From today (1st September) till another one-and-a-half months, we can see the planets Mars & Saturn located near the moon.
The moon takes 365.2 days to complete its orbit around the Sun.
Immediately after the sunset today, the planets Mars & Saturn can be seen very near the Moon. This can be seen during the next 45 days.
This happens once in every 18 months. This even can now be seen from Tamil Nadu.
Sometimes, the planets Jupiter (Viyazhan in Tamil), Mars (Sevvai), Mercury (Budhan), and Saturn (Sani) can also be located near the moon.
