Reminder: When the sun goes down tonight, step outside and look west. Do you see a pair of lights beaming through the rosy glow of sunset? That would be Venus and Jupiter: the two bright planets are converging for a beautiful close encounter. They'll be side-by-side for the next few days.

Above: "It's awesome to see Venus and Jupiter shining only 2° apart in deep twilight," says photographer Mariano Ribas of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Never take someont for granted
Hold every person close to your heart
Because you might wake up one day
And realize that you have lost a diamond
While you were too busy collecting stones...
