesday at 2:27 am, and even before sunrise on Tuesday at 4:51 am, Doha local time.
He highlighted that the phenomenon of planetary conjunctions within the solar system will occur 11 times in 2024. The next conjunction will be on Monday, July 15, between Mars and Uranus, noting that the significance of this phenomenon is a good opportunity for sighting and tracking the conjunction of Jupiter and Aldebaran at the closest point in the sky.
Additionally, the phenomenon confirms the precision of astronomical calculations in predicting the orbits and movements of celestial bodies, especially within the solar system. This virtually serves as evidence for astronomy enthusiasts in Qatar and the Arab region to explore celestial objects that can be sighted every night in the sky.
