Title: Another chance to catch an astronomy site tonight
Post by: Jolly Blue Giant on March 02, 2023, 02:24:19 PM
Tonight we'll be able to see Venus and Jupiter "touching". Should be easy to find as Venus is so bright you can pick it out with ease. Anyway, just a heads-up. If interested, you should be able to see it shortly after sun down this evening.  https://www.space.com/venus-jupiter-shine-closest-until-2032

I went out and couldn't see a thing. Too cloudy, nary a single star  :(

That seems to be the norm whenever there is something to see in the night sky....at least for me!
