LOOK WEST! If you have a clear sky right now, head outside and look westward. The much-anticipated Venus/Jupiter conjunction is putting on a show. The two appear only 3-full-Moon widths apart from one another. The evening twilight is no match for these two bright planets. Captured tonight from Webster, New York.
Fascinating: The centre of the image is encircled by the characteristic arcs of strong gravitational lensing, an astronomical effect that can distort, magnify, or even duplicate the appearance of far-off galaxies

Look to the western sky after sunset over the next two nights to spot the two brightest planets passing during a close conjunction.

Spotted my first Purple Mountain Saxifrage (Saxifraga oppositifolia) of the year. It's #Nunavut Territorial Flower JUN.8.2026 #ArcticFlowers#ShareYourWeather
A STRONG #TORNADO risk area has been added to northern Kansas and southern Nebraska for a mode of supercells with increasing low-level shear this evening!
When the sun finally came out this afternoon we had a wander around the garden and I could hardly believe my eyes when I spotted this White Letter Hairstreak Butterfly on one of the Hogweeds. A garden first - Wowser!! 😳 😁@savebutterflies
