The neighbor told Gareth that Jupiter and Venus were approaching conjuction and this hadn't happened in 50 some years, so we got out the telescope and all went out to look at the sky just after sunset. On looking it up, the actual conjunction didn't take place until Nov. 30, but this looked pretty spectacular with them perfectly lined up like this. Jupiter is the top one, and of course my camera does not do them justice at all, although it did capture Jupiter looking a little more reddish.
