Jupiter and Venus Will Meet in the Sky This Week

The two brightest planets will meet on June 8 and 9.

You may see two bright 'stars' in the west after sunset. These are Jupiter and Venus. They will meet soon.

Jupiter and Venus will look close, but they are very far apart.

Venus has been rising in the sky since May. Jupiter has been moving down.

You can find them in the west after sunset. Venus will be brighter and lower.

This event shows that space is not static.

These planets are easy to see with the naked eye, says Professor Paul Delaney.

They show the movement of objects in the solar system.

Venus will pass Jupiter and appear higher.

You can see them close on June 8 and 9.

These meetings are called conjunctions.

You can track them as they move across the sky.

You just need a good view of the western sky.

Mercury will join them on June 8 and 9.

Planetary meetings happen each year, but some are closer than others.

Jupiter and Venus meet almost every three years.

You can watch Jupiter's moons change position.

Jupiter's four brightest moons orbit quickly.

On June 1, Io, Callisto, and Europa were on the left side of Jupiter.

The next night, they changed positions.
