Venus and Jupiter to 'kiss' in rare celestial alignment

Astronomers are anticipating a close conjunction of Venus and Jupiter in the night sky, appearing only 1.6 degrees apart shortly after sunset. This celestial event, visible for a couple of hours, offers a rare naked-eye view of the two brightest planets. While they will seem close, they are millions of miles apart, with their apparent proximity being a trick of perspective. Additionally, skywatchers can look forward to the predicted eruption of the recurrent nova T Coronae Borealis, also known as the 'Blaze Star,' expected around June 2026 or February 2027, which will dramatically brighten and become visible to the naked eye.
