On the evenings of June 6 and 7, Venus and Jupiter will appear to stand side by side in the western sky after sunset — a visual embrace between two worlds separated by 719 million kilometers. This conjunction, sometimes called 'spooky eyes,' is a trick of perspective as old as human wonder itself, two planets tracing their own independent paths around the sun while briefly sharing the same line of sight from Earth. It requires no instrument, no expertise — only the willingness to stop, face west, and look up.
