Mission impossible? See Venus and Jupiter close together in the morning twilight sky.

(Posted 12 November 2017) Venus and Jupiter will be very close on the morning of Monday 13 November 2017. They will just over one Moon width apart. However, they will be very low on the Eastern horizon. I would suggest taking binoculars outside to help you look for them.
