If you have been out enjoying the recent mild temperatures in the evening,
you should have noticed the 2 very bright stars in our
western sky.
They are really 2 of our neighboring planets, Jupiter and Venus
We broke out the telescope the past 2 nights, pretty cool, could see 4 of Jupiters moons.
This Thursday evening, look to the western skies as Jupiter and Venus—the two brightest planets to the unaided eye—stage a close encounter over the Northern Hemisphere.
Though the two planets will appear to converge all this week, they’ll be at their closest March 15—separated by only 3 degrees in the sky, or the width of two fingers at arms’ length.
So get out and take a look this week.
