Mars and Uranus align at dawn in Jordan
Jordan will witness an astronomical phenomenon early Saturday morning: the conjunction of the planets Mars and Uranus in the Taurus constellation, as they reach their closest apparent distance before sunrise. The two planets can be observed with telescopes or mobile phones around 4:15 a.m., although the peak of the conjunction occurs at 9:10 a.m., but their brightness prevents observing them with the naked eye. Mars appears brighter than Uranus, with an apparent magnitude of approximately +1.3 compared to +5.8. Mars is about 314 million kilometers away from Earth, while Uranus is approximately 3 billion kilometers away.
