The sky - The sky tonight

The Moon, Venus and Jupiter conjunction saturday

The western evening-sky is dominated by a brigth Venus and an almost just as brigth Jupiter. Saturday evening the the new Moon will pas close by Venus, and Sunday it will have wandered on to Juoiter

You have most likely allready spotted the brigth stellar object Venus in the evening sky.

Saturday, the Moon just barely misses Venus by 1 degree

Even a modest binocular will show the scenery with the overwhelmingly brigth Venus and - most likely - the Earthlit nigth-side of the Moon. Definatly worthwhile to observe!

The western horizon just after sunset (5-20pm) Saturday
