“We didn’t have to go outside,” Fairy commented while pointing to a window in our loft. There the bright Jupiter and Venus peered, next to each other, through our window. We had just come back into our condo after dressing up for the cold, Colorado air to look at them outside. Still, it was worth leaving the building for a bit to see not only this pair, but the bright gibbous moon next Saturn in the southwest, with Longs Peak in the distance, aglow in the moonlight.
The next few mornings, Jupiter (upper left) and Venus (lower right) will continue to command attention as they slowly drift apart in the morning twilight, brightly outshining anything over the eastern horizon; a bit of glory waiting to be seen by anyone who chooses to or has to be awake at that time.
