[1]Yeah baby, she's got it.
(And I don’t mean the movie kind.)
For the next few evenings, Venus, Jupiter and the crescent moon will come together for a gorgeous show. Sunset is at 4:44pm for the next three days and just after, as the sky darkens, look to the southwest to see the three heavenly bodies hanging out together. Just another thing to be grateful for this holiday weekend.
