Venus-Jupiter Conjunction | June 9, 202

On the evening of June 9, 2026, I observed a conjunction between Venus and Jupiter above the western horizon from Dubai, UAE.

The apparent separation between the two planets was approximately one and a half degrees, making them appear remarkably close together in the sky despite being separated by hundreds of millions of kilometers in space.

The images also show several bright stars in the constellation Gemini, along with Mercury near the bottom of the image.
