Bildunterschrift:
From the observing deck at the European Southern Observatory’s Paranal site in Chile, in March 2008, astronomers captured a conjunction of celestial objects—a moment when two or more astronomical objects appear close together in the sky as seen from Earth. In this scene, the innermost planets Mercury and Venus appear aligned above the Moon, forming a pattern against the sky just before dawn. Although they are at very different distances from Earth, the geometry of their orbits brought them into almost the same line of sight, creating this beautiful cosmic alignment.
In the image, the bright crescent Moon is visible low in the sky near the horizon, forming the most prominent object in the lower part of the scene. Just above the Moon, the brighter planet Venus can be seen, while Mercury, fainter and further from the horizon, appears nearby in the upper part of the image.

Bildunterschrift: Dal ponte di osservazione della sede di Paranal dell’Osservatorio Europeo Australe in Cile, nel marzo 2008, gli astronomi hanno immortalato una congiunzione di corpi celesti: un momento in cui due o più corpi celesti appaiono vicini tra loro nel cielo, visti dalla Terra. In questa scena, i pianeti più interni, Mercurio e Venere, appaiono allineati sopra la Luna, formando una figura nel cielo poco prima dell’alba. Sebbene si trovino a distanze molto diverse dalla Terra, la geometria delle loro orbite li ha portati quasi sulla stessa linea di vista, creando questo splendido allineamento cosmico.
Nell'immagine, la brillante falce di Luna è visibile in basso nel cielo vicino all'orizzonte, costituendo l'oggetto più prominente nella parte inferiore della scena. Appena sopra la Luna si vede il pianeta più luminoso, Venere, mentre Mercurio, più debole e più lontano dall'orizzonte, appare nelle vicinanze nella parte superiore dell'immagine.

Bildunterschrift: A partir do mirante do Observatório Europeu do Sul, em Paranal, no Chile, em março de 2008, astrônomos registraram uma conjunção de objetos celestes — um momento em que dois ou mais objetos astronômicos aparecem próximos uns dos outros no céu, vistos da Terra. Nesta imagem, os planetas mais internos, Mercúrio e Vênus, aparecem alinhados acima da Lua, formando um padrão no o céu pouco antes do amanhecer. Embora estejam a distâncias muito diferentes da Terra, a geometria de suas órbitas os colocou quase na mesma linha de visão, criando este belo alinhamento cósmico.
Na imagem, a Lua crescente brilhante é visível baixa no céu, perto do horizonte, sendo o objeto mais destacado na parte inferior. Logo acima da Lua, pode-se ver o planeta mais brilhante, Vênus, enquanto Mercúrio, mais fraco e mais distante do horizonte, aparece próximo, na parte superior da imagem.
