See Jupiter And Venus ‘Kiss’ After Sunset As The Planets Align: The Night Sky This Week

By

This week the night sky is home to a rare apparent celestial "kiss" between the giant planet Jupiter and super-bright Venus. The two brightest planets of all will tangle in the post-sunset western sky this week, gradually getting closer before an apparent closest pass on Wednesday.

The week's conjunction begins in earnest tonight after sunset in the west. This image—and all images below for subsequent evenings—shows your last chance on that day to see the conjunction, around an hour after sunset.

The brightest planets coming together: How to spot Venus & Jupiter

All month long, the two brightest planets in the sky, Jupiter and Venus, have been hanging out every evening in the western sky. The two planets have continued to get closer to each other over the last few weeks, culminating in a close conjunction on March 1 (see below).

You can also see Mars high in the southern, Southwestern sky after sunset. On Monday, Mars and the Moon will appear less than a degree apart, however it will be way too cloudy to see that pairing in Northeast Ohio.

Brightest planets Jupiter and Venus to convene in south-west sky | Planets | The Guardian

While you are watching the planets, keep an eye open for the way the other stars come out across the sky – it really does feel like the heavens are blossoming around you.

The conjunction is visible around the world. In Cape Town, South Africa, and Sydney, Australia, the pair will be clearly visible at about 8pm local time. As March proceeds, the two planets will separate.

Locate planets via clock-face visualization | MyRGV.com

I s anyone interested in the star lore of the first people in our hemisphere? There are some wonderful tales related to astronomy across all the cultures of the world. Access to internet sites has provided some beautiful interpretations of star groups and their stories.

It has been a while since we tried the clock-face location of the visible planets. I hope you have taken advantage of clear nights to walk out and look up and scribe the arc of Mars near the zenith and across towards the west to see Venus and Jupiter.

SANTA CRUZ, CALIFORNIA "Dad, did you ever imagine that your formula would become so famous?" I ask the kind-eyed, 91-year-old person next to me on the patio. My dad, Frank Drake, is quiet for a moment. Perhaps he's thinking back to the November day 60 years ago when he unceremoniously drafted a formula that went on to shape humankind's hunt for extraterrestrial civilizations.

UFO Hunting, With Harvard Data: Astrophysicist Advocates For Scientific Investigation

Avi Loeb: Two things. In 2017, there was an object — the first one that was identified from outside the solar system that arrived close to Earth — and it didn't look like anything we've seen before. It didn't look like a comet, it didn't behave like an asteroid. Loeb: Yes. And I thought maybe it's artificial in origin. And, in fact, I wrote a book about it, Extraterrestrial, that was published six months ago. And then a month ago, there was a report delivered to Congress saying: there are things in the sky above the U.S. whose nature is not identified.
