When you want to see the stars, find someplace dark
The Moon and Venus
An evening conjunction of Mercury, Venus and Jupiter on 30 May, 2013A very nice evening conjunction between a crescent Moon and Venus will occur this evening, March 22. The pair will be just under 5° apart and will grace the sunset until well after dark, setting after 9pm. Venus is currently shining brightly at -4.0 magnitude, a nice match for a 10% illuminated waxing Moon.
