Jupiter and Venus meet up tonight! This brilliant duo are only 1 1/2 degrees apart, but their distances are drastically different. Our sister planet is 110 miles away from us and the king of planets is 560 million miles away. The two brightest planets seen from Earth appear very bright due to Jupiter’s tremendous size and Venus’s thick atmosphere which is highly reflective. 

This will be the best view til 2028 - so enjoy it now!
