BEAUTIFUL EVENING SIGHT IN OUR SKIES MONDAY DECEMBER 1ST <br>
<br>
<br>
VENUS, JUPITER AND THE MOON GATHER IN OUR EVENING SKY – MONDAY DEC 1ST <br>
<br>
Skygazers around the world will see a beautiful “conjunction” of
the crescent Moon with two very bright planets – Venus and Jupiter
– early next week. <br>
<br>
South Africans will see this in the early evening of Monday December 1st. <br>
<br>
What to look for: <br>
Go out as soon as it starts getting dark on Monday evening (Dec 1st), and look
towards the west, where the Sun set. Look for the thin crescent Moon. The very
bright “evening star” just to the left of the Moon is the planet
Venus. The other bright “star” below to the right of the Moon is
Jupiter. <br>
<br>
This will be visible for about two hours after the Sun has set, for one evening
only. If you watch closely enough, you will notice the Moon moving eastwards in
its orbit around the Earth – the gap between Jupiter and the Moon will
increase slightly. <br>
<br>
No equipment is necessary for this, and it will be easily visible from even the
most brightly-lit cities. <br>
