EVENING PLANETS.

[supernova]

EVENING PLANETS: When the sun goes down tonight, step outside and look southwest. The two brightest planets, Venus and Jupiter, are shining through the twilight side by side. You'll want to keep an eye on these two because they are drawing noticeably closer together every night. Venus and Jupiter are converging on a patch of sky in Sagittarius where they will have a spectacular double-conjunction with the Moon at the end of the month. Don't wait until then, though. Visit http://spaceweather.com for sky maps and start watching now.

Bernie if you could wave away the clouds I would love to see the pair but alas I can't.

Thanks for the head up though.

I saw them both tonight from about 16:45. Looked great amongst the coloured clouds. Venus, although lower, appeared first, and is considerably brighter than Jupiter.

According to Stellarium, Dec 1st will have the three of them in very 'close' proximity, but you'll need good southern horizons to see them when its dark.

Maybe worth a trip down south though!! Thanks fro the heads up Bernie. Its bound to be cloudy
