| Venus continues to move through Aquarius and narrow the gap with Jupiter. On this date, she is only 1° 49' south of Neptune (unmarked on the images because it's far too faint). Compare this view with that of February 3 and February 8. Here we see both Venus and Jupiter still considerably south of the ecliptic, with Venus being magnitude -3.95 and Jupiter clocking in at magnitude -2.17, and a separation of 16° 25' 25" at the time of the image. Jupiter is almost back in Pisces, while Venus will be in Pisces within two days. |
