As you know, I'm an amateur astronomer. Sometimes I get caught up in the science of it so much that I miss the important stuff. Did everyone see the conjunction of the Moon, Jupiter and Aldebaran last night? Mrs Blog and I took her mother home last evening after a family Christmas get together and I was out in the parking lot and looked up. Jupiter was dazzling point of fire near the Moon. What a beautiful sight ---- and on Christmas!
Jupiter will still be fairly close to the Moon this evening.
