Venus, Jupiter and Crescent Moon In Alignment Tonight
We were looking around to find you a fitting gift for today, and we found something that our readers can share and it doesn’t cost a cent. Beginning tonight, Venus, Jupiter and the crescent moon will join together. By Monday, they will be about 2º apart (about a finger’s width at arms length.) Check out the southwestern sky at twilight. You won’t even need a telescope or binoculars. Miss it and you will have to wait until Nov. 18, 2052 for the next occurrence, although Venus and the moon will pair up again New Year’s Eve.
(P.S. Happy Turkey Day!)

We have been enjoying sights of Venus and Jupiter and look forward to the Crescent Moon join them tonight! We are just north of LAX North runway and often see aircraft lights near the planets.

I am in the North NJ, USA I was coming home at 5:00pm and couldn’t take my eyes off of the moom, I was in awe at the two “stars” next to it. I pulled out my zoom lens on my camera and it was clear that it was two plants, I googled it and this came up. A gift that words cannot describe. I emailed all my friends now its cloudy, bummer!

I too was in awe from the view at 5:15 Monday night. I took great pics and emailed them to my local t.v. station for showing. I couldn’t stop looking out my sunroof at this site and then straight in front of me all the way home.
