Viewing before sunrise recommended
Isle of Man residents will be able to view Jupiter and Venus over the next few days.
Known as a 'planetary conjuncture' the two planets will appear close to one another to the naked eye.
This is one of two events which should be visible from the Island this week along with the Perseids meteor shower.
Astronomer Howard Parkin says the best time to view the event will be well before sunrise and explains where in the sky to look for them:
Plans submitted for temporary base for Douglas RNLI
Discussions about its permanent future are still ongoing
Work underway to remove asbestos from former Golf Links Hotel
Areas containing hazardous material identified in report
Police raise welfare concerns about vehicle occupant
Officers looking for a pale blue Ford Fusion
New EV charging points planned for Island's ports
Manx Utilities also planning a solar canopy at Ronaldsway
