Explanation:
Venus and Jupiter appeared to glide right
past each other earlier this month.
In a slow day-by-day march,
Jupiter sank into the sunset horizon
while Venus remained high and bright.
The conjunction ended the
five-planet party
visible over the last two months.
Jupiter, of course,
is much further away from the
Earth and
Sun than
Venus, so the passing was really just an
angular illusion.
Pictured above on June 3, a fading sunset finds
Venus shining over Jupiter above clouds,
the Mourne mountains, and the city lights of
Belfast,
Northern Ireland.
