See it on NASA's siteA few days ago, the two brightest planets in our night sky, Jupiter and Venus, passed within a single degree of each other. This conjunction was visible just after sunset in much of the world. This image, taken from Cirica, Sicily, Italy, shows Jupiter on the left and Venus on the right. They have now switched places in the sky, with Venus rising higher to meet the dropping Jupiter.
