Celestial Moon, Jupiter and Venus

[Aglaope]

If you missed seeing the Moon, Jupiter and Venus in Feb. you still have a chance on March 23. It was pretty amazing to see it so vividly in Feb. We usually have cloud cover and miss these type of events.

Jupiter will set first about 13 minutes later (at 8:33 PM) followed by the Moon (at 8:41 PM). Thursday evening, March 23, 2023, the thin waxing crescent Moon will appear about 6 degrees below the bright planet Venus.

Looking at this on Stellarium.com, it looks like the most fun is not until the 27th, when Mercury is added to the mix. I'll likely give it a gander every night, hoping for stars not clouds . . . or snow!

Thank you! I plan to look tonight and will then follow to the 27th. Rained yesterday so hopefully no cloud cover tonight!
