See Venus and Jupiter closest tonight, watch live online

Venus and Jupiter will be really close in the evening sky tonight, Tuesday 9 June 2026, so it's a great view. If your weather's clear and you're outside, check the western sky after the sun goes down. If not, the Virtual Telescope project is streaming the whole event live from 19:30 UTC.
