"From March 17 to 25, we will have the opportunity to see Venus in the morning, in Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Kazan, Newburg, Novosibirsk and Krasnoyarsk. This visibility of the planet is called double visibility. This effect occurs when Venus is in touch between the sun and the sun.
He explained that the relatively large slope of the Venus orbit creates conditions on these dates, in which the planet will be significantly from the darkness of the eclipse, which the sun is moving on earth.
According to the specialist, different lighting of the Venus disk will allow the different stages of this planet, including Venus's crescent, sometimes called Venus Month. "
"Venus will be visible in the evening, just after sunset, below the western part of the horizon, and in the morning before sunrise, in the eastern part of the horizon. Such conditions are repeated once every eight years. After March 25, Venus will be visible only in the morning, "Nesterenko said.
