Details:
Two days ago I managed to snap a picture at the two 'stars' that are visible in these days evenings from all over the northern hemisphere.
Jupiter and Venus are the brightest planets in the sky and they are really well placed for a visual observation just after sunset.
These two pictures are taken from the city center of Pisa, over the river Arno and the buildings surrounding it. I waited for good colours in the pictures and I decided to put these four in a double comparison. In the first one Jupiter is in the 'Belt of Venus' always opposed to sunset, while Venus itself is basked in the twilight colours. In the second one, Jupiter is visibile over the many lights of the Lungarni, while Venus is lower and more and more bright!
