Venus and the Moon

I just wanted to give you all another quick reminder that Venus and the Moon will be right beside each other tonight in the Western Sky. If you’re outside and it’s clear, you really can’t miss them. Use this as an opportunity to give some non-space nut a chance to see a beautiful sight, and maybe hook them on the rewarding hobby of astronomy. 🙂

Take some pictures, and send them in – I may publish a few.

Thanks!
