Jupiter and Venus Will Appear Close Together in the Sky

Jupiter and Venus will look close in the night sky. People may see them near each other. This is called a “planetary conjunction.” It happens when two planets seem to move toward the same spot from Earth. The planets will not touch. But they will look like they are sharing a “cosmic kiss.” Sky watchers can try to look after sunset. A clear sky helps. If you live in a city, find a darker place. You can use binoculars or a small telescope.
