Every now and then, the planets are lit up enough to be seen with the naked eye. Some people got some pretty incredible shots!
Chilly dog walk this morning, but the sky is glorious! Jupiter and Venus, I believe. Stay warm, everyone!🌞 pic.twitter.com/8k7WS6bSLF

This is a pretty sight that doesn’t come out often. It’s a good idea to take it in when you can!
