According to NASA, most stargazers in America will have a great chance to see two planets in close proximity during the predawn night sky from May 27 through May 30.
While Jupiter and Mars will still be quite far from each other, they will appear to be quite close during what is called a planetary conjunction, to be seen with the naked eye.
At their closest point throughout the period, Mars and Jupiter will be separated by just .6 degrees, which will equate to about the width of a raised finger for those on the ground. Mars will be found to the lower right of Jupiter.

Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
And let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me

Stop it with the early-morning pillow talk. I am getting all tingly.

Maybe Nadler or Uncle Joe..

You may not touch my twigs and berries! If I can't have your azz, can I kick it?
Apologies to Tom Clancy...

With the consumption of baked beans and beer this weekend, the gas giant will be visible everywhere.
