Dawn, At the Peak of the Venus-Jupiter Alignment<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n

The alignment of Venus and Jupiter, which has been putting on quite a show at dawn in the past couple of weeks, reached the closest point to alignment this weekend. This is the closest these two brightest planets will be until 2021. Sky and Telescope<\/a><\/em> has some diagrams, as well as upcoming things to watch for in the coming days.<\/p>\n
