My son and I were out driving that night of the convergence of Venus, Jupiter and the Moon and took a good look at it. They were beautiful, and I remember remarking that there was probably some chatter about this event on the star gazing sites. I asked a friend who edits a newsletter for the Fort Worth star group and he said yes, it was quite a nice event and they looked forward to it.

The McDonald Observatory is here in Texas and over the years they sponsored some short star programs on the radio and television, though I haven't seen the one for years. The strange-looking fellow who walks down that Milky Way path is probably still out there.

Stardate seems to be from McDonald, but they probably have links to other groups.
