Continuing our Planet Dance, Venus is rising higher, Mercury and Jupiter are dropping lower, and the trio now form a definite triangle (see previous shots here and here). Venus and Jupiter will continue to move closer, leading up to their spectacular close approach on the 27-29th. Now if only the clouds woudl go away.
