Greetings sky spotters -- Trace here!

Mid-week we re going to get a lovely clump
of two planets with our beautiful crescent

00:08.274 --> 00:09.509 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
moon, all right after sunset.

00:09.609 --> 00:10.677 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
It s so exciting!

00:10.777 --> 00:13.446 align:left position:77.5% line:89% size:12.5%
Pack an appetizer and head to sunset rock.

00:13.546 --> 00:16.216 align:left position:85% line:89% size:5%
Every town has one of those, right?

Once you re all set, look SOUTH after sundown
on November 18th and find a bright spot near

00:20.553 --> 00:22.188 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
the moon, that s Jupiter!

00:22.288 --> 00:25.592 align:left position:77.5% line:83% size:12.5%
On the the next night, the Moon is to the
left of the other bright light: Saturn.

00:25.692 --> 00:27.460 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
Incredible!

00:27.560 --> 00:30.764 align:left position:72.5% line:83% size:17.5%
I never get over that we can see our planetary
pals out there as we all orbit this miasma

00:30.864 --> 00:32.732 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
of incandescent plasma.

00:32.832 --> 00:37.437 align:left position:67.5% line:83% size:22.5%
This event is what astronomers call a conjunction
-- it means sky objects are near each other

00:37.537 --> 00:39.305 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
in the sky.

00:39.406 --> 00:43.243 align:left position:77.5% line:83% size:12.5%
The planets aren t ACTUALLY close to each
other -- it just appears so from our position.

00:43.343 --> 00:47.180 align:left position:77.5% line:83% size:12.5%
This conjunction is good practice for NEXT
month -- when we have a Great Conjunction.

00:47.280 --> 00:51.280 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Get ready, and keep lookin up!
