pretty sky alert -- Venus & Jupiter
Mar. 13th, 2012 12:06 pmI haven't posted any of these alerts for awhile, but found this on SPACE.com yesterday & thought I'd pass it along. Sadly, it seems to be mostly for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere.
From tonight (or last night) until March 15th, Venus & Jupiter will be approaching each other in the night sky just after sunset. March 15th is the date of the actual conjunction -- possibly the best for several years -- which should be visible at mid-northern latitudes for about 4 hours after sunset.. Look toward the western horizon.
You can find all the details -- plus pix & video -- here.
