这是给孩子们看的天空。本月初,夜空中最亮的两颗行星,木星和金星,似乎会聚在一起。在距离最近的时候,这两颗行星之间的距离只有满月的角宽。这一奇观发生在日落之后,地球上所有的人都看到并拍摄了这一奇观。展示的这张照片是在离地球最近的时候从德国威尔廷根拍摄的,照片上是这位天文摄影师、他的配偶和他们的两个孩子。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。木星和金星已经过去,现在看起来越来越远。类似的行星汇聚机会最终会出现。例如,几个月后,火星和金星将在太阳落山时聚集在一起。木星与金星合相画廊:向APOD提交的值得注意的作品

This was a sky to show the kids. Early this month the two brightest planets in the night sky, Jupiter and Venus, appeared to converge. At their closest, the two planets were separated by only about the angular width of the full moon. The spectacle occurred just after sunset and was seen and photographed all across planet Earth. The displayed image was taken near to the time of closest approach from Wiltingen, Germany, and features the astrophotographer, spouse, and their two children. 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. Jupiter and Venus have passed and now appear increasingly far apart. Similar planetary convergence opportunities will eventually arise. In a few months, for example, Mars and Venus will appear to congregate just as the Sun sets. Jupiter & Venus Conjunction Gallery: Notable Submissions to APOD
