    So. . . that’s about where the Jupiter-Venus conjuction was last night. . . I didn’t get to see it, due to clouds, but it was a pretty big deal in some circles. . . I wanted to get pictures *sigh*

      That’s why I was researching Regulus .. it was in the diagrams of the Star of Bethlehem conjunction. I was going to blog the Jupiter-Venus conjunction, but I couldn’t find a good photo and I got distracted by how cool Regulus is with its double star orbit!

    I just got curious how Leo related to the conjunction, so lined up a constellation image with a sky map.
