For two nights in early June, Venus and Jupiter will appear side by side in the western twilight sky — a visual pairing separated in truth by 719 million kilometers, yet close enough in appearance to earn the nickname 'spooky eyes.' The alignment is a product of orbital geometry, a momentary intersection of two wandering paths as seen from our small vantage point on Earth. It is the kind of event that has drawn human eyes skyward for millennia, reminding us that the cosmos speaks most clearly not in collision, but in coincidence.
