Tomorrow night, Venus and the slender crescent Moon will gather together high in the southwestern sky for a beautiful conjunction visible for hours after sunset. These are the two brightest objects in the night sky, so they can be seen through city lights and even fireworks. At the same time, butcloser to the horizon, Mercury and Jupiter are converging for their own conjunction. This one is not so easy to see, but rewarding for those who make the effort to find the two planets shining through the rosy glow of sunset. Courtesy of spaceweather.com. Hope you enjoy, and a have a (safe and) fun New Year's Eve!
