Jupiter and Venus are getting close to each other and will set up a show in the sky by June-end. NASA said the conjunction is underway and will culminate in a spectacular display on June 30. When two or more objects appear very close together in the sky, researchers call it a conjunction.

Venus and Jupiter will appear in the sky just a third of a degree apart on the evening of June 30. "That's less than the diameter of a full Moon. You'll be able to hide the pair not just behind the palm of your outstretched hand, but behind your little pinky finger", said NASA.

The conjunction could be seen with naked eye, but a telescope or binoculars give you the best view of the spectacle in the sky. Both the planets will appear almost of the same size, but Jupiter is much larger in reality. According to Pat Hartigan, an astronomer at Rice University, the conjunction on June 30 is going to be the best seen in more than a decade.

Hartigan suggests to look to west-northwest to see Jupiter and Venus merging into a dazzling super-star.

Venus is about to pass between the sun and Earth and is setting to sweep some 8 degrees south of the sun on August 15. Both Venus and Jupiter appear bright in the sky because their cloud cover reflects sunlight.
