When
What it is
A conjunction is a line-of-sight effect: the bodies only look close from the Earth and are in fact millions of kilometres apart.
How to see it
Look for them in the evening or before dawn, depending on your location; the exact separation shifts slightly with where you are. A wide view with something on the horizon makes a great photo.
