Did you miss it last night?  After I posted the illustration on Facebook and Twitter last night about having good visibility to see the moon, Jupiter and Venus in the western sky, we had tons of comments about it.  A lot of folks really enjoyed seeing it!  You will have another chance tonight.  A few clouds will try to build in from the south and east.  We should have enough clear skies to see it again tonight after sunset.

Look at the illustration from Earthsky.org on what you will see in tonight's sky.  If you saw it last night, you will notice that it will look a little different tonight.  This time, the moon will be a little closer to Jupiter.  Last night, it was closer to Venus.  (See the picture from Scott Michael Anna from last night)  This is very easy to see.  You don't need any special telescopes or equipment.  Your naked eye will do just fine.

Did you see it?  We had a great view this evening of the crescent moon, Venus and Jupiter.  I mentioned it on Facebook and Twitter earlier and was amazed at all of the comments.  People seemed to really enjoy seeing this sight! 

The good news is, it is possible to see it for the next couple of night.  The bad news is, there will be more clouds blocking out the view.  Visibility was great Saturday.  Sunday we might be able to see a little of it again just after sunset.  Monday, the chances are lower due to thicker clouds.

Here's the updated webcast showing the additional clouds moving in.
