Spectacular Venus–Jupiter “Cosmic Kiss” Dazzles Early Morning Skies (Don’t Miss It!)

The Venus–Jupiter conjunction occurs August 11–13, 2025, with its closest approach on August 12 at about 0.86° apart. Venus will shine around magnitude -4.0 and Jupiter around -1.8 to -2 during the pairing. The pair sits about 35° from the Sun, enabling viewing in a dark dawn sky. Observers should view about 45 minutes to an hour before sunrise, when the planets are 5–10° above the horizon and will rise to 15–20° as dawn progresses. In the dawn sky, Venus appears lower and brighter, with Jupiter above, forming a striking naked-eye close pair. With binoculars or a telescope, both planets
