EarthSky Facebook friend Janet Furlong in Culpeper, Virginia took this photo on January 19, 2013. The two brightest objects are the moon and Jupiter. View larger. Janet says: Step outside and lift your head up and view the sky. Totally gorgeous … so much to see tonight.

Mark your calendar for January 21, 2013 – a close conjunction of the moon and Jupiter as seen from around the world – the closest the moon and Jupiter will appear in North America until the year 2026! Courtesy http://earthsky.org/

Here’s the chart for the time of partile conjunction. It’s set for Greenwich Mean Time (22 January 2013 @ 03.12.49 ) Using GMT makes it easier to adapt the chart to your own time zone. May you have clear skies and warm mitttens !
