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.

Article · Español
El Simit o gevrek (en turco) o koulouri (en griego: κουλούρι) es un pan circular (con forma de toroide) que se decora con semillas de sésamo. Es un pan muy común en Turquía y Grecia. Las características del simit (tamaño, crujiente/blandura, etc.) pueden variar de una región a otra. El simit se suele comer solo, o generalmente con queso. El simit se suele vender en puestos callejeros llamados Simitci que portan un carro o bandeja con varios simit. Cada región o casi cada ciudad de Turquía reclama su propia variante de simit, como Estambul, Ankara, Samsun, Esmirna (en esta última ciudad el simit se llama "gevrek", literalmente, crujiente).
