Tonight !
September 8, 2026, the sky features a beautiful celestial meeting between the thin crescent Moon and bright Jupiter. The two worlds will appear unusually close together from Earth, creating a striking sight for skywatchers around the world. In some locations, the event becomes even more special as the Moon passes in front of Jupiter in a rare lunar occultation, temporarily hiding the giant planet from view.
The exact visibility depends on your location, but even where the occultation cannot be seen, the close pairing of the Moon and Jupiter can make for a beautiful astronomical sight.
