THIS ONLY HAPPENS DECEMBER 1st!!!!!!!
When it gets dark, go outside. There will be a cresent moon. And 2 stars will be making a triangle with it. The really bright star is actually a planet- Venus. And the other one that is across from the moon, and is the top right of the triangle (it could be a little dim depending on where you live) is also a planet- Jupiter. It is an amazing sight. It happens once in a lifetime.


Right after sunset
Its at its best around 5:00 but it will be up there untill around 6:30.
And there might be a slight overcast if you go by eastern time... Not to worry- I live in RI (US) and there is a slight overcast, but I can still see it perfectly.




*I have another topic just like this one, but I posted another one to make sure people see this amazing sight...
