Mercury–Venus conjunction, 25 July 2031

Mercury and Venus come closest together in the sky on 25 July 2031 around 17:34 UTC, at an apparent separation of 1.6° (about 3.0 Moon diameters). They stand at least 23° from the Sun, so they are not lost in its glare.

Visibility from Hungary (calculated for Budapest): the best moment to observe is 25 July 2031, 20:49 CEST: the target stands 2° high in the 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 (25 July 2031) 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).
