A Beautiful Sight in the Evening Sky


There is a beautiful and absolutely spectacular sight in the western sky after sunset each night lately.  To the left in this photograph, is the planet Jupiter, and then down and to the right is the brilliant planet Venus!  I was so surprised to see, as well, two fainter stars up and to the right in this photograph, that were only visible after I took this photograph.  They are the stars of the constellation Gemini.  In the center of the photo is Pollux and to the right is Castor.  Try and view this scene each night for the next week - each night Venus is getting closer to Jupiter!  It is such a spectacular sight and looks so much better when you are viewing it with your eyes.  Please check it out!
