We had about perfect conditions last night for the viewing, 50 degrees, no breeze, and perfect clear skies. Jupiter is much brighter, and Saturn is just to the 3 or 4 O'clock position. No doubt in the era before electricity, (most of human history) people would notice the planets and that they are close together. I have read that most of the travelers in those times learned the positions of the constellations, certainly the north star, and the visible planets. So a wise man would know that is was the two planets moving in the sky as they always do, but they appear close together. Of course for most of human history people thought the Earth was the center of the universe.
Today is is supposed to be in the mid 60s! And winter has officially started.
