On June 9, stargazers can witness a remarkable conjunction of Jupiter and Venus, as they approach each other in the evening sky. Observers in the U.S. will find Venus shining brightly about 20 degrees above the horizon at sunset, with Jupiter located to its lower left. The two planets will be close enough—less than 2 degrees apart—to be viewed simultaneously through a pair of 10x50 binoculars. Additionally, Jupiter's four Galilean moons—Io, Europa, Callisto, and Ganymede—may also be visible as tiny points of light surrounding the gas giant. Mercury will be a more challenging sight, appearing around 10 degrees below and to the right of the conjunction. Following this event, Venus will continue to rise above Jupiter, moving towards the constellation Cancer, where it will align with the Beehive Cluster on June 20. After June 9, Jupiter will gradually become harder to spot, disappearing from view until mid-August when it re-emerges in the eastern morning sky.
