LOOK! A CELESTIAL TRIANGLE!
They've been approaching each other rapidly and tonight is the night. Check out the NASA Sky Map for Dec. 1. Jupiter, Venus and the Crecent Moon, the three brightest things in the night sky in close enough proximity you could cover them with your hand!
The little girl who called to tell me about it said it was a Smiley Face. The Moon tonight is 15% crescent and forms an isosceles triangle with Venus and Jupiter - a celestial triangle visible all over the world, unless you get cloudy weather. Mo just emailed me that they can't see it where she is in Canada.
This is an exciting event. Said one viewer, "MOST AWESOME THING I EVER SEEN."
The stars at night are big and bright ... deep in the heart of Texas, and fortunately tonight in Dallas, they are clear and bright and this is spectacular.
