This week offers a fantastic opportunity to witness a conjunction between the moon and Antares, a bright red supergiant star.
Finding a location with an unobstructed southern horizon is crucial for observing this celestial event, and higher ground offers an advantage.
The conjunction's visibility is significantly enhanced in the southern hemisphere because Antares resides in the southern constellation Scorpius.
In certain parts of the southern hemisphere, observers might experience a lunar occultation of Antares, where the moon passes directly in front of it, completely blocking its light.
