It’s the season of deep darkness, just beyond the winter solstice, and we take our light where we can find it. My friend, Bob King known to many readers as “Astro Bob” had told us about the conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter this week. We could look for these two bright planets, King said, close together in the southwestern sky at dusk.
I happened to be driving home one evening a few days ago when I remembered King’s suggestion. I was heading southwest. I looked up into the darkness over the Duluth hillside and whoa! there they were. Two brilliant white dots piercing the blue-black evening sky.
