Moon conjoins Scorpio over north
Last night, the skies over the Northern Borders region witnessed the conjunction of the Moon with Antares, one of the brightest stars of the Scorpius constellation. The star appeared near the Moon shortly after sunset and can be observed with the naked eye in clear atmospheres. Antares is among the most luminous stars and is approximately 550 light-years away from Earth. The phenomenon showcases a apparent proximity between the two from the observer's perspective due to the movement of celestial objects along their orbits, enhancing astronomical awareness and encouraging the observation and documentation of celestial phenomena.
