    Looking west at sunset

    On Tuesday night, you'll want to do some planet gazing. Venus and Jupiter are close together (from our point of view, at least), and a crescent moon will "leap up from the sun's glare and join the two planets," according to NASA's Dr. Tony Phillips. "Together, they'll form a compact triangle that will simply knock your socks off."
