Venus and Jupiter are at their closest angular distance early this year. On 1,2 Feb 2008 dawn, we will get a spectacular view of both the brightest planets on the eastern sky, so close that they’re just 0.6° apart.
Check out your starchart, Stellarium, Starry Night, The Sky or S&T online starchart to check the rise time of both the planets. You don’t need any equipment to join, just a pair of eyes will do. However, a digital camera can photograph this wonder.
