The planets were simply beautiful in the early evening sky tonight. At 8:00pm I suggested to L that she come out and take a look. Jupiter was highest, then a little triangle cluster of Mars, Saturn, and Venus, with Mercury somewhat closer to the horizon. Aparently the triangle gets even closer tomorrow night, but who knows? It might be cloudy.
Karma came out and watched with us. The neighbourhood went on with whatever it does at that time of night, but I was in a little bubble of astro-joy.
