Beautiful! Seeing Venus and Jupiter coming close together has been a highlight of my evening walks.

sorry to see alt-text disappearing: «The image shows 10 panels, chronologically ordered left to right and taken from February 21 to March 2, showing how Jupiter at the and Venus at the bottom got progressively closer. The sky colors and exposures used for each panel varies depending on the local conditions near sunset. On February 22, Jupiter and Venus were joined by the young crescent Moon. Their angular separation on sky was only the width of a full moon apart by March 2 (last panel).»
