The #Jupiter #Venus #Mercury view from Regensburg 5 minutes later today, with the latter 4 1/2 degrees up - soon thereafter Mercury would be lost to extinction for the naked eye.

The #conjunction of #Jupiter and #Venus progressing: the situation on the evenings if the 1st and of the 5th of June. Four nights till closest approach!

Three #planets in the evening sky over #Regensburg, Germany, today, when the Sun was 9° below the horizon and #Mercury - in the lower right, above the crane - 5° above the horizon. At that time it was also an easy naked-eye object, joining the pair of #Jupiter and #Venus on the left. After some rain during the day the atmosphere was superbly clear!

Temporal Variations of Jupiter's Plasma Disk Observed by Juno: #Jupiter

The planets #Jupiter (left) and #Venus and the #Gemini stars Pollux and Castor above them this evening - with the Sun 10° below and 10° above the horizon - from Bochum, Germany: exactly two weeks before the planets are closest to each other. (In https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_w5MOP0yxo a one-hour documentary about this conjunction, from Austria.)

Turns out the #Jupiter apparition is swiftly coming to an end: from #Bochum I couldn't even see it naked-eye anymore this evening, while in this 'blind' photograph it is faintly visible in the lower right just where the haze begins. #Venus is now the only obvious planet in the evening.

Yeah, so I suck at #astrophotography when all I have is a handheld mobile phone camera. 🌙♀♃

So there, the closest approach of #Venus and #Jupiter on 9 June 2026 in very clear skies from Bochum, Germany - over a distant #lightning storn! Full sequence from the evening: https://www.facebook.com/dan.fischer.393/posts/pfbid023dN778vSp7WVW2489woRWpzHRB8VrYPj8ApfqKMfbe1NLNNozbcUxFUWcx57MvoRl

Inspired by a hot #AllSky7 frame - #Jupiter and #Venus out of the muck! Both pictures heavily boosted in contrast.

Manchmal hab' ich das Gefühl, dass alles zu viel wird und ich zu wenig tun kann. Dann hilft oft der Blick nach oben, weg von der Welt, rein in die schier unendliche Ferne.

The planets #Jupiter #Venus #Mercury (in the gap between trees in the lower right) again, on 7 June from the #Eschenberg in the #BavarianForest where a public observatory with a 1-meter (!) telescope is under construction: https://bayern.naturparke.de/2026/04/29/baustart-fuer-die-naturpark-sternwarte-bayerwald/ - the much smaller telescope here is pointed at Jupiter.
