At around sunset Thursday November 28^th look toward the western horizon for the 2.5-day old thin waxing crescent Moon to be close to the inner planet Venus, and an outer planet, Jupiter. The Moon will be about 1-2^o from Venus and about 6^o from Jupiter.
   Too dim to be seen with the naked eye at 8-9^th magnitude and about 3^o from the Moon is the Dwarf Planet Ceres.
   The planet Saturn is about 12^o to the east from the Moon – which is where the Moon will be on the evening of November 29^th. The two will be about 1-2^o from one another.

   Both of these conjunctions between the Moon and planets are tight enough such that both groupings will easily fit within the field of view of binoculars.
