it says
"As seen from much of the world, the full-looking waning gibbous moon and the blazing planet Jupiter are closest together for the month tonight. Simply look for a brilliant point of light in the vicinity of tonight’s moon. That’ll be Jupiter. The two heavenly objects will rise in tandem over the eastern horizon at dusk or early evening."
