APOD 4.1

Jupiter and Venus from Earth (March 18, 2012)
Taken in Szubin, Poland, this is a photograph of the planets Jupiter and Venus in conjunction with one another.  A couple of weeks ago, this proximity was able to be observed all over the world.  Jupiter has now sunken below the brighter Venus, and Mars is also able to be seen if one looks higher in the sky.  Another conjunction between Venus and Jupiter will occur next May.
