Venus and Jupiter to pass in the night sky

[Crabtownboy]

Go out and look, they are very bright.

Despite being vastly far from one another in space, the conjunction will make them appear just a few degrees apart in the sky - about the width of a pair of fingers held at arm's length.

The pair can be seen to the west-southwest, shortly after sunset.

Venus is the brighter of the two, and Jupiter will appear to move in a line past it for the rest of the month.

I was big into astronomy growing up. I like looking at this. Always intrigued when you can see planets.

Same with the northern lights as of recent.

Amzing how these things occur as the sunn and planets orbit around the earth.

I still look at them through a scope. Saturn is really a sight.

No rather "Claudius Ptolemy" and the ancient Greeks geocentric solar system.
