Details:
Last night, the planets were lined up in the sky, all behind the moon, but on the path of the zodiac and of course, by observing social distance!
It is interesting to know that this is their apparent distance in the earth's sky. But in fact, the moon is about 384,000 km away from us, Mars is about 54 million km away, Saturn is about 1.5 billion km, and Jupiter is 757 million km away. But as I said, they are placed side by side in the sky from the viewer's point of view on Earth, and each one has a different luminosity depending on its size and distance.
This image is taken near Howz e Soltan Lake in the south of Tehran in cloudy spring weather.
