Last nite, Venus & a crescent moon hung in the western horizon for your viewing pleasure.  A vision of beauty!  Hopefully it will be there tonite too in case you missed it.
And they say there is no God!!

I saw it- but I thought it was Jupiter?? I need to get my telescope out! My girls like looking through it. And seeing Jupiter's moons is great!

Thanks for telling us. I missed it last night, but I'll check it out late tonight since I'll be trekking on foot as exercise. Hopefully, the skies will be clear.

Hey!  Where's my stalker (or my flea as I call him) to give me a down-thumb?
Maybe he's taking a nap.   I'll wait.
