00:00:01,968 --> 00:00:03,670
Greetings sky spotters -- Trace here!

2
00:00:03,770 --> 00:00:08,174
Mid-week we re going to get a lovely clump 
of two planets with our beautiful crescent

3
00:00:08,274 --> 00:00:09,509
moon, all right after sunset.

4
00:00:09,609 --> 00:00:10,677
It s so exciting!

5
00:00:10,777 --> 00:00:13,446
Pack an appetizer and head to sunset rock.

6
00:00:13,546 --> 00:00:16,216
Every town has one of those, right?

7
00:00:16,316 --> 00:00:20,453
Once you re all set, look SOUTH after sundown 
on November 18th and find a bright spot near

8
00:00:20,553 --> 00:00:22,188
the moon, that s Jupiter!

9
00:00:22,288 --> 00:00:25,592
On the the next night, the Moon is to the 
left of the other bright light: Saturn.

10
00:00:25,692 --> 00:00:27,460
Incredible!

11
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,764
I never get over that we can see our planetary 
pals out there as we all orbit this miasma

12
00:00:30,864 --> 00:00:32,732
of incandescent plasma.

13
00:00:32,832 --> 00:00:37,437
This event is what astronomers call a conjunction 
-- it means sky objects are near each other

14
00:00:37,537 --> 00:00:39,305
in the sky.

15
00:00:39,406 --> 00:00:43,243
The planets aren t ACTUALLY close to each 
other -- it just appears so from our position.

16
00:00:43,343 --> 00:00:47,180
This conjunction is good practice for NEXT 
month -- when we have a Great Conjunction.

17
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,280
Get ready, and keep lookin up!
