February Night Sky

Technically tomorrow's early morning sky

Look to the southwest before sunrise Thursday, February 22 for the conjunction of planets Venus and Mars.

With clear skies you should have no problem spotting them with naked eyes.  The brighter Venus will be a mere .6 of a degree apart from red Mars - our two closest planets to earth.

If you have binoculars brace them against a porch post or your elbows on a rail and take-in the view.

Or sleep-in and miss the whole shebang.
