A glorious conjunction between the two brightest planets in our night sky occurs Tuesday evening, June 30th.
Right after the sun sets at 8:26pm, head outside and look west. Just above the horizon, you’ll see a bright object in the night sky as Jupiter and Venus come within 1/3 of a degree of each other.
Some are calling this “The Star of Bethlehem” conjunction because Jupiter and Venus did something similar near the star Regulus in 3/2BC. Many astronomers have speculated that this ancient celestial event is the one recorded in the Bible’s Gospel of Matthew.
