Jupiter and Venus

On 06/10/2026 10:23 pm by Asha Prasad | Minnesota, USA

Wide angle shot of the western sky as Jupiter, Venus and Mercury descended towards the horizon. we had a forecast of thunderstorm starting June 11th. So, this would be the last time I could photograph the planets close to each other in a cloudless sky. I have labeled the stars visible from the surrounding constellations. The blip seen below Jupiter is a plane.
