Conjunction of Mercury and Venus, appearing above the Moon, at the Paranal Observatory.. This is a list of the Solar System's recent planetary conjunctions (in other words, when two planets look close together) for the period 2005–2020.
Triple conjunctions between the inferior planets Mercury and Venus and the superior planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, dwarf planet Pluto or with stars take place when these objects are at the same time in conjunction to Sun while Mercury or Venus are at inferior conjunction. Frequently the second conjunction takes place when both bodies ...
A conjunction of Venus and Jupiter occurred on 1 December 2008, and several hours later both planets separately reached conjunction with the crescent Moon. [14] An occultation of Venus by the Moon was visible from some locations. [15] The three objects appeared close together in the sky from any location on the Earth.

Neptune's innermost moon, Naiad, is in a 73:69 fourth-order resonance with the next outward moon, Thalassa. As it orbits Neptune, the more inclined Naiad successively passes Thalassa twice from above and then twice from below, in a cycle that repeats every ~21.5 Earth days. The two moons are about 3540 km apart when they pass each other.
August 11: Venus conjunct Jupiter - This aspect functions as a beacon of light during an intense month. Make the best of it by spending time with your family (or chosen family); perhaps you travel ...
The next time a mutual planetary transit or occultation will happen (as seen from Earth) will be on 22 November 2065 at about 12:43 UTC, when Venus near superior conjunction (with an angular diameter of 10.6") will transit in front of Jupiter (with an angular diameter of 30.9"); however, this will take place only 8° west of the Sun, and will therefore not be visible to the unaided/unprotected ...
