SKY EVENT · Planetary conjunction

Venus–Jupiter conjunction, 10 November 2028

Venus and Jupiter come closest together in the sky on 10 November 2028 around 01:44 UTC, at an apparent separation of 0.6° (about 1.2 Moon diameters). They stand at least 32° from the Sun, so they are not lost in its glare.

Visibility from Hungary (calculated for Budapest): the best moment to observe is 10 November 2028, 05:29 CET: the target stands 16° high in the south-east, 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 (10 November 2028) 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).
