Venus and Jupiter align in brilliant naked-eye celestial event

Skywatchers can anticipate a notable celestial event this week as Venus and Jupiter align closely after sunset, creating a brilliant pairing visible to the naked eye. This conjunction, occurring between June 8-14, 2026, will also feature Mercury nearby, offering a chance to see three planets together. The waning moon will contribute to darker skies, providing an optimal window for observation before the summer solstice complicates stargazing in the Northern Hemisphere. AI
