Today:
Facing west-northwest this evening, you will note that Venus and Jupiter have drifted farther apart, with Venus well above Jupiter. To Jupiter’s right shines the slightest sliver of a crescent Moon. Below and slightly to the Moon’s right is Mercury. Above and slightly to the Moon’s right is the star Pollux, and to Pollux’s right is Castor, completing the Gemini Twins.
