On the evening of February 19, plan nothing else: in our sky, the spectacle of a 'kiss' between Moon and Saturn returns. This phenomenon isn't very rare, but it's always fascinating. In good weather, it can even be seen with the naked eye, although we recommend using at least good binoculars to better admire the details. Not to be missed!

As the UAI explains, on the evening of February 19, among the colors of twilight, we can see the narrow crescent of the waxing Moon close to Saturn, in the constellation Pisces. Lower down, on the western horizon, Mercury and Venus are also visible (the chart shows February 19, 2026 sky at around 7 p.m.).

The sky is preparing for the great planet parade expected just before the end of the month. This may not be an actual alignment, but it's still a phenomenon not to be missed either way.

Have fun watching!
