Jupiter and Venus create spectacle view as they appear extremely close, almost touch one another over the Dutch night sky, but they are 600 million km apart. The two planets set to pass each other in what's known as a conjunction phenomenon. Conjunctions between planets happen frequently as the celestial bodies orbit around the sun while at their closest they are expected to be just half a degree apart which is about the diameter of a full moon. After the moon, Jupiter and Venus are currently the brightest objects in the sky illuminating the European skyscape. Eindhoven, the Netherlands on March 2, 2023

Moon creating a lunar occultation of Saturn visible from Europe, Africa, western Russia, and eastern Greenland is seen through a telescope from Castelvecchio Calvisio (L’Aquila), Italy, on January 4th, 2025. Lunar occultations are relatively rare events where the Moon passes directly between Earth and another celestial object, temporarily obscuring it from view. This particular occultation offered a unique opportunity to observe the "ringed planet" disappearing behind the Moon and reemerging later.
