Venus (magnitude -3.9) is about to get company. On July 11th through 12th, the crescent Moon will glide by Venus forming a striking sunset tableau. Looking west after sunset VENUS/MARS CONJUNCTION - JULY 12, 2021 Longer exposures after dark will reveal faint Mars (magnitude +1.8) only half a degree from Venus. It's a great way to end the day.
