Starry Night Software Look eastward about three hours after sunset Thursday night to see a fine astronomical treat: Jupiter rising in close proximity to the moon, surrounded by two of the closest star clusters in the sky, the Pleiades and the Hyades.

Look in the eastern sky the next few nights and you will see a celestial treat. Full moon was Monday, so the waning gibbous moon will be rising a few hours past sunset. Jupiter, a month away from opposition on Dec. 2, will also be rising a few hours past sunset. The result will be a conjunction: a close encounter between two astronomical bodies.
