sciencesoup:Fun activity for those in the southern hemisphere right now! Step outside, look up to the west, and find the two brightest stars in the sky. They’re actually not stars at all - they’re PLANETS. The brightest one is Venus and the one below is Jupiter. They’ve been moving towards each other (from our perspective) for a few weeks. They were at their closest point a few nights ago and are now moving away from each other again.See some planets with your naked eyes while they’re still close, go go go!A bunch of people have informed me that they’re visible in the northern hemisphere as well - and yes, guys, that’s totally true! You can see them from both hemispheres around dusk and for a while after. I should have clarified. :) -- source link
