Last week the Moon, Venus and Jupiter were in conjunction. Planets align on a regular basis.

Compared to all other states, Venus and Jupiter have always been close (https://goo.gl/maps/p2at3Lr4Z2LqeP1U7).

But Venus is actually closer to Mars. (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=venus+pa&t=h_&ia=web&iaxm=directions&iax=images&end=what%3AVenus%252C%2520Pennsylvania&transport=drive&start=what%3AMars%252C%2520PA%2Cwhere%3AUnited%2520States)

The conjunction was visible enough in Central California that my wife even noticed it.

Not to restart this debate again, but early April does have a notably better chance of clear conditions than early March.

I guess the Asteroid Belt Pass is not open for 5-6 months of the year.

So, instead of one sunny day in two weeks, we'll get two!

I was referring to a song by Wings.

Who doesn't? (I saw the same reference elsewhere earlier this week when someone mistakenly thought Jupiter was Mars in this week's sky.)

I noticed the conjunction too. I knew one of the "stars" was too bright it could only be Venus, but I didn't realize the other (Jupiter) was a planet as well.

In 2019, Venus Williams bought a $9.6M resort home in Jupiter Island FL.  Does that count?
