Moon Jupiter Conjunction

A daylight photo shows the Moon and Jupiter planet in conjunction seen from L’Aquila, Italy, on December 22, 2023. On December 22, 2023, the Moon and Jupiter appear to be very close together in the night sky. The two objects will be about 2.6 degrees apart. The Moon is a waxing crescent, and Jupiter is the brightest object in the sky. The Moon is our nearest neighbor, and Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system.
