[Chaos-l] tonight

[Tony Garcia]

Note that there will be a Jupiter / Moon conjunction Christmas evening.  If
I can I am going to try to run out somewhere locally and take a look.  ..
 And now that I look at the weather nevermind, 70% chance of rain and
overcast Tuesday night.

-- from sky and telescope
*Christmas conjunction* of the Moon and Jupiter, with Aldebaran right
nearby! Jupiter and the Moon are only a degree or two apart, depending on
your location (in the Americas) and the time of evening. Watch them change
separation and orientation as the night progresses. Binoculars show stars
of the big, loose Hyades cluster in their background.
