It's cold here to go out and check the sky but bundle up and get out there: NOW! All 3 solar system neighbors are clustered in the southwest sky right now. Earth shine on the moon adds to the amazing shot. Venus, so much brighter than smaller and more distant Mars, sits right below the little red world with the moon looking on just to the west (right). Wow!
On the other side of the sky, mighty Jupiter outshines all the bright stars of the winter (still dimmer than Venus), as clear as cold as tonight is starting out, Jovian moons should be spottable through binoculars.
Anyone daring the brutal cold of early morning will find Saturn high up in the southeast with it's rings tipped spectacularly for telescope viewing.
It's cold out there but worth a look, tonight on Earth.
