Stargazing tonight

For those of you who, like me, find yourselves looking skyward (too) often--and I know you are out there--I thought you may find it interesting to know that you should be able to see Venus and Jupiter both in tonight's night sky. The pair have been visible for the past two nights, but this evening is the grand finale, according to today's Boston Globe:

"Venus and Jupiter, the two brightest planets, have been marching toward each other for more than a month in the southwestern sky at dusk. As they've drawn closer together, the sight has been catching more people's eyes, and now the show is reaching its climax.

[Tonight] brings the peak of the show. The two planets will remain as close as ever, and the moon will form a compact, extraordinary triangle with them.

Then on subsequent evenings, things fall apart. The moon will move farther off to the upper left, and Jupiter starts pulling away to Venus's right."

This sound like the tragic tangos of all tragic tangos. I feel badly for Jupiter and Venus, but I will watch and root for them just the same. Even though I already know the outcome.
