#Skyblog12 #BackyardAstronomy "On the evening of May 19, the Moon hangs between Venus and Jupiter in the western sky, and together they reveal something you don’t usually see: the ecliptic, the plane of our solar system.

🔭 Look west about 45 to 60 minutes after sunset. Venus appears first, even in bright twilight. Jupiter reveals itself as the sky darkens. The crescent Moon connects them. No equipment needed." -- Secrets of the Universe on Instagram
