The Paul McCartney Project. “Venus and Mars/Rock Show” is a medley of two songs written by Paul and Linda McCartney and originally performed by Wings that make up the first two songs of the album Venus and Mars.
On Monday, July 12, Venus and Mars will both be 28 degrees east of the sun. Mars will be 74% further from earth than Venus, and 230% further from the sun than Venus. Together with Mars’s smaller size and lower reflectivity that means the Red Planet will appear over 200 times fainter than the brilliant Venus (the “Evening Star”).
To see them, look to the west-northwest starting around 9:45 p.m.
Venus should be readily visible against the twilight. As the sky darkens, look to the lower left of Venus for dimmer, ruddy Mars. When it comes into view, less than half a degree (the width of a pencil at arm’s length) will separate the two., with a thin crescent moon to the upper left. By 10:50 p.m. both planets will have set
