I happened to see it, at 11pm, last night, during my 1-mile postprandial walk. [Yes, I eat dinner around 9pm. Don’t you?]
It was striking. Jupiter was hard to miss though I had to do a double-take to make sure it was not Venus. Saturn is, of course, much smaller. I pulled out my ‘Google Pixel 5‘ phone & activated Google’s ‘Sky Map’ APP just to make sure.
I have a nasty feeling that tonight’s cloud will preclude us being able to see this conjunction.
It should be visible Saturday night too, i.e., September 18, 2021.
After that the configuration of the conjunction will shift. The moon will start drifting away to the East. On the 20th the three will be in a near straight-line. OK?
