They just said on my local news (so yours might be talking about it too) that there's a rare planetary alignment tonight. Jupiter and Venus will be in near perfect alignment with Earth. Last time was 2,000 years ago. Will result in what appears to be an extra bright star in the night sky, tonight, where one normally sees Venus (after sunset on western horizon) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencet...s-Illusion-makes-planets-close-night-sky.html
