Position of the moon in relation to Venus Monday, November 7th(KBTX) As the week carries on, the two will continue to give each other space in the early evening sky.

JUPITER AND SATURN 🌙 If you step outside just after sunset (and have clear skies), you’ll find a crescent Moon just about 2 degrees away from Venus. It should be really pretty, so don’t miss it. Get more November skywatching tips: https://t.co/8goZY15apP pic.twitter.com/2HscghWTQQ

Pssst… look up at the Moon tonight. — NASA (@NASA) November 7, 2021

View of where the moon, Jupiter, and Saturn will be positioned in the sky this week(KBTX) Filling the loneliness left behind by the second rock from the sun, Saturn and Jupiter will fall in a line on the west-southwest sky, nearing a slowly illuminating moon through the week. You can find the two planets — Saturn further south, Jupiter higher above — falling toward the horizon between 7 pm and 10-11 pm each night. By Friday, the moon will set later and the planets will disappear off the horizon an hour or so before the moon.

All of this gears up stargazers for a sight to be seen in December. According to earthsky.org, Jupiter, Saturn, and Venus will appear noticeably close, with Saturn midway between Jupiter and Venus. By the evening of December 5th, the young waxing moon will return to the night sky. Between the 5th and the 9th, viewers can see the moon sweeping up away from the sunset, passing first Venus, then Saturn, then Jupiter. THE SHOW GOES ON
