The organization indicates: “Early in the evening, before 20. hours, you can see the planets Venus and Jupiter above the western horizon. The planet Mars is in the sky all evening. The moon can be seen as a narrow crescent in the evening sky this weekend. The lunar craters and the vast, almost smooth lunar seas are clearly visible thanks to the shadow effect.” In short: if you know what to look at, you will see a lot this weekend!
