Venus/Jupiter? Where's the MOON? edit

(Supposed to set here, southern MD, @ 10:02 p.m.)

Bright planets Venus and Jupiter: Watch!
The bright planets Venus and Jupiter have crept closer all month. Then the moon passed them. Spectacular! Keep watching. There's more to come!

I've been admiring the show but was too lazy to find out what I was looking at. Now I know!
