Hello to all,
From own computation results, I find that the least geocentric distance between Jupiter and Venus will be at 1203" (within +/- 6") - i.e. slightly over 20' - and it will happen on Jul 01st at 03h48m47.1s TT, or with TT-UT=69.3s, it will occur at or near 03h47m37.8s UT.
For more accurate results I think that Paul [Hirose] and some other Members can number crunch the results to a much higher accuracy.
If so, please feel free to do so.
Kermit
