Details:
When two asters are approaching prospectively
in the sky, we speak of conjunction;
but when in a conjunction
the two asters are almost touching,it is said "appulso", from the Latin "approach."
And this tonight it was one
of the most fascinating approaching I have ever seen!
Protagonists were a thin crescent Moon on the 27th day
and Aldebaran, one of the brightest stars in the sky
who are meeting in the light of dawn
and, as two blushing lovers are very slowly
approach and then brushing against almost to touch!
It was the night in this case to make visible
what the day could hide!
After closest approach, in fact they have slowly moved away until to disappear more and more from human view
when the veil of the day covered their light.
