这两个亮点是什么?行星。几天前,夜空中最亮的两颗行星以一度的距离擦肩而过,这就是所谓的合相。在世界上的大部分地区,太阳落山后都能看到这两个亮点:木星(左)和金星(右)。这张特色图片是在意大利西西里岛的西里察拍摄的。一周前,金星在夕阳西下的天空中上升得更高,与下落的木星相遇。现在他们互换了位置。当然,金星离太阳和地球都比木星近得多——在地球的天空中,行星之间的明显距离只是角度上的。你仍然可以在这个月日落后的一个小时左右看到这对流行的双星,尽管它们继续分开,木星继续每天晚上提早落山。木星与金星合相画廊:向APOD提交的值得注意的作品

What are those two bright spots? Planets. A few days ago, the two brightest planets in the night sky passed within a single degree of each other in what is termed a conjunction. Visible just after sunset in much of the world, the two bright spots were Jupiter (left) and Venus (right). The featured image was taken near closest approach from Cirica, Sicily, Italy. The week before, Venus was rising higher in the sunset sky to meet the dropping Jupiter. Now they have switched places. Of course, Venus remains much closer to both the Sun and the Earth than Jupiter -- the apparent closeness between the planets in the sky of Earth was only angular. You can still see the popular pair for an hour or so after sunset this month although they continue to separate, and Jupiter continues to set earlier each night.
