As Jupiter and Venus dance in the sky on Saturday morning twilight, the two planets will meet in combination, almost looking like they are colliding with each other. Due to the glow from the two brightest planets in the sky, observers will be able to see them merge into a very bright, striking glow. This planetary meeting will continue to be visible on Sunday morning, but the positions of the planets will be reversed. On Friday night, the Astronomy in Kitchener-Waterloo team will meet at McLennan Park in Kitchener for a screening party in search of other celestial bodies. In a Facebook post, the team of amateur astronomers encourages people to show up before 9 p.m. to see the Exterminator, the M42 nebula, the constellation Orion, Sirius – our brightest star – and the ecliptic. Environment Canada calls for a clean but cool Friday night with a low temperature of -1 C. SHARE:
