Description
A few weeks ago, Jupiter and Venus got within a few degrees of each other in the sky just after sunset and I got quite a few good shots with my Tamron 500mm telephoto lens.

Three of Jupiter's Galilean moons are visible in the image. I always find the difference in size between Jupiter and Venus to be amazing when they're close to each other in the sky; Jupiter is eleven times larger than Venus, but because it is so far away from the sun, Venus appears to be larger in the sky.
