Jupiter/Venus Conjunction

For the past few weeks, Jupiter has been hiding behind the sun. In November, the giant planet will emerge from the glare and race into the pre-dawn sky for a spectacular conjunction with Venus. At closest approach on Nov. 13th, the two bright worlds will be a breathtaking 0.3 degrees apart--so close that you can hide them together behind an outstretched pinky finger. Mark your calendar for the 12th, 13th, and 14th. Star Charts available at: http://spaceweather.com/  This post courtesy of SpaceWeather.com, to go there just click the underlined link.  (JRJ)
