Explanation: What are those two bright objects on the horizon? Venus and Jupiter. The two brightest planets in the night sky passed very close together — angularly — just two days ago. In real space, they were just about as far apart as usual, since Jupiter (on the right) orbits the Sun around seven times farther out than Venus. The planetary duo were captured together two days ago in a picturesque sunset sky from Llers, Catalonia, Spain between a tree and the astrophotographer’s daughter. These two planets will continue to stand out in the evening sky, toward the west, for the next few days, with a sliver of a crescent Moon and a fainter Saturn also visible nearby. As November ends, Jupiter will sink lower into the sunset horizon with each subsequent night, while Venus will rise higher. The next Jupiter-Venus conjunction will occur in early 2021.

说明：地平线附近的那两个亮点是什么天体？是金星和木星。两天之前，这两颗明亮的行星在夜空中的角距离很近。在真实的空间中，它们和平常一样相距遥远，这是因为木星（右侧）绕太阳运行的轨道比金星远7倍之多。在西班牙加泰罗尼亚的莱尔斯，天文摄影师在两天前的一个美丽日落拍摄了这对行星组合的照片。这两颗行星正好位于一颗大树和天文摄影师的女儿之间。在未来的几天中，这两颗行星依然会在西方的夜空中醒目。此外，附近还能看到一缕新月和黯淡的土星。随着十一月行将结束，之后的每个夜晚之前木星都会在日落的时候下沉到地平线之下，而金星依然高悬在夜空之中。下一次金星合木星将会发生在2021年初。
