NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day
2023 August 08 - Moon Meets Jupiter
In today's image, we see our Moon and the planet Jupiter as they pass close together in the sky. This is an example of a conjunction when two objects pass close together. However, even though they appear close together, the Moon is far closer than Jupiter in space!
