Venus and Jupiter - end of January 08
Jan 26th, 2008 by Jessica Wilson
Something beautiful is happening astronomically right now. In the early morning sky before the sunrise, you can see the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter (the two brightest planets) from Earth. Conjunction means that two celestial bodies appear near one another in the sky. The best time to see this will be Feb. 1st and the days around this. Shortly after Feb. 1 you will see the crescent moon with them as well.
