Venus and Jupiter Close Conjunction on June 9: What to Expect

The two brightest planets in the sky will soon be near to one another, making it a treat for stargazers. When two planets appear near each other in the sky from Earth’s point of view, a conjunction takes place. Even if Venus and Jupiter seem to be next to each other, they will still be hundreds of millions of kilometers apart in space.

From Earth, the planets appear to occasionally congregate in the same region of the sky because they travel to the Sun on a comparable path called the ecliptic. Jupiter and Venus won’t be the show’s finale.

A unique mini parade of planets will be visibly low in the western sky from June 11 to June 15 as Mercury joins the pair. However, Mercury will be much closer to the horizon and may be challenging to observe without a clear western outlook.

What to Expect?

The distance between the two planets would only be 1.6 degrees or about the length of a finger at arm’s length. While the closest alignment occurs on June 9, they will appear incredibly close between June 7 and June 14. Soon after dusk, gaze toward the west or northwest horizon. Reports claim that Venus will be the brighter of the two, with Jupiter directly beside it.
