KUWAIT CITY, Aug 3 : The Al-Ajari Scientific Center said on Saturday that the first week of August will witness a group of astronomical phenomena that can be seen with the naked eye if the sky is clear at night. The center added in a press statement to Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) that starting at 2:00 am on Sunday, August 4, the planet Mars will rise in conjunction with the star Aldebaran, which is characterized by its large size and orange color.

The conjunction will remain visible until the scene disappears with the intensity of the morning twilight light due to sunrise. It explained that the new moon of the month (the new moon of Safar) will also be born tomorrow, Sunday, and will appear the following day in conjunction with the planet Venus and the star Heart of Leo, which is considered one of the brightest stars in the sky at night. The conjunction will be visible immediately after sunset towards the west until the scene sets at night. The center stated that next Tuesday, August 6, the planet Venus and Mercury will be in conjunction immediately after sunset towards the west, and the condition will end at night. (KUNA)
