In today's image, we see 10 images of the sky showing the planets Venus and Jupiter from February 21 through March 2. We can follow as Jupiter sinks lower and lower in the sky while Venus gets higher and higher. The were closest together on March 2 when they were separated by less than the diameter of the full moon.
