Don't miss Jupiter and Venus meet in a dazzling conjunction on June 9: Here's where and when to look
Don't miss Jupiter and Venus meet in a dazzling conjunction on June 9: Here's where and when to look Jupiter and Venus meet in the western sky on June 9 — here's how to see it. Get ready for a spectacular sight on June 9, as Jupiter and Venus make a close approach in the evening sky, while Mercury shines close to the western horizon in the glow of the setting sun. Stargazers in the U.S. will see the bright light of Venus glowing less than 20 degrees above the horizon at sunset — roughly the...
Venus and Jupiter are about to almost touch in the sky in one of 2026's best skywatching events
Venus and Jupiter are about to almost touch in the sky in one of 2026's best skywatching events A close conjunction of the two brightest planets in the night sky will take place over several evenings, with the best time to look being June 9-11. In one of 2026's skywatching highlights, the two brightest planets in the night sky will appear very close to each other for a string of several evenings. This conjunction of Venus and Jupiter will occur in the western sky during twilight and be...
Jupiter bow shock reveals electrons accelerating to relativistic speeds
Jupiter bow shock reveals electrons accelerating to relativistic speeds Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Electrons around Jupiter have been caught in the process of being accelerated, revealing a potentially unified mechanism for particle acceleration. The findings, published in Nature, may help constrain how energetic particles are produced throughout the universe. Shocks are disturbances created by a perturber/object/fluid moving through a fluid faster than the...

Strange winds on seven hot Jupiters reveal strongest signs yet of exoplanet magnetic activity
Strange winds on seven hot Jupiters reveal strongest signs yet of exoplanet magnetic activity Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor A team of astronomers has found the strongest evidence yet that some planets outside our solar system may be magnetic. Using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (ESO's VLT) and the Gemini North telescope, the researchers measured wind speeds on seven very hot, Jupiter-like exoplanets. The observations reveal that the...
How Jupiter may have redirected life's ingredients toward Earth 4.5 billion years ago
How Jupiter may have redirected life's ingredients toward Earth 4.5 billion years ago Robert Egan Associate Editor NASA-supported scientists have provided new information about how the early Earth may have acquired some elements necessary for the planet to become habitable. They also suggest a new role for Jupiter in the distribution of these elements throughout the young solar system. The study, published in Science Advances, examines this history by looking at the ratio of phosphorus to...
Why do Venus and Jupiter meet up in the sky so often? It's a symptom of a solar system that supports life on Earth
Why do Venus and Jupiter meet up in the sky so often? It's a symptom of a solar system that supports life on Earth "Orbital dynamics allows you to start to think about all those fun, different aspects of what makes our planet habitable, and ask how normal it is to have a habitable planet." Shortly after sunset on June 9, Venus and Jupiter will look very close together, in what is known as a planetary conjunction.
Image: Colorful, chaotic Jupiter
Image: Colorful, chaotic Jupiter Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor NASA's Juno spacecraft captured this color-enhanced view of Jupiter's northern hemisphere during its 61st close flyby of the giant planet on May 12, 2024. Citizen scientist Gary Eason made this image using raw data from the JunoCam instrument, applying digital processing techniques to enhance color and clarity. It provides a detailed view of chaotic clouds and cyclonic storms in an area known to scientists...
Venus, Jupiter and Mercury headline a stunning planet parade through June. Here's when to see it
Venus, Jupiter and Mercury headline a stunning planet parade through June. Here's when to see it The June evening sky this year is exceptionally interesting. A spectacular gathering of three planets, two bright stars, plus, later this month, a slender crescent moon, will be the chief celestial attraction in the evening sky during the next few weeks.
Venus & Jupiter conjunction: Dates when Mercury will also be visible
Skywatchers will have an opportunity to observe Venus and Jupiter appearing unusually close together in the evening sky this month. According to NASA, these two planets are set to reach their closest apparent approach on June 9. The event will also coincide with Mercury's visibility, leading to a three-planet alignment often dubbed a "planet parade.
