[at-l] Go out and look at the moon right now

[rbenhameda@comcast.net (Rami)]

The moon is a crescent with Venus just outside the top right side.
Mars is just below Jupiter and slightly to the right.
Saturn is further below Mars and along the same angle almost on the horizon.
Far up above and to the left is Jupiter.
Think of a straight line (almost) connecting Jupiter at the top, then Venus, Mars and Saturn almost at the horizon.
This line runs from 10 o'clock to 5 o'clock with the moon slightly to the left of the center point.

  You all should go out and look at the moon _right_ now=> 9PM on the east
  coast, Venus is within a few degrees and will almost touch the moon.
  Jupiter is above them and Saturn below. An impressive view from here in
  Florida, the sky is still indigo and the moon is a crescent. This is
  just about your last chance to see the planets together until 2040 I
  think.
