Details:
It is hard to find words sometimes, so I used a phrase that Leslie C. Peltier wrote in his autobiography "Starlight Nights," in describing these same two planets in conjunction within Sagittarius on the evening of his first comet discovery: November 13, 1925. "Beyond the trees along the Auglaize River, Jupiter and Venus made a striking pair just above the overturned Milk Dipper in the low southwest."
Here they are entangled in the branches of our neighbor's bare trees, over 97 years later.
