Venus and Jupiter on the Horizon

Explanation: What are those two bright objects on the horizon? Venus and Jupiter. The two brightest planets in the night sky passed very close together -- angularly -- just two days ago. In real space, they were just about as far apart as usual, since Jupiter (on the right) orbits the Sun around seven times farther out than Venus. The planetary duo were captured together two days ago in a picturesque sunset sky from Llers, Catalonia, Spain between a tree and the astrophotographer's daughter. These two planets will continue to stand out in the evening sky, toward the west, for the next few days, with a sliver of a crescent Moon and a fainter Saturn also visible nearby. As November ends, Jupiter will sink lower into thesunset horizon with each subsequent night, while Venus will rise higher. The next Jupiter-Venus conjunction will occur in early 2021.

地平線附近的金星和木星

地平線附近的兩個亮點(diǎn)是什么？答案是金星和木星。兩天前，這兩顆我們最熟悉的行星在夜空中的角距離很近。雖然在真實(shí)空間中，它們和平常一樣遙遠(yuǎn)，這是因?yàn)槟拘牵ㄓ覀?cè)）繞太陽運(yùn)行的軌道比金星遠(yuǎn)上7倍。在西班牙的加泰羅尼亞，攝影師在美麗的日落拍攝了這對行星組合的照片。這兩顆行星正好位于一顆大樹和攝影師的女兒之間。在未來的幾天中，這兩顆行星依然會在西方的夜空中醒目。此外，附近還能看到一縷新月和黯淡的土星。隨著十一月的結(jié)束，之后的每個夜晚之前木星都會在日落的時(shí)候下沉到地平線之下，而金星依然高懸在夜空之中。下一次金星合木星將會發(fā)生在2021年初。
