I saw this at 4am this morning from eastern Long Island! I was getting my truck ready for work and saw the two lights pretty low in the sky and I was wondering if they were planets. Pretty cool

I’ve been watching this event from my Western Uinta back yard for 4 nights.

First morning I got view of Venus and Jupiter as orange stars rising over the mountains. There was a little smoke from a fire nearby but saw some serious brightness from both planets. Jupiter of to the lower left side of Venus.

2nd morning was a few clouds but I got a glimpse of the closest conjunction - spectacular! Jupiter still to the left of Venus.

3rd morning - clear and Jupiter straight above Venus. So amazing!

4th night - heavy cloud cover. Even the moon obscured.

Im’a goin’ buy me a telescope.
