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
above 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 separated only by
three degrees and his daughter striking a
humorous pose.
A faint red sunset still glowed in the background.
Jupiter and Venus will be
at it again this week before sunrise, passing
under
two degree from each other -- and even with bonus planet Mars nearby.
