Explanation:
Have you seen the passing planets yet?
Today the planets Jupiter and Venus pass within half a degree of each other
as
seen from Earth.
This conjunction, visible all over the world, is
quite easy to see --
just
look
to the west shortly after sunset.
The brightest objects visible above the horizon will
be
Venus and Jupiter, with Venus being the brighter of the
two.
Featured above,
the closing planets were captured two nights ago in a sunset sky
graced also by high-level
noctilucent clouds.
In the foreground, the astrophotographer's sister takes in the vista from a bank
of the
Sec Reservoir in the
Czech Republic.
She reported this as the first time she has seen
noctilucent clouds.
Jupiter
and Venus will appear even closer
together tonight and will continue to be visible in the same part of the sky until
mid-August.
Tonight:
See Venus & Jupiter together
after sunset
