I guess tonight is supposed to be the best night to see it. We are scheduled for clear skies, so I will make the major effort to walk outside and look up as I haul the trash cans to the curb for tomorrow's pickup.
I noticed Jupiter and Saturn were pretty close a few weeks back when I was doing the trash detail here. I have actually seen all the solar system's planets and one former planet, Pluto with my own eyes. A friend has a 21 inch scope he hauled to the astronomy club's dark site. Neptune and Pluto are pretty dim. It was still a Planet when I saw it, so I can say I have seen all 9 planets. Earth is the easiest to see, look down.
The "kids of today" can never see the "Planet" of Pluto, it is just a dwarf planet or planetoid now.
This is an easy one to see tonight.
