Conjunction of Jupiter and Venus

[lajoswinkler]

Some of you were too young to remember the last one. These two planets are at this very moment very close on the night sky. 12 angular minutes. The Moon has approximately 30'.

For people in Europe, they will rise in less than two hours. If you're reading this, try to get outside to see it. It's a rare event. Tommorow will be too late as the total motion of Earth, Jupiter and Venus makes them drift apart.

So... no one? Really?

You've missed an awesome thing.
