I saw this tonight on my way to and from the store. I had to drag the whole family outside to see it. It is beautiful! Then I come here and see it "made news" LOL!

According to the article, the next time Jupiter, Venus and the Moon will be as close and visible as this week will be Nov. 18, 2052.

I saw it, too. It was cool! Had actually forgotten about it, because I'd looked at the weather forecast the other night and thought it'd be overcast. But walked out and there it was. Very pretty. Called the family out to see and phoned a friend.
Yep. 2052 I'm pretty sure I'll be looking at it from that other angle as well. That will be the coolest!

Haven't you been paying attention. The rapture is in just two years, so we'll all be here in our new glory suits. Duh...

My wife and I enjoyed the show last night in the Lowe's parking lot. The planets were extremely bright due to our rare low humidity. I could hardly believe how bright they were even in a light polluted parking lot.
