From a dark location in west central Texas, near the historic site of Fort Lancaster, I caught Venus and Jupiter getting closer in the evening sky.  Compare this image to the one on May 8 to see the clear difference in the orientation of the stars owing to the 8 degree difference in latitude between Virginia and Texas.  On this evening, we see that Venus is almost clear of Taurus, so it will soon join Jupiter in Gemini as it speeds along toward their conjunction on June 8.  Unannotated image, Stars Labeled.
