There is a 6 planet alignment happening so if you were waiting “ for the planets to line up” this is your chance. It was clear last night and you can see Jupiter and Saturn lined up. The photo was taken with a smart phone. Enjoy.

I think you meant Venus and Saturn. I was checking that out with binoculars the other night.

Here is something on the alignment. Enjoy. https://earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials/visible-planets-tonight-mars-jupiter-venus-saturn-mercury/ Watch the one on the January 25 alignment. They dispel the rumour that January 25 is significant to the alignment.

View attachment 260152At the time of day we took the shot. Jupiter was apparently dominant. I'll stick with Jupiter.

And just how far away are those heavenly objects? Asking for a friend...
Venus is 88 million kilometers from Earth during the time of that screenshot above.
