    Jupiter and Venus Conjunction

    I thought this was interesting so I thought I'd share. Right now and for another 1hr 20mins Melissa McGrath from NASA will be streaming a live color Telescope view of Venus, Jupiter and our Moon. Plus a live chat if you want to ask questions. Put your cellphone down for a second and check out the amazing view. How often do you get to see our Moon and planets this close with this much detail. Oh and this conjunction won't look this good again for many years.

    She's looking at Venus right now, but a few minutes ago she was looking at our Moon and it was like you were there very close view.

    Yeah the moon view is the best, because it's so close it's like your in a space capsule floating above it. Venus isn't in great detail and Jupiter looks like it's spinning really fast. If you go outside Venus is above our Moon and is really bright, It looks amazing!
