* Venus and Jupiter Conjunction - tomorrow morning

Tomorrow morning, Monday 13th November, it's worth getting up early to see the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter - very close together in the Eastern pre-dawn sky, just before sunrise.

The two planets will appear less than half a degree apart from our viewing location. Venus will be the brighter of the two, shining at -3.7 magnitude. For more, check out this article on space.com (https://www.space.com/38732-venus-jupiter-2017-conjunction-explained.html).
