Moon–Venus Conjunction
14 Sept 2026, 15:41 local · 14 Sep 2026 10:11 UTC
Moon and Venus pass close together on the sky, separated by roughly 0.7 degrees at closest approach. They are not physically near each other — this is a line-of-sight alignment — but the pairing is striking to the unaided eye and easily fits in a single binocular field.
At the exact peak the sky is still bright, but the object is 4° high in darkness nearby.

Fact of the day
One sourced astronomy fact, explained plainly.
Voyager 1 is the most distant human-made object, now in interstellar space.
Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 crossed the heliopause — the boundary where the solar wind gives way to the interstellar medium — in August 2012.
