Twice in the span of a single June weekend, the two brightest planets in our sky will draw close enough to one another that the human eye can barely tell them apart. From Chile's southern vantage, Venus and Jupiter will converge in the western dusk on June 8th and 9th, 2026, separated by a mere degree and a half — a reminder that the cosmos occasionally arranges itself into spectacles requiring nothing more than a clear horizon and a willingness to look up.
