There’s a meetup happening in the western sky: the crescent Moon sits close to Jupiter, with Venus below them. Jupiter and Venus will continue to cozy up until March 1, when they’ll be at their closest.

Have you spotted these three in the sky? Snap a picture and send it to us! pic.twitter.com/8W1iihFz3w
