Default Sky Show Tonight

SPECTACULAR CONJUNCTION:
When the sun goes down tonight, step outside and look southwest. You'll see something very pretty: Venus and Jupiter beaming together through the twilight. For the directionally challenged, turn around from the direction you saw the shuttle launch and look a little toward your left.

The two closely-spaced planets are about to be joined by the slender crescent Moon for a spectacular three-way conjunction that arguably ranks as the best sky show of 2008. You should be able to see Jupiter, Venus, and the crescent Moon together on Monday evening.
Let's hope it's not cloudy.
