Around 7.30 this morning I glimpsed Mars, Jupiter and zubenelgenubi (alpha libra) - all in the same binocular field of view.
The conjunction is officially in the early hours of 7th January when the separation of Mars and Jupiter will be just 15 arcminutes but already it's a sight to behold.
The nearby star will again be zubenelgenubi not spica (as I said last night
).
