Make sure you look to the West after sunset tonight - Venus, the crescent Moon and Jupiter forming a nice triangle in the twilight sky.
This is a simulation of what they'll look like (though the Moon will be a crescent).

Share with your friends and get them outside looking too!

Had big plans for this conjunction,with location and symmetrical looking Bunya Pine trees all ready to frame this lovely event.But big rains here in S.E QLD,washed away any hope.

Hope others got to see and image.Cheers

I just managed to catch a good view of the crescent moon, Jupiter and Venus on Saturday evening just before the clouds rolled over. they were looking good on Friday for a little while though, before the moon set.

I saw them at 15:00 (UTC+8) from Bali, Venus with the naked eye and Jupiter easily with binoculars.

Skies are rubbish here in the hills district, Sydney
At least yesterday one could just see Jup through the cloud, today is hopeless

I was very lucky, I got nice big cloud gaps :D
It looked so pretty!
Further made my evening seeing Hubble do a very high and bright fly over (west to N.East). Going thru Orion looked amazing. Woohoooo!
