The two planets will remain fairly close in the sky for days. It’s not only something for this morning, Monday, Nov 13, although they will be at their closest this AM.

See above diagram.

“Two of the five bright planets – Saturn and Mercury – are evening planets, but only Saturn is clearly visible after nightfall in early November, 2017.

Mercury is lost in the sunset glare during the first half of the month and will likely be seen after mid-month.

The other three bright planets – dazzlingly bright Venus, extremely bright Jupiter and super-faint Mars – adorn the morning sky, before sunup.

Venus and Jupiter will have a spectacular conjunction – albeit low in the sky – around November 13 [for several days].”
