Jupiter, Venus and Mercury - Planets Form Rare Conjunction
If you look up at the sky tonight, you may be in for a spectacular treat. A celestial dance between three different planets will occur on Friday and into the weekend. The triple conjunction will include Venus, Jupiter and Mercury - and should make for some great sky gazing.
The three planets will group together in the west-northwest evening sky. While you should be able to see the planets tonight, the closest they'll be will on the evening of May 26 where they'll appear to form a triangle just above the horizon. The best time to see them will be about 30 to 60 minutes after the sun sets below the horizon, while the orange glow still hangs in the sky.
