Jupiter and Venus from Earth
Explanation: It was visible around the world. The sunset conjunction of Jupiter and Venus in 2012 was visible almost
no matter where you lived on Earth. Anyone on the planet with a clear western horizon at sunset could see them. Pictured here in 2012, a creative photographer traveled away from the town lights of
Szubin,
Poland to image a near closest approach of the
two planets. The
bright planets were then separated only by
three degrees and his daughter struck a
humorous pose. A faint
red sunset still glowed in the background. Jupiter and Venus are
together again this month after sunset,
passing within a degree of each other about a week ago.
