      Two bright spots are seen on either side of a person standing on a hill   
      who appears to be holding one or both of them. A starry sky appears in   
           the background. Please see the explanation for more detailed   
                                   information.

      Explanation: It was visible around the world. The sunset conjunction of   
      Jupiter and Venus in 2012 was visible almost no matter where you lived   
      on Earth. Anyone on the planet with a clear western horizon at sunset   
      could see them. Pictured here in 2012, a creative photographer traveled   
      away from the town lights of Szubin, Poland to image a near closest   
      approach of the two planets. The bright planets were then separated   
      only by 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 month after sunset, passing within a degree of each   
      other about a week ago.
