If you're awake at 0500, take a look. They were spectacular this AM. It's been cloudy here so I haven't been able to watch the progression. Last time I saw them, Jupiter was 3 degrees from Venus, below and North. This AM Jupiter was 45" away from Venus by my calculation (just about 1.5 Sun diameters) above and south of Venus. Well worth it!
