♃ ♀

This past Wednesday, Jupiter and Venus reached their closest point in the sky, an event known by astonomers as planetary conjunction. The two planets pierced the sky, even through the light polluted New York City skyline. Venus is 1/12th the size of Jupiter, yet it appears brighter since it is much nearer to Earth.
