Mercury and Jupiter align over Qatar Thursday
Automatically launched into the sky of Qatar on Thursday, June 25, 2026, is the conjunction of Mercury with the largest planet in the Solar System, Jupiter, which occurs 3.8 degrees south of it. Observers in Qatar will be able to see both planets with the naked eye from the western horizon immediately after sunset, which will be at 6:29 PM, with Mercury disappearing around 7:50 PM. This phenomenon presents a unique opportunity to observe and photograph the planets and to verify the accuracy of astronomical calculations.
