Sky And Telescope:
For eight nights beginning June 27th, these two bright planets will be within 2° of each other — close enough to cover both with the thumb of an outstretched hand. In the midst of that weeklong run, on June 30th, Venus and Jupiter will appear so close together — just 1/3° apart — that they’ll look like a tight, brilliant double star in the evening sky. You’ll be able to cover both with the tip of an outstretched pinky finger.Some theorize that the period of recent convergences resembles a similar series in 3-2 BC that has been suggested as the Star of Bethlehem.]]>
