Jupiter and Venus from Earth

2026-06-07

It was visible around the world. The sunset conjunction of Jupiter (left) and Venus (right) in 2012 was visible almost no matter where you lived on Earth. Anyone on our planet with a clear western horizon at sunset could see them. That year, a creative photographer traveled away from the town lights of Szubin, Poland to photograph a near closest approach of the two planets. The bright planets were then separated by only three degrees and his daughter struck a humorous pose. A faint red sunset still glowed in the background. Jupiter and Venus are together again this week after sunset, passing within a degree of each other about two days from today.

Un sofrito —hogado (en Colombia), salteado (en Argentina), hogo o refrito (en Ecuador)— es una preparación que se usa como base para preparar muchos otros platillos. Esta "base" culinaria puede contener: cebolla, zanahoria, apio, tomate, sal, cilantro, cebollino y ajo. La combinación de ingredientes y proporciones varían dependiendo de la región o el platillo para el cual se va a usar. Los ingredientes son troceados o picados en pequeños pedacitos que se fríen en aceite de oliva (o un material graso como mantequilla, tocino, etcétera) hasta que quedan desechos por el agua que van soltando ("sudados"), o caramelizados (fritos lentamente a bajo fuego hasta que las azúcares naturales empiezan a colorear los vegetales). La cocción del sofrito generalmente se realiza sobre una sartén, pero a veces se utiliza una cazuela a la cual se añadirá el resto de los ingredientes para el platillo, e.g., carne o vegetales, caldo, etc.
