This Week's Sky Aug-27/Sep-3

A picture is worth a thousand words, more so in astronomy

Let's take a look at the coming week's sky

On August 27th, about 45 minutes after sunset, go outdoors and start looking low above the horizon in the west for an amazingly close pairing of Venus and Jupiter.

Next weekend, shortly after sunset, the thin Moon (waxing crescent) steps away from Venus and Jupiter.

Looking at the night sky is a great joy! Free for everyone with no ticket required. You can watch the evening sky with your naked eye, no need for telescope or binoculars for these beautiful astronomical events.

Stay tuned for next week's sky.
