From London the pair will be best seen setting in a fully dark sky on 13 March
There is a beautiful conjunction this week between the crescent moon and Jupiter.
The chart shows the view looking west from London at 21:00 GMT on 13 March. By this time the pair will appear in a fully dark sky, but will be setting. Jupiter is so bright, however, that it will be easily visible before this time, as will the moon, shining through the twilight.
