Mark sent me this picture of the upcoming "Great Conjunction" of Jupiter and Saturn.  It was taken a few days before the peak conjunction.  You can see Jupiter and Saturn in the lower right corner of the sky.  This is looking southwest, about 45 minutes after sunset.  See how close they are getting?

 

I'm showing you this today to remind you to go outside TONIGHT and look to the southwest.  I hope you'll be able to see the Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn.  I've also seen it called the return of the Star of Bethlehem.    

 

If you miss it tonight, you'll have to wait two decades for the next chance to see this beautiful sight.  That's 2040;  better do it tonight.

 

THANKS MARK!!!
