Inspired by a hot #AllSky7 frame - https://allsky7.net/index.html?&station=AMS216#liveview - from the roof of a school a few kilometers away (I had once facilitated its installation) that seemed to show the evening planets I rushed onto our own roof just before 11 p.m. And against all odds managed to pick the closing pair of #Jupiter and #Venus out of the muck! Both pictures heavily boosted in contrast.
How to watch Jupiter and Venus as they join in the sky this week
You may have noticed two bright "stars" in the west after sunset. Those aren't stars but rather two planets: Jupiter and Venus. And they're on their way for a beautiful meet-up in the days ahead.

As a science fiction author with stories set on Venus, I must know what the color of sky is like on that planet.

Most people think it's orange. Most Google searches will tell you the same. But that's the sky seen from the surface.
