Our Saturday morning dawned partly cloudy, somewhat spoiling our view of the first day of the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter, but as compensation we
were treated to a bright meteor.  Judging from its direction, it could have been a very late Lyrid.  Jupiter is at magnitude -2.15 and Venus at -4.10,
and according to my planetarium software, are separated by 30' 17".  That means that the Sun or the Moon would fit almost exactly between the two!
