Jeddah Observatory Observes Sun and Leo's Heart Conjunction
An observation was made in Jeddah of the annual conjunction between the Sun and the star known as Regulus (the Heart of Leo). During this event, the star approaches the Sun visually and then disappears behind it in the sky, rendering it invisible from Earth. Regulus is one of the brightest stars in the Leo constellation and is approximately 79 light-years away from Earth. It is a multiple star system, consisting of a blue-white star that is hotter than the Sun. The star begins to reappear in the dawn sky before sunrise in early September, gradually moving away from the Sun's glare as the angular distance between them increases, making it more observable. By the autumnal equinox, it reappears in the evening sky and remains visible high in the sky throughout the spring season.
