Quintets between Moon and planets

[ricci]

Only for curiosity, the next event will be in the year 2096, I have calculated the conjunctions between 4 planets and the Moon.

I don't think I can wait for that .... but from my location, on the 13th of August THIS YEAR, shortly after sunset we will see Venus surrounded evenly by Mars, Saturn and a thin crescent moon, none more than maybe 5 degrees away, with Mercury sitting underneath this grouping by about 12 degrees.

4 months away .. yep, that one I can wait for! :thumbsup:
