Short Note on Jupiter and Venus

 For today's entry, this will be just a short entry about the close approach on Jupiter and Venus in the western sky. Tonight should be the closest, with the separation being only around 0.5 degrees. I don't know if it will be visible due to clouds in the area of Richmond, Va, where we are currently staying. The GOES satellite image shows what I mean.

 


Last night February 28th, through clouds, I was able to get an image, which wasn't too bad.

 



[Update]

And.... I was only partially right. There was still a lot of high cloudiness, but I was able to at least get the duo.
