Ternate, malutpost.id – This unique astronomical phenomenon showing planets lined up like bright stars occurs during April 2022. The solar system parade visible in the eastern sky can be observed with the naked eye or captured using cameras including cellphones.
This rare phenomenon can be seen in the sky of Ternate City, North Maluku, Wednesday (27/4/2022) at around 05.20 WIT this morning.
There are two bright stars that are close to the moon with their bright light. This has been observed since early April until now. Malutpost.id had time to capture the moment every morning using a cellphone camera.

Avivah, one of the astronomers from the Langit Selatan community in Bandung, admitted that she had been observing this celestial phenomenon since April 7, 2022, when the planets Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, and Venus seemed to be closely observed from Earth.
The observation location is in front of the house. Likewise on Saturday morning, April 23, 2022. “Cute to take pictures,” said Avivah quoted from Tempo.coSunday (24/4/2022).
According to him, on Monday, April 25, 2022, the position of the moon is close to Saturn. Then in the following days, the moon seemed to have visited the other three planets. On April 26, the moon’s position is close to Mars, then next to Venus this Thursday morning, April 27.
In April, the best observation time can be from 03.30 until before sunrise as long as the weather is sunny. (ikh)
