If not, try to take a look tonight. The Moon-Jupiter-Venus conjunction is beautiful. I browsed around the net and found some great photos. Here are two from Weather Underground—click on them for the full-size images. I was vaguely aware of having seen a news story or two about this, but wasn’t even thinking about it…
