The planet Venus will pass between the Earth and the Sun tomorrow during the so-called inferior conjunction, and due to the planet's exceptional proximity, this event is also called the "kiss of Venus", they announced. foreign media.

Such an alignment occurs every 19 months because of the way Venus and Earth orbit the Sun, and the moment of inferior conjunction occurs around 21 p.m. Eastern Standard Time in the United States.

Venus will be extremely difficult to see because it has phases like the Moon, and before and after conjunction it will appear as a thin crescent that can only be seen with a telescope.

"The glare from the sun makes it really, really hard to see," said Michelle Nichols of the Adler Planetarium in Chicago.

After the conjunction, Venus will be visible in the morning sky just before sunrise.
