Venus and Saturn putting on a nice show

by William Schultz


Thanks to Steve and Mark on this.

This is our best family backyard daytime astronomy adventure yet. Venus is stunningly brilliant against the clear blue sky -- nekked ete. With the XT-8 set up, the crescent of Venus was an easy target and it took just a while to find Saturn -- just about a degree to Venus's north.
