Soon Mars will conjunct the Sun.. Is this phenomenon threat human life?

All astronomical phenomena do not have any harm to human health on Earth, with the exception of the solar eclipse, or the passage of the planet Mercury or Venus in front of the sun, as looking at the sun with the naked eye generally harms the eye a lot.

Next Thursday, we await an important astronomical phenomenon, when the planet Mars will conjugate with the sun, in a scene that all astronomy amateurs and those interested in this field are looking forward to monitoring and photographing, if the opportunity allows them.

During this phenomenon, the planet Mars will be in its closest position to the Earth, as it will be in opposition to the sun.

Dr. Ashraf Tadros, Professor of Astronomy at the National Institute for Astronomical Research and former head of the Department of Astronomy, said that the planet Mars will fully illuminate the face of Mars, and it will be brighter than any other time of the year, and it is the best time to view and photograph Mars.

Earth and Mars are on opposite

The coupling of Mars with the sun is when the two planets (Earth and Mars) are on opposite sides of the solar system, and during the encounter, Mars and the sun are on opposite sides of the sky just like the full moon, where Mars appears above the horizon at sunset and sets at sunrise, so it is visible throughout the night.

Ashraf Tadros confirmed that the conjunction of the moon and the planet Mars can be observed from after sunset on Wednesday and entering the night until morning twilight appears at dawn of the next day, 8 December.
