Jupiter and Venus conjunction 2023

On March 1st and 2nd, 2023, Venus and Jupiter will align in a spectacular conjunction: an astronomical event where the two brightest planets in Earth's night sky will be separated by merely half-a-degree (or about half the width of your pinkie finger's nail when you hold it at arm's length). This photo was taken with tripod for the shortest possible time so that the shift of the night sky cannot be seen.
