Venus–Jupiter conjunction, 9 June 2026

Venus and Jupiter come closest together in the sky on 9 June 2026 around 19:57 UTC, at an apparent separation of 1.6° (about 3.1 Moon diameters). They stand at least 37° from the Sun, so they are not lost in its glare.

Visibility from Hungary (calculated for Budapest): the best moment to observe is 9 June 2026, 22:27 CEST: the target stands 6° high in the north-west, under a dark sky. The calculation is for Budapest; elsewhere in the country rise and set times differ by only a few minutes.

In the page's interactive 3D model the time machine jumps to this moment (9 June 2026) and the camera takes the view that fits the event: a sky view from the visitor's city or Budapest. You can freely scrub time forwards and backwards.

Planet positions come from our own approximate calculation (about 0.1-1° accuracy, times within a few hours).
