Don't forget to see the Jupiter-Venus conjunction tonight (June 9)

[Alan Gould]

Don't forget to find a clear view of the west northwest horizon about 40 minutes after sunset (like around 9-9:15pm) tonight (June9) to see the Jupiter-Venus conjunction 

I'm attaching two diagrams. 

One is a diagram of the view to see the conjunction tonight.

The other is a diagram showing the planet positions when Mercury reaches its greatest elongation (which is when Mercury is at greatest angular distance from the Sun as seen from Earth).
