Moon and Venus pass close together on the sky, separated by roughly 3.7 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.

Photography & observing tips

  • Both objects fit comfortably in a single binocular field, and often in a telescope's low-power field.
  • Wide-angle shots that include foreground landscape make the pairing far more striking.
  • Twilight conjunctions photograph beautifully — expose for the sky, not the planets.
