Serial Planetary Events appear one after another. This time, the brightest planets are grouped!

A conjunction happens when two celestial bodies have the same right ascension or ecliptic longitude, and the celestial bodies involved can be the Sun, Moon, planets, or stars. In the case of a conjunction between planets, or between a planet and the Moon, the two celestial bodies are in close proximity to each other in the sky.

To see "Venus-Jupiter Conjunction", simply look up to the eastern sky on 1 May before dawn (approximately 4:30-5:30 am), and Venus and Jupiter will be separated by about 14 arcminutes apart. To the naked eye, Venus will be juxtaposed south of Jupiter. At that time, the apparent magnitude of Venus will be -4.1, while Jupiter will be -2.1. Venus will be brighter than Jupiter and the former looks white, making it easy to tell. The two stars seem to be connected, but they can be told apart with the aid of a telescope.

If you miss this opportunity, the next Venus-Jupiter Conjunction with the duo being more than twice apart, will take place on 2 March 2023.
