Astronomy lovers, be sure to look up into the western sky Wednesday after sunset for a chance to see Venus and Jupiter close to each other in the sky.
Venus, the moon, Mars and Jupiter are all visible in the eastern sky above Lake Michigan before sunrise June 23, 2022, in Chicago. Their illuminations form a diagonal line from lower left to upper right. On March 1, Jupiter and Venus will appear close together in the western sky.
The phenomenon is known as a conjunction, which is when astronomical objects seem to be near each other based on how we see them from Earth. These two planets appear in conjunction about once every year, but the instance March 1 is expected to be especially good because of how bright the planets will be, how close they’ll be in the sky and the fact that they will be visible without the Sun’s glare interfering.
Adler’s director of public observing Michelle Nichols and astronomy educator Hunter Miller will be hosting an episode of the planetarium’s YouTube series at 6 p.m. Wednesday to give tips about how to see the two planets. If the weather is good, they’ll also show a live telescope view.If you’re looking for an enhanced viewing experience in person, the Adler plans to have small telescopes available for the public, weather permitting, beginning at 6 p.m. Wednesday. Be sure to reserve your tickets online in advance at

Venus’ Outer Shell is Thinner and “Squishier” Than Previously BelievedWhile Earth and Venus are approximately the same size and both lose heat at about the same rate, the internal mechanisms that drive Earth’s geologic processes differ from its neighbor. It is these Venusian geologic processes that a team of researchers led by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and the California Institute of Technology hope … Continue reading 'Venus’ Outer Shell is Thinner and “Squishier” Than Previously Believed'
