On July 12th, 2021, the three-day old Moon was close to the brightest “star” in the sky - planet Venus - as seen in the western sky, an astronomical phenomenon called conjunction. These events, including the Moon and bright planets, are quite common. If you zoom a lot into the photo, you may see the much dimmer planet Mars, just to the left and a little below Venus - I could not see it with the naked eye, due to its proximity to the much brighter Venus. Of course, these three worlds were very much separated in space - at the time of this conjunction, the Moon was about 387,000 Km away from the Earth, Venus was about 214 million Km and Mars about 372 million Km away. And a little above and to left of the Moon, the star named Regulus (The Lion’s heart) lies at 78 light years away or about 2 billion times further than the Moon! Better to stop these calculations…enjoy your summer!

This photo was taken 4 days before the great conjunction. On that day, the moon and the two planets could be in a single photo taken by using 500 mm lens (no trimming). It is clear that the apparent distance of the two planets was similar to the diameter of the moon; at the day of the great conjunction, the distance was diminished to about 1/4.
When you click once, you will see satellites of Jupiter. If twice, more clearly. In this photo the satellites were far from Saturn, while in the previous photo at the day of the great conjunction, the satellites were much closer to Saturn.
大接近の4日前の写真です。三日月を一緒に撮っていますので、木星と土星は既に月の直径程度の距離まで見かけ上接近していることが分かります。クリックすると木星の衛星が見えますが、これらは土星からは遠く、大接近の時にいかに二つの星が接近して見えたのか分かります。ちなみに大接近時の見かけ上の距離は月の直径の1/4です。
this was my entry for a photo contest..which I forgot to submit. Which I am not too sad about, because the contest (for items from an event), REQUIRED you to take the pic on the event sim. And the sim itself, while fine for shopping, was pretty boring and uninteresting!
Last night 06/18/2019 from the balcony of my house: Moon-Jupiter conjunction at 02.00 AM.
To the right of the Moon you can see Jupiter surrounded by its 4 satellites: Callisto, Ganimede, Io and Europa.
This image is take from two differents shots with a 300 mm. lens, one calibrated on the Moon and one on Jupiter and its Galilean satellites.
The present great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn occurred after about 400 years. Thus I put my birder's photographic system to a veranda of my house to capture the event. Jupiter with 4 satellites was under Saturn. The apparent distance between the two planets was about 1/4 of the diameter of the moon. In Nagoya, Japan
木星と土星の大接近を撮影しました。木星の4つの衛星が見えます。
In this photo, brightness was reduced by changing conditions of shooting and development to show a character of Saturn. In Nagoya, Japan.

Conjunction (close approach) of the almost full moon (waning/98.2% illumination) and Jupiter in the night sky over Sapporo, Japan.
Camera: Canon EOS 80D.
Lens: Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM.
Edited with GIMP. Composite of two images, one exposed at 1/800 s for the Moon, one at 1/250 s for Jupiter.
Rare conjunction of Jupiter and Venus (the brighter).
While it may seem like the two planetary bodies are touching, they actually aren’t. They are around 600 million kilometres apart.
It is very likely to have clouds in Alberta for any celestial event of significance, no surprise if we are overcast for this episode of Moon and Mars conjunction. Here I have an image from last occurrence, You can see Mars at 11 O' Clock of moon.

The March 1, 2023 conjunction of Jupiter and Venus caught over Utterslev Mose, Copenhagen just after sunset.
A conjunction of the young, 2.4% illuminated, Moon with Venus and Mercury.
With Mercury's greatest elongation occurring just a few days back (15Mar18), it was easily spotted by the unaided eye. As the evening star, Venus will reach its furthest distance from the sun on 17Aug18.
