Mars and Venus Conjoin
This is not about: “She’s from Venus; he’s from … an alternate universe?” This is about two real planets in conjunction.
Also see Sky and Telescope:
Last weekend in the mountains I saw Jupiter rising in the east

I did not get out there and look. Work is cluttering my life way too much at the moment.
Thanks Monica
I saw Venus, Mars, and the crescent moon close together tonight. A snow storm began to move in just at dusk, and clouds filled the sky. I had just about given up hope when the clouds parted and there they were. My camera and tripod were ready, but the pictures did not come out. My settings were too slow. I’ll try again tomorrow. Any chance you had a good sighting?
Any time now from dusk on should be good.
Magnificent. One cannot fathom the expanse of the universe, its galaxies, its stars and its endless mysteries.
Interesting post Monica, its Saturday here tomorrow.
Just wondering if the time zones make a difference in dates.
