Experts say that the star gazers will be able to make the most of clear skies this week as there is very less cloud cover over the city.
Scientists at the Birla Science Planetarium say that the celestial objects will be clearly visible in the eastern direction.
“There will be a good visibility of the planets since there is very less cloud cover. Usually during the monsoon, after fresh spells of rain, the sky is clear and most favorable for stargazing,” said Director of BM Birla Science Centre BG Sidharth.
“As there are traffic restrictions at night due to the current situation, light pollution is also less, making it a good time to witness these celestial objects with the naked eye,” he added.
Earlier this week, the stargazers in the city witnessed a rare and majestic comet, Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE), pass our planet. The estimates suggest that the next time you can see this comet is in the year 8786.
