For eight nights beginning June 27th, these two bright planets will be within 2° of each other — close enough to cover both with the thumb of an outstretched hand.

Sky & Telescope senior editor Alan MacRobert points out, a spectacular conjunction like this often gets people started in our wonderful pastime. "These planetary groupings in the sky have no effect on Earth or human affairs — except for one," he says. "They can lift our attention away from our own little world into the enormous things beyond. That's what amateur astronomers do all the time."

The two brightest planets are gliding closer together in the early evening sky, and their celestial dance culminates with an ultra-close pairing on June 30th.

Starlight Explorers hope to watch the Lunar Eclipse today evening from Tranquility Base at Prestige Shantiniketan.

Lunar Eclipses occur when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon and blocks the Sun's rays. A Total Lunar Eclipse is sometimes called Blood Moon.
