Jupiter and Venus have been progressively converging in the night sky during the month of June. On Tuesday, both the planets will appear so close that they almost look that they are colliding.

NASA has described it as a 'jaw-dropping close encounter'. Venus can be seen in daylight as it's the brightest thing in the sky after the sun and moon.

In order to witness the phenomenon the space enthusiasts must grab a telescope to look west just as the Sun goes down.

Although the planets will be more than 800 million kilometers apart, they will just look closer because they are in their orbits around the Sun. On June 30, when Jupiter and Venus are so close, people will be able to block them both out with an outstretched little finger.

The planets would appear as they are forming a triangle with the crescent Moon as the third point.

Through a telescope, the fat crescent phase of Venus, Jupiter's moons and details on the surface of our own Moon can be seen. People can also look for the stunning Northern Lights which are a result of the solar storm that occurred Monday afternoon.
