Venus and Jupiter getting closer

On 04/28/2026 09:30 pm by Marcy Curran | Website | Cheyenne, Wyoming

I am looking forward to the upcoming pairing of Venus and Jupiter in June. Venus is finally rising above the evening twilight so it’s visible on our all-sky camera. Tonight, April 28 Venus and Jupiter were 45 degrees apart at that time. I hope to catch them occasionally as they gradually move toward each other over the next few months. On June 7 and 8, they’ll be approximately 3 times the width of a full moon apart. Watch for future updates when I get some more shots of them.
