Or, tonight, that should be moon, Venus, Jupiter, lowest to highest in the evening sky. Mercury is even visible for a little while after sunset if you have a flat horizon to the west. What a fine springlike day today was, and now I'm thankful for the clear sky tonight and I hope tomorrow too. Living in a small town has the advantage of a relatively dark sky (the farm is even better, though not as good as in the old days of yore, late last century). Orion and the dog star are blazing away in the western sky, visible from my side yard at about my bedtime, which these days is 10 pm. The moon-Venus-Jupiter-show gets even better on the 24th and 25th, and then in March comes the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter.
