In den kommenden Tagen (bis nächste Woche) könnt ihr am Abendhimmel sehen, wie die Planeten Jupiter und Venus immer enger zusammenrücken / aneinander vorbeiziehen. Am 9. Juni stehen sie am engsten beieinander.

Wer einen freien Horizont hat, kann auch noch den sonnennächsten Planeten Merkur entdecken.

Hier sind vier Bilder, die die Planeten mit dem Programm Stellarium simuliert am Abendhimmel um 22:30 Uhr aus Hannoveraner Sicht zeigen.

Inspired by a hot #AllSky7 frame - https://allsky7.net/index.html?&station=AMS216#liveview - from the roof of a school a few kilometers away (I had once facilitated its installation) that seemed to show the evening planets I rushed onto our own roof just before 11 p.m. And against all odds managed to pick the closing pair of #Jupiter and #Venus out of the muck! Both pictures heavily boosted in contrast.
How to watch Jupiter and Venus as they join in the sky this week
You may have noticed two bright "stars" in the west after sunset. Those aren't stars but rather two planets: Jupiter and Venus. And they're on their way for a beautiful meet-up in the days ahead.
