Celestial Triangle On Monday


On Monday, December 1, just after sunset, the moon, Venus and Jupiter will form a triangle in the southwest sky. Hopefully, the sky will be clear enough where you are to give a view of this event. You may even be able to see "earthshine", which is reflected light from earth that could make the unlighted part of the slim crescent moon visible. Happy viewing and use binoculars if you have them.

Hopefully these clouds (and the snow that comes with them) will go away by this evening.
