Thanks to your heads up I viewed it last night. Caught it just right with the planets as close as they would get.

It cleared enough last night to get a good look at them. 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.

I really like that one of looking back on your house on a clear evening with snow as well. It's like a Christmas Card.

They are very far apart now. They got right up next to each other for a while there. 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.

Holy smoke! 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 youβll see it out the passenger side window and then after that itβll disappear in the rear view mirror behind the sun. It like repeats and stuff.

When Jupiter aligns with Mars then peace will guide the planets and love will steer the stars.
