EarthSky.org is a great site for information about astronomy and more. The charts and explanations of what you can see even without a telescope are fantastic.
Happy Observing!

Venus and Jupiter close together!
Venus and Jupiter have been moving closer together in the night sky during all of June. Tonight the sky was clear and we could see them clearly! That is Venus on the lower right and Jupiter close and above to the left.
This diagram of Venus and Jupiter orbits show why the two planets appear to be very close from our line of sight on Earth. They are so close together in the sky that you can cover them with one finger. Thanks to NASA for this great diagram.
