NASA just put out a press release about the Moon and Venus in the western sky after sunset. The Moon will be slightly below Venus tonight, next to it tomorrow night, and between Venus and Jupiter Sunday night. No telescope needed as the Moon, Venus and Jupiter are the three brightest things out there after sunset. You do have to look fairly soon after sunset because they will set fairly quickly (the Moon sets at 7:00pm in Racine tonight). Next month, things get really cool when Venus, Jupiter and the Moon all have a really close gathering December 1st (don't worry...I will post a reminder!)
However, knowing weather in Wisconsin, I would check them out tonight since the forecast is for clear skies!

Just ran outside to see this. Beautiful...Tried to take a couple of pics-none turned out. (Too many trees in the way). Better luck tomorrow.
Missed it. Don't have a good view of the western sky, though.

I was busy (but an excellent busy) and missed it...
Don't forget ser, still a nice view the next two nights!
