Jupiter, Venus and Moon- three of thebrightest objects up there at night - will be closest to each other then. Jupiter and Venus have been rapidly coming towards each other for the last few days, a phenomenon that will not be visible against till 2012. And soon they will have the Moon for company. "Look towards the southwest and you will see something very pretty - Venus and Jupiter beaming together through the twilight. The two closely-spaced planets are about to be joined by the slender crescent Moon for a spectacular three-way conjunction," Nehru Planetarium director N Rathnashree said. The three brightest objects in the night sky will be gathered so tightly together that you can hide them all behind your thumb held at arm's length. The Nehru Planetarium will put out telescopes at Old Fort in the capital.
