Venus and Jupiter 12th August 2025
August 11 & 12 – Venus-Jupiter Conjunction – The two brightest planets have a close meet up over several days, appearing closest over two days on the 11th and 12th, at just a degree apart.
Jupiter: Appears in the east each morning, together with Venus, but much less bright.
Two of the brightest objects in the night sky will take to the stage very early in the morning on 12 August. Once they rise at around 2.30 am in the north east it’ll be hard to miss this double act, being outshone only by the Moon, with Jupiter at magnitude -1.9 and Venus at -4.
The pair will be separated by less than one degree in the sky, which is just the width of your little finger!
Both planets are known for their dazzling brightness thanks to their highly reflective atmospheres, so don’t miss the opportunity to see them come together in the sky.
