Well, the world may be going to hell in a hand basket but the heavens are giving us a fantastic display tonight with the crescent Moon, Venus,the Pleiades and Jupiter in the western sky.
If your area has clear skies to the west you can see this display...binoculars or a telescope or with the naked eye.

Now I’ve got to check outside to see if Mars is still visible further east. It has been, pretty much all month . . .

Is the moon in the second house and does Jupiter align with Mars?

The juxtaposition of these celetrial bodies truly astounded me yesterday night. The qtr moon was like a saucer with Venus hanging right over it. Perfectly clear from Mid Town Atlanta. Super cool.

I’ve been watching these two planets for the last four days and saw tat the moon was going to get into the dance. I’m in SoCal, BTW, I vote conservative.

Beautiful, crisp clear sky here in Kentucky. I got home late and stared in awe at the sky. The magnificence of God’s creation!

Yep, it’s so beautiful that there are two threads in a row mentioning it. They are just glowing.
