Two planets are about to cross paths in the fading twilight — and one of them will soon disappear from the night sky.
Tonight (March , Venus and Saturn meet in a beautiful conjunction low in the western sky just after sunset. The two worlds will appear separated by only 1° — about the width of a single finger held at arm’s length.

Venus will blaze brilliantly at magnitude –3.8, impossible to miss.
Saturn, glowing much more faintly at magnitude 1.0, will sit just to Venus’ lower left. Because of the bright twilight, Saturn may be harder to see — but a pair of binoculars should easily reveal it.
How to see it:
Look toward the western horizon about 30–45 minutes after sunset.
Venus will be low but dazzling, only about 6° above the horizon, with Saturn right beside it. A clear, unobstructed western horizon will give you the best view. Both planets are currently in the constellation Pisces.

What makes this meeting special is the story behind it.
Venus is arriving.
Night by night, it will climb higher and brighter in the evening sky, beginning its reign as the Evening Star.
Saturn is leaving.
With each sunset it sinks deeper into the Sun’s glare — and by March 25, it will vanish completely behind the Sun.
Tonight marks their crossing point in the sky:
one world arriving, one world departing.

And the most incredible part?
In reality, these two planets are separated by nearly a billion miles. Yet from Earth, all that cosmic distance is compressed into a single fingertip of sky.
