Storm at Saturn's north pole

Querían comer pollo xD

On June 9, the two brightest planets in our night sky will appear just 1.5° apart above the western horizon after sunset — close enough to fit comfortably in the same binocular view.

For a few evenings around the event, you'll be able to step outside and see a stunning planetary pairing with your own eyes:

✨ Venus blazing at magnitude -4.2 ✨ Jupiter shining nearby at magnitude -1.7 ✨ One of the most beautiful naked-eye astronomy events of the year

No telescope required.

Just find a clear view toward the west-northwest horizon about 30–60 minutes after sunset and look for the two brilliant lights hanging together in the twilight.

If you have binoculars, the view becomes even better, with Jupiter's four largest moons potentially visible as tiny points of light beside the giant planet.

Events like this remind us that some of the most spectacular sights in astronomy don't require expensive equipment—just a clear sky and a few minutes of attention.

The Noble Quran 🌹 "And it is He who created the night and the day and the sun and the moon; all [heavenly bodies] in an orbit are swimming." (Surah Al-Anbiya, 21:33)

"It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor does the night outstrip the day. They all float, each in an orbit." (Surah Ya-Sin, 36:40)

"And He has subjected the sun and the moon: each running [its course] for a term appointed." (Surah Ar-Ra'd, 13:2)

"And the sun runs [on course] toward its stopping point. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing. And the moon - We have determined for it phases, until it returns [appearing] like the old date stalk. It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor does the night outstrip the day, but each, in an orbit, is swimming." (Surah Ya-Sin, 36:38-40)

"And He is the One Who created the day and the night, the sun and the moon—each travelling in an orbit." (Surah Al-Anbiya, 21:33)
