    (Known as a conjunction, the pair are set to come less than 1/3 of a degree apart on the evening of June 30, but for the next week you’ll be able to see the evening pairing within 3° of one another. For the past few days they have been slowly creeping up on one another, becoming the focus of skywatchers.)

    I tried to look up the sky last night and tonight (July 1) but I wasn't so sure. Have you witnessed this? Hope you took a photo and share it here. Thanks!
