How You Can Spot Venus Which Will Shine Brightly In India On April 28

Venus is only ranked after the Moon and the Sun, in terms of brightness. The “evening star” is even brighter than Sirius, which is the brightest star in the sky. These days, with the lockdown being implemented, resulting in no air pollution, it is actually quite easy to spot.

On April 28, 2020, Venus will shine the brightest in India. If you want to observe this spectacular event during self-isolation time, here are the dates and times that the evening star will shine bright like a diamond. Do note that the dates and times might change depending on time zones.

April 27: at 9 pm EST

April 28: at 1 am Universal Time

April 28 at 6.30 am IST

So according to these dates and times, you will be able to see Venus in all its glory at 6.30 am on April 28. During this time, the “evening star” will reach its greatest illuminated potential. Earth Sky says that the planet will be about three times brighter, compared to when it is faintest. The brightest moment of Venus will be when the planet’s illuminated portion covers the largest area of the sky’s dome.

There is no need for an app to be able to see Venus. After sunset, depending on your location, look to the west. And the shiniest natural object that you see on the sky will be Venus. And if the weather is clear, it will be hard to miss.
