If you love observing the night sky, look for constellations, hunt for planetary positions then it is a good time to get your binoculars out. You might be able to see Jupiter and Saturn quite close to the moon. It is in fact, rare conjunction which forms a triangular formation between the three objects. The waning moon, Saturn and Jupiter appear in the southeastern sky.

For those who have spotted it from two days ago, they have shared pics on Twitter. Strawberry Moon 2020 Photos: Netizens Share Beautiful Images of the Full Moon of June Before the Penumbral Lunar Eclipse Tonight.

When astral bodies move closer to each other it is called as a conjunction. While in reality, the planets are much farther away from each other, for us it appears they are right next to each other.

You can observe this rare conjunction at 10:12 PM EDT (7.42 AM IST). For many it appears as a triangle, for others, it could look like a smiley face. Annular Solar Eclipse 2020 Date and Timings in IST and GMT: Everything You Need to Know About Surya Grahan or The 'Ring of Fire'.
