Venus–Jupiter conjunction, 7 September 2029

Venus and Jupiter come closest together in the sky on 7 September 2029 around 12:44 UTC, at an apparent separation of 1.7° (about 3.3 Moon diameters). They stand at least 41° from the Sun, so they are not lost in its glare.

Visibility from Hungary (calculated for Budapest): the best moment to observe is 7 September 2029, 19:44 CEST: the target stands 7° high in the south-west, in twilight, the sky is not fully dark yet. 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 (7 September 2029) 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).
