Quickly, on the run, I managed to take some photos of the conjunction. Clouds covered the scene shortly after. We followed the two planets since February. Not even once our efforts matched the Sky setup but we are still satisfied. We are also pleased to see so many good pictures being taken all around the world!

Venus and Jupiter Conjunction in Puerto Rico
I was able to photograph both worlds surrounded by mangoes during twilight from my hometown of Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico on June 30, 2015. The pair were just .3 degrees apart and the sky was so clear that they shined through rather nicely. I photographed them near the mangoes to show that this event was a real "Tropical Delight".

Venus-Jupiter Conjunction from the Philippines
Tonight will be the closest planetary pairing between Jupiter and Venus (0.3 degrees apart) after a very long period. This conjunction of the two planets is believed as one of the likeliest candidates for the 'Star of Bethlehem'.

I have planned to document their displacement in the night sky however cloudy skies have been dominant as of late. Uploaded are my images taken as of last night (June 30). Read More...
