Heard about it during the week and forgot about it until I caught it before the clouds came in. Was nice to see.

It doesn't look like it.

As it makes closest approaches to Venus and then Jupiter, the moon will share the same right ascension with both planets, an arrangement that astronomers call a conjunction.


The conjunction between the moon and Venus will disappear at around 7:59 p.m. EST (0059 GMT). The conjunction with Jupiter will be visible until around 8:38 p.m. EST (0138 GMT).


During its meetups with the second planet from the sun and the solar system's largest planet, the moon will shine with a magnitude of -9.8, Venus will have a magnitude of -4.0, and Jupiter -2.1 (the minus prefix indicates bright objects). All the objects will be in the constellation of Pisces, but the moon will have moved to Cetus when it gets closest to Jupiter.

Oh if the children of mankind were to be aware of the intelligence these heavenly bodies harbor. My oh my. Oh my. My god. Let them have a glimpse. Let them. A hint. Oh the light at the end of a tunnel. The sign. It’s there. Oh look! There is a Festival of champions. Banquets for warriors. Feasts for the goddesses.
