Ok, so how fitting is it that we are finishing our study of things in the sky and the last few nights have been the best nights to view Jupiter and Venus in the western sky. Last night my family and I ate dinner under the stars and talked about these two planets. If you have some binoculars or even a telescope, last night you could see Jupiter's moons. Hopefully tonight they will be just as clear and you and your family can go out and take a look. I explained to my kids that Venus looked bigger in the sky because it is closer to us, but that Jupiter is much farther away and really A LOT bigger. Have your scientist share his or her observations with us too!
