Conjunction Delights
Walking home this evening I had a taste of treat early evenings hold for us over the next week. Jupiter, Venus and Spica hanging togeter in the gatering twilight.
Jupiter and Venus have been slowly drawing towards each other. But over the next week they go from being a bit over a handspan apart, to around a finger with apart. With the bight star Spica forming an attractive triangle with them, they will make a beautiful sight in the western evening sky, during late twilight and early in the evening. Venus and Jupiterare the brightest objects in the western evening sky, so they will be a bit hard to miss.
Weather permitting, I'll try and keep a photo journal. Didn't get anything tonight as Smallest One had turned into Evil Monster baby (tm)
