Lunar Occultation

A nice little show in the sky tonight for the eurofolks if you missed it the last few night.

The "Venus & Jupiter" Show
As November ends, the two brightest planets perform a dazzling dance in the evening twilight. They're joined by a slender crescent Moon on December 1st, which makes for a pretty trio in the Americas — and which will cover Venus in spectacular fashion for lucky skywatchers in Europe.

I've only got UK times, can probably find them elsewhere for Netherlands but check outside around sunset to civil dusk for nice lighting (sunset roughly 4:15-4:20pm your time)

Clear skies here so should be fun \o/
