On earth, they would appear as if they were about to collide. This planetary conjunction occurs once a year.

You probably don’t want to miss it this year because otherwise you’ll have to wait another 17 years for it.
So, this is going to be an amazing planetary conjunction, which will be hard to miss.
“Although Venus and Jupiter come close to each other every few years, this time there was also Mars and Saturn in a fairly rare mix. If you have a good telescope, binoculars or camera, you’ll get an even better view,” Brad Tucker, astrophysicist, Australian National University told the Guardian.
“The planets will differ in their brightness. Venus is brighter than Jupiter so it will look dazzlingly bright when you look at it. Jupiter will be a bit dimmer, about one-sixth of the brightness of Venus,” Prof Lucie Green, chief stargazer, Society for Popular Astronomy told BBC News.
