Editor's note: Now is the best time to look for Jupiter and Venus in the evening sky, with their closest conjunction occuring on Tuesday (June 9) after sunset. You can see the two bright planets with the naked eye, but a good pair of stargazing binoculars will let you zoom in on both planets at once.
In one of 2026's skywatching highlights, the two brightest planets in the night sky will appear very close to each other for a string of several evenings.
