Jupiter, Venus To Shine Side-By-Side: How To See In MI

Jupiter and Venus will be visible in the Michigan sky next week.

The two planets will shine just 1.5 degrees from each other in the western sky just after sunset on June 8 and 9.

Space forecasters said your pinky held at arm’s length should just fit between the two planets.

The two planets will not shine again this closely together until November 2028.

Michigan's skies will be mostly sunny Monday before clouds move in during the nighttime hours. There will be chances for thunderstorms Tuesday across most of the state, including the Detroit area, according to the National Weather Service.

The planets will remain visible throughout June. Additionally, Mercury and a crescent moon will pass Jupiter and Venus, creating a must-see planetary alignment on June 16-18.
