| Two weeks after their conjunction, Venus, now at shining at magnitude -4.00, has moved well away from Jupiter, 13° 37' 15" to the east (almost straight up in our evening view). Jupiter has dimmed to -2.08 as it sinks further down to its solar conjunction even though it is moving quickly against the stars at least by its standards. We can also see that Venus has crossed north of the ecliptic and is also spending its last hours in Pisces. Uranus up above, at magnitude +5.81, is still south of the ecliptic. |
