No stars were visible so it was still too hazy for the best view. I doubt we'll see them for the next few nights. “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” ― George Orwell It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.

Did they switch places, i.e., is the one that was on top now on the bottom? I assume their distance from each other will continue to grow now.

We left Jupiter in the rear view mirror (evening sky) back in March, four months ago, now already we can see it out the windshield (morning sky). Venus meanwhile, passing us on the inside lane, appears to be diving back into the evening sun.

Venus is about to pass us on the inside. We are gaining on Jupiter and gonna pass it on the inside, so in a couple of months you’ll see it out the passenger side window and then after that it’ll disappear in the rear view mirror behind the sun.
