The Moon and Jupiter

Go look. Jupiter will be bright as hell and right next to the moon. By the end of the month, Venus will be in conjunction and you'll see all three snuggled up.

That really bright object near the moon tonight is Jupiter. Venus, which is even brighter as seen from Earth than Jupiter, will be climbing up toward Jupiter all month, reaching conjunction on 11/30 or 12/1 depending on where you are. Right now, Venus is near the horizon but will be close to Jupiter toward the end of the month.

Hopefully you were looking up for some earthshine on Halloween as well.

This is nice consolation for a bright moon during the mid-November Leonids this year.
