Get your mind out of the gutters!
Having said that, if you look up at the night sky tonight, you’ll get to see an unusual astronomical sight. The planetary stand-ins for the God of War and the Goddess of Love will be in a rare close pairing tonight and tomorrow.
Look west in the twilight hours Friday and Saturday and you’ll be able to see the conjunction with your own eyes, provided the clouds don’t get in the way. Check out Sky and Telescopes graphics of the event below!
