Okay, are you seeing what we're seeing on this clear and cold night? We are getting photos and questions about these lights in the sky. Our two brightest planets, Venus and Jupiter, are putting on a spectacular show. Well, all the planets of our solar system are like ping pong balls on a table. And if you're one of the ping pong balls being Earth, you're going to see two convertors close together every now and then. Okay, are you seeing what we're seeing on this clear and cold night?

Well, all the planets of our solar system are like ping pong balls on a table.

And if you're one of the ping pong balls being Earth, you're going to see two convertors close together every now and then. Well, because Venus rounds the sun once every 224 days, whereas Jupiter, every almost 12 years, every now and then, they kind of come close together. Well, there you have it. Gary says tonight is the best night for viewing. And then day by day, the two planets will slowly be moving together, are actually further from each other. The next time you'll see them this close, really, August of 2025. And the best time is right about after sunset.
