Get ready for a spectacular sight tonight (June 9), as Jupiter and Venus make a close approach in the evening sky, while Mercury shines close to the western horizon in the glow of the setting sun.<\/p>\n

Stargazers in the U.S. will see the bright light of Venus<\/u><\/a> glowing less than 20 degrees above the horizon at sunset \u2014 roughly the width of two clenched fists held at arm’s length \u2014 with Jupiter<\/u><\/a> to its lower left. Mercury<\/u><\/a>, meanwhile, is more challenging to spot, as it shines approximately 10 degrees below and to the lower right of the pair, requiring a clear view to the west.<\/p>\n
