Frank,
is the relative movement of Venus and Jupiter fast enough for a "lunar"?On Tue, Jun 30, 2015 at 2:41 AM, Greg Rudzinski <NoReply_Rudzinski@fer3.com> wrote:

Encourage your non-celestial friends to look to the west tonight between 15 and 45 minutes after sunset for a lovely view of the planets together. If you own a telescope, find them in the late afternoon sky. Two planets in daylight.. that's a nice show.
