Four days later, Jupiter and Venus are a little closer.
By May 31st, Jupiter and Venus are just a little more than three degrees apart. On June 3rd, there is only 1.7 degrees between these two planets. About four and a half degrees separate the stars Castor and Pollux in Gemini.
It looks like it's going to be cloudy June 3rd so I don't think I'll be taking any pictures tonight!
