Venus, Jupiter, and the crescent Moon will be very close to each other in the sky at sunset tonight (about an hour from now). Looks like it will be clear weather for viewing. When I looked last week with my son's telescope, Venus and Jupiter were still quite a ways apart, but Venus has been moving at close to its maximum of 1 degree (about 2 moon widths) per day!

We could see Venus close to the moon and Jupiter farther away. In European longitudes, the moon actually passed directly in front of Venus!
