Today:
Viewing is tricky, requiring a flat horizon, and probably binoculars, but this evening Venus and Saturn are very close together, very low in the west, and just after sunset, between roughly 6:30 and 6:50 PM. The much brighten Venus will be easier to spot, with Saturn barely above and to the left. Tomorrow evening, you’ll see the effects of Venus’s orbit, shifting to slightly higher than Saturn.
