Jupiter and Venus are set to share a “cosmic kiss” Thursday night as they appear side by side.
The two planets crossed paths shortly after sunset Wednesday night as Jupiter moved west and Venus slowly passed in the other direction. Sky-watchers will be able to see the Jupiter and Venus share a smooch with the naked eye early in the evening, shortly after sunset. Venus is the brightest planet and can be seen on the right side, while Jupiter is the leftmost one in the sky.

During that full moon, Venus, Jupiter and Mars will all be visible in the night sky.
