Apparently there is going to be some spectacular stuff happening up in the heavens today in Europe (tomorrow for you in North/South America)-- December 1. And you don't need any equipment to see it:
"For people in the US, look west around sunset, clouds willing. Jupiter, Venus, and a sliver of a crescent moon will form a spectacular, tight triangle in the early evening sky, near the horizon. On Dec. 1 they will be so tightly packed that you?ll be able to cover them with your thumb at arms length.
And if you?re in the right spot in WESTERN EUROPE, you?ll get more than this function at the conjunction. The moon will actually cover Venus for a while ? an occultation."
By the way, for those of us in Europe, this will happen in the early afternoon, I believe.
