Celestial Show Sunday, March 25th, 2012

 

This weekend, Venus and Jupiter will shine together in the western sky, and the slim crescent moon will also play a part in the celestial show. 


During the past month we've been treated to a sort of "twilight tango" between the two brightest planets, Venus and Jupiter, in the western night sky. Like two ships passing in the night, they have spent the last several weeks first approaching each other, then passing each other on March 13.
