Welcome to 201k.com - A Commonwealth Perspective.

According to Boston.com,

Venus and Jupiter, the two brightest planets, have been marching toward each other for more than a month in the southwestern sky at dusk. As they've drawn closer together, the sight has been catching more people's eyes, and now the show is reaching its climax.

This evening, weather permitting, you will see Venus and Jupiter blazing about a finger's width apart at arm's length. Look early enough and, far to their lower right, you can find the crescent moon just above the horizon.

We're not convinced it's correct to say that Jupiter and Venus have been "marching" towards each other; Mars marches, but Jupiter "thunders" and Venus "sashays."

The Crescent Moon, of course, "slices" its way across the sky.

For the record, Mercury "slides," Neptune "swims," the Earth "spins," and Saturn "plows."

Meanwhile, Uranus "reels."
