Last week Venus and Jupiter were both visible in sunset conjunction to anyone in the world. If you had a clear western horizon you could see them. This week they are both still noticable but Jupiter has sunk below the brighter Venus. In the picture above, taken in Poland, you see the close approach of the two planets taken a week ago. The bright planets were only separated by 3 degrees. A faint red sunset still appears to be glowing in the background. Another conjunction similar to this will occur in May.
