Sky gazers will be able to catch a glimpse of the planet Saturn this week as the bright ‘star’ comes close to the moon.
On Tuesday, November 1, the ringed planet will edge just close enough to the moon for people in all corners of the earth to take a look.
The extremely rare event will see the planet making a rare close approach to the Moon and so anyone who captures it on camera is asked to send it to [email protected] for publication in Astronomy Ireland magazine.
