See Jupiter, Venus and the moon close together


At the start of the month, the always bright Jupiter can found near the western horizon, making its exit from our skies – falling below our horizon by December 10th. If you get a chance, have a look on December 1st where Jupiter, Venus and the Moon form an interesting conjunction low in the western skies. A conjunction of celestial bodies occurs in the sky if those bodies are (temporarily) close together in the sky (within a few degrees)
