Two planets in alignment

Those of you who have been looking into the western sky after sunset over the past week or more would have noticed two bright objects getting progressively closer, Jupiter and Venus getting into a rare alignment. I don't know if they will get closer tomorrow. Here's the shot I took tonight (July 1) from our backyard.


A better one reproduced here is from Business Insider (http://www.businessinsider.com.au/how-to-watch-the-venus-jupiter-conjunction-of-june-30-2015-6)  obviously taken through a telescope with the moons of Jupiter clearly visible.
