Toward Each Other For A Super Close Meeting!
This week, midnorthern observers can start looking for Venus and Jupiter after sunset in the southwest. Keep an eye on them over the coming weeks as they draw closer together.
They will be at their closest at the end of the month, and on December 1 look for them to be in close company with the crescent Moon.
