Tomorrow morning Mon 2014-08-18, the two brightest planets, Jupiter and Venus, will be about 1/3 of a degree apart. That’s 20 arc minutes. This is extremely “close” on the sky for two planets and will be a spectacular sight to see.

Not only will they be close together but they will also be near M44 the Beehive Cluster open cluster of stars.
