by Johnny Horne
The planet Jupiter will appear very close to tonight’s waxing crescent moon after sunset this evening..
The pair may be obscured by clouds which are forecast to thicken by later today.
To the right is a screen shot from “Stellarium” showing the pair as they should appear at 8:30 PM tonight.
The star Ain in the constellation Taurus will shine just to the left of tonight’s 8:30 PM moon.
