When JUPITER (top in the Photo), King of Planets, named after the king of Gods Zues met VENUS (the brightest below), named after the Goddess of Love & Beauty… One of the rare conjunctions…. Though they appear to look close they are NOT close together in space. At the time this photo was taken VENUS was app. 77.6 Million KM from Earth & JUPITER 908 Million KM from earth ! The angular separation between the two planets was so small that the tip of the little finger at arm’s length easily covered it.
