Jupiter and Venus from Earth [apod.nasa.gov]
It was visible around the world.
The sunset conjunction of Jupiter and Venus in 2012 was visible almost no matter where you lived on Earth.
Anyone on the planet with a clear western horizon at sunset could see them.
Pictured here in 2012, a creative photographer traveled away from the town lights of Szubin, Poland to image a near closest approach of the two planets.
The bright planets were then separated only by three degrees and his daughter struck a humorous pose.
A faint red sunset still glowed in the background.
Jupiter and Venus are together again this month after sunset, passing within a degree of each other about a week ago.
