When is the best time to see Venus and Jupiter?
Look for these planets on November 24 about 45 minutes after sunset, when twilight has set in and the sky is dark enough for Venus and Jupiter to dominate. Sunset is at 4:33 p.m. in New York, and its at 4:45 p.m. in Los Angeles, but you should check the exact time of sunset for your location.
Where can you see Venus and Jupiter?
Look to the southwest to see this special celestial show. Youll find the planets about 7° above the horizon, so it might be wise to get up somewhere high with a good, clear view to the southwest. Venus will be just 1.4° to the lower left of Jupiter. Thats very closeit's about the size of the width of a finger if you outstretch your hand and close one eye.
Will they appear close together all week?
Yes, but Sunday, November 24 is the best time to look because thats the closest conjunction the astronomical term for when planets appear to be close together in the sky, as observed from Earth. Although they will appear to be reasonably close to each other all week after Sunday, they'll appear to drift significantly by Friday. For example, on Monday, the two planets will be 2° apart, on Tuesday 2.8°, and on Wednesday 3.7°. Because they will be the two brightest planets in the sky, the entire event should be visible, given clear skies.

Where can you see Venus and Jupiter?
This is just a guess mind you, but I think its a pretty good guess.
The sky.
“When is the best time to see Venus and Jupiter? “
A night with VENUS, and a lifetime with Mercury.
BFL
Do I have to say it?
WHAT ABOUT URANUS?????
I teach a gen ed course to nurses. None of them ever know that at least a year of mercury rubbings and neoarsphenamine shots was the pre-penicillin treatment for syphilis. When I point out that it isn't much different in logistics than radiation and chemo for cancer used today, they see oncology with very altered eyes.
(The connection to the course is Scott Joplin and Robert Schumann, both of whom died of the effects of either tertiary syphilis or of the mercury used in treatment.)
“And Jupiter aligns with Mars.....”

It's scheduled to be renamed to Yourectum.
Her is a series of paintings done by C.M. Russell on the life of a cowboy and his night with Venus.
Just a little sunshine,
Just a little rain.
Just a little pleasure,
just a little pain.
Look up.
Cool. Last month it was Jupiter and Saturn in the southern sky just before and after sunset.
Guess the pairing isn’t all that rare.
That should only be visible at your next visit to the Proctologist.
Venus has biceps and shoulders like the William’s sisters of Tennis fame.

Same words I said to my crew Chief one night back in 1969 Alaska. He was griping he had never seen the Northern Lights and he had been there(drunk) two whole weeks!
I simply said...”Well, look up.” He was flabergasted at the sight.
