Here we see Venus in Pisces and Jupiter probably only a few hours away from moving into Pisces, separated by 12° 19' 45" at the time of the image. 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 -2.16; from the separation and the fact that their conjunction is on March 1, it seems that Venus is closing the gap between the two at a rate of 1° per day. |
