The planets are passing from our perspeeeective.
Howdy star gazers -- Trace here.
Sometimes planets appear to pass close to each other in the sky -- that s called a conjunction!
Conjunctions can happen with any natural nearby object!
This week Mercury and Venus are in conjunction and next week the Moon is gonna zoom past both Saturn and Jupiter.
Let s hit the skies and show you how to find them!
First follow the sun below the horizon and look for Venus, every night this week V will get closer to Mercury.
Merc will be tough to see but on Friday the two will be less than a pinky-width apart!
Then on May 30, the moon will approach Saturn and Jupiter in the South East coming within a fist-width of gas giant Jupiter on June first.
The sky might seem static, but it s constantly moving.
Don t miss it!
Keep lookin up.
