11/12/2017 – Ephemeris Extra – Venus and Jupiter will appear together tomorrow morning
November 12, 2017
Just a quick note. I’ll talk about it in more detail tomorrow on the program, but this post will get you a full day heads up. Venus and Jupiter have been approaching one another, at least from the Earth’s point of view for some time. Monday morning their path’s will seem to cross, with Jupiter heading away from the Sun and Venus heading toward the Sun.
Venus and Jupiter in conjunction at 7 a.m. November 13, 2017. Venus will be 6 times brighter than Jupiter. They will appear half the width of the Moon apart. Created using Stellarium.
These planets will rise at 6:22 a.m., a bit more than an hour before sunrise, at 7:36 a.m.
The times given are for the Traverse City/Interlochen area of Michigan. They may be different for your location.
