Venus-Jupiter Conjunction 2017 - tonight!

in science •  7 years ago 

Hola my Steemit friends. Just a quick post to inform you all that in the early hours of Nov 12th Venus and Jupiter will pass by very close together. This is called a conjunction. They should be pretty easy to see from many places worldwide if you have a good view and clear skies. Venus and Jupiter have not been this close together for over a decade!

Ill be out on the beach here in Cancun around 1am to watch this planetary show. Anyone else going to staying up late/getting up early to check this out? Im hoping to spot the disk around Venus. It's supposed to be very easy to spot with an average telescope.
