| Pairing of Venus and Jupiter [ Photo: 2012 Sky and Telescope ] |
You may be able to see Jupiter and Venus in the sky very close to each other and reach to their closest point in the coming days.
Despite being vastly far from one another in space, the conjunction will make them appear just a few degrees apart in the sky - about the width of a pair of fingers held at arm's length.
The pair can be seen to the west-southwest, shortly after sunset.
Venus is the brighter of the two, and Jupiter will appear to move in a line past it for the rest of the month.
Another anticipated planetary event for 2012 will be the transit of Venus in early June, when it will appear from some locations on Earth to pass in front of the Sun.
