    Venus Kisses Saturn (evening)

    After several months of courtship, the motion of the bright planet Venus will pass only 2 degrees from 200 times fainter Saturn on Saturday evening, January 18. The duo will be close enough to share the view in binoculars and backyard telescopes using a low magnification eyepiece. Try to view the conjunction after dusk, as the planets will be dropping into the trees around 8 p.m. local time. If Saturday is cloudy, you can see them a bit more widely separated on the surrounding nights.
