Need some dazzle in your life? Don’t miss tonight’s Jupiter-moon duet
November’s been a wonderful month for conjunctions (close approaches) of the planets and moon. Tonight’s no exception. Jupiter and the Full Beaver Moon will be little more than one degree apart in the east all night long. I guarantee a lot of dazzle – this pairing is close enough to get the attention of anyone who happens to look up. Be sure to check it out.By: Astro Bob, Areavoices.com
