The planet will be separated from the sun by 46 degrees on June 1 .

The best time to spot Venus for stargazers in the U.S. is during the pre-dawn hours on May 31 and June 1 , when the planet will appear as a bright, magnitude -4.3 morning star rising over the eastern horizon.

Venus has been a regular fixture in the morning sky following its inferior conjunction on March 22 , when it passed between Earth and the sun.
