Veuns an Saturn meet in the evening.

Venus, Saturn and Regulus line up on Saturday evening at 6:00 pm ACST, click image to enlarge it and see the sickle of Leo.

The almost final act of the Venus - Saturn hi-jinks occurs this week. Venus and Saturn rapidly draw closer, by Saturday 30 June and Sunday 1 July they will be less than a fingewidth apart. If you have a small telescope, you can see the ringed world and the crescent Venus in the same low power eyepiece field.

Venus is the exceedingly obvious very bright planet above the north-western horizon. The best time to observe is between 5:45 and 7:30 pm. This will be very attractive to watch over the coming nights.
