Explanation: It was visible around the world. The sunset conjunction of Jupiter (left) and Venus (right) in 2012 was visible almost no matter where you lived on Earth. Anyone on our planet with a clear western horizon at sunset could see them. That year, a creative photographer traveled away from the town lights of Szubin, Poland to photograph a near closest approach of the two planets. The bright planets were then separated by only three degrees and his daughter struck a humorous pose. A faint red sunset still glowed in the background. Jupiter and Venus are together again this week after sunset, passing within a degree of each other about two days from today.

Outstanding
“Here comes Jupiter, there goes...Venus.”
How fun. What a great memory made for a girl and her Dad. :)
Cute image, but there was undoubtedly “post-op” work done to make the planets glow so big and bright like that. What you’d come away with in an undoctored photo is two bright pinpoints.
Nothing unusual here. Just holding up Jupiter and Venus on the way home before the sky gets dark.
Where’s Pollux and Castor? They should be above and to the right.
Love it. Brilliant!

Good Catch
Also, it's June, why do the trees have no leaves and the person is wearing a heavy jacket.
This had to be taken sometime else
Actually bad catch and bad response by me. The article says the photo is from 2012. Which this conjunction would have happened in Pisces.
