Venus and Saturn and the Stars, Oh My!

Tonight is the last night when Venus and Saturn will be visible in the same binocular field. Look southwest about an hour and a half after sunset to see the two shining together. Venus will be easiest to spot, because of its intense luminosity. Saturn’s coordinates will be Right Ascension: 2h 42m 21s | Declination:  83° 32.400′. For more information, visit EarthSky.org. It will be an exciting opportunity to see the two together!
