The Venus-Jupiter conjunction in the morning sky these last few days has been out of control.

Yep. I keep seeing it on my way to work, and every time I have to look twice to be sure it isn’t just a couple of planes approaching the airport. I think it’s on Thursday night that it’ll be Venus, Jupiter, and Mars forming a neat little triangle?

I saw that Mars was in there too when I checked the SkySafari app, and I think I (barely) spotted it in the already-brightening sky with my naked eyes a few days ago. I’ll have to get up a little earlier when it’s still dark enough to see it better at some point over the next few days. And if I’m doing that I might as well dust off my telescope, right? :-)
