Jupiter and Venus - Dancing with the Stars

Okay, not stars, planets, but it is still dancing.  

Okay it isn't, but it is still an astronomical rarity that is worth watching.

What is it?

Take a look at the sky just at twilight.  See the moon and then look for the two very bright 'stars' close to it in the sky.  The brightest one is Venus and the other is Jupiter.  

You will seldom see these two planets in such close conjunction in the sky and they make quite a show along with the moon.  That is it.

Tonight they will be so close to each other they might appear to overlap.  Over the next few days they will separate again. Kind of like dancing, see?

You will have to look very low in the sky and just at twilight (dusk for those of you who only know twilight from vampire fiction).
