Cool Sky!

Remember everyone...if you look out to the west tonight roughly between 6:30 and 7:30, you should see the crescent moon in the western sky. Venus should be directly below it...looking like it's almost touching the moon. You should notice a bright Jupiter higher in the sky and perhaps just a touch further south. Mercury will also be visible, but it will be much closer to the horizon and more difficult to see. They'll roughly be in a line from Jupiter to Venus/moon to Mercury. Thanks to Astronomy Magazine for this helpful graphic...enjoy!
