http://www.spaceweather.com/VENUS AND SATURN: Step outside this evening at sunset, just as the sky is fading to black, and look west. Venus and Saturn are having a beautiful close encounter. On Saturday, June 30th, they will be only 2/3o apart, which means you can hide them both behind the tip of your index finger held at arm's length. If you have a backyard telescope, set it up. Even small 'scopes reveal the rings of Saturn and the surprising crescent shape of Venus.
