Venus & Jupiter pairing

[Mark Wagner]

Out in my backyard to test my new setup, and over the root in the West is about as nice a pairing of the two brightest planets you could want.

Enjoy, nice out.

[Dave Bullock]

Well of course my westerly view is blocked by my neighbors.  Send a photo!

Mercury was there too but somehow it does not show on the picture.

The closest separation between Venus and Jupiter during twilight will be on Monday and Tuesday nights — about 3 Moon diameters — but the view will be quite striking the next 4 nights.

Fri: 3.9°

Sat: 3.0°

Sun: 2.3°

Mon: 1.7°

Tue: 1.6°

Wed: 2.1°

venus, jupiter, castor, pollux, mercury from a hill near my house (nothing worth seeing on the horizon there)

[Muriel Dulieu Holzer]

Venus, Jupiter and Mercury! 
From Lake Sonoma this Wednesday.



Andrew, I did not go to the Opera. I would like to! 
Any recommendations?
I hope they have operas during full moon!
