Venus and Jupiter conjunction

BEST TIME TO SEE: Venus-Saturn on 6 February; Venus-Jupiter on 11 February

Jupiter and Saturn are slowly emerging into the morning sky, having reached conjunction with the Sun on 23 and 29 January respectively. Dazzling Venus has been visible in the morning sky since June 2020. This month there will be two close and somewhat challenging conjunctions between Venus, Jupiter and Saturn.

It’s Saturn’s turn first, Venus and Saturn appearing just 23 arcminutes apart on the morning of 6 February. Jupiter’s close encounter follows on the 11th, when both planets are 31.5 arcminutes
