Our two brightest planets, Venus and Jupiter, will be converging in the evening sky, to the west, through the end of February and the beginning of March. Don't miss Saturday Feb. 25 and Sunday Feb. 26 when the thin crescent moon forms a heavenly triangle with the two planets in the west at sunset. On Saturday, the moon will be closest to Venus and on Sunday it will be next to Jupiter.
Watch the YouTube Video from Science@NASA here:http://youtu.be/x8br4JiFEik I hope to swing the Altadena WeatherCam around facing West on Saturday and Sunday and make the event viewable on the internet. Check back then at http://www.westphalfamily.com/wxdata2.html
The temperature won't be too cold and there is only a chance of cloud cover on Saturday so go outside and enjoy the show.
