Triple Moon Conjunction @ Earth
Jul 4 – Jul 7 all-day
Triple Moon Conjunction @ Earth | Sydney | New South Wales | Australia

Sounds pretty fancy, right?  It simply means three solar system bodies coming together, not in distance, but in perspective.  For star watchers it means some pretty sweet night sights!  It’s particularly exciting when the moon and planets are involved.

Saturday, July 5 will mark the night of the waxing gibbous moon as it groups together with the bluish colored star Spica and separates from Mars in the southwest sky. On July 6 and 7 the planets and moon will seem to cluster together even more than usual in the southern hemisphere for a truly unique sight.
