It is a very striking, impossible to miss, conjunction in the night sky over New England.

I knew it was a planet (& even though this was late at night, rather than early morning) I double checked to see whether it was Venus or Jupiter. I should have remembered. We get this Moon-Jupiter conjunction quite often in Winter. [Venus, per its colloquial name ‘morning star’, tends to be more visible in the morning as opposed to late nights.]

Well, enjoy it. It is quite the sight.
