Early risers around the world will wake up to a stunning cosmic display as the moon and Venus appear entwined together in the pre-dawn sky Tuesday.

This event is due to the close proximity of Earth’s natural satellite to the infernal realm which will be visible around 3:11 AM ET, and the pair will separate at around 4:25 PM ET when our planet dips below the horizon.

The crescent and Venus will appear five degrees away from each other, and both are visible to the naked eye.

This celestial display will be visible around the world, but the sunset eclipse on October 14, known as the “Ring of Fire,” will only be visible in the Americas.

While the meeting of the Moon and Venus in the night sky is a spectacular display, the conjunction is fairly regular—occurring approximately every 19 months.

The moon will visit the constellations Cancer, Leo, and Virgo from today until October 15.

But it will sit next to Venus early Tuesday as both objects appear above the horizon for several hours.

The constellation Leo will host the duo, and its bright star Regulus will be shining between the planet and the lunar crescent.

The Moon is close to its average distance from Earth, which is 238,855 miles, while Venus is located approximately three-quarters of the distance from the Sun.

Venus, the hottest planet in the solar system and the second closest to our star, is about 280 times farther away from the moon.

On Wednesday, the moon will only be 10% illuminated, appearing as a slimmer crescent.

The October 14 annular solar eclipse will begin at 12:13 PM ET in Oregon and end three hours later in Texas.

However, one of the biggest cosmic displays is set to take place on Saturday, when the Moon passes between Earth, for the first time in 11 years.

The annular solar eclipse will begin at 12:13 p.m. Eastern time in Oregon and end three hours later in Texas.

Only eight states will be in the path of the eclipse: Oregon, California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico and Texas.

The annular eclipse also extends to Mexico, Central America, and South America.

While other eclipses see the Moon temporarily completely blocking the sunlight, the Moon is very far from Earth in an annular eclipse.

This means that it is perfectly placed to allow a ring of light or ‘fire’ to penetrate – to a stunning effect.
