The Virtual Telescope Project will show the planets meeting in the night sky on Wednesday (March 1) and Thursday (March 2). Here's how to watch.
Last evening near and after sunset, I did view Jupiter and Venus together :) I will wait and see for this evening, could be more clouds in my area near sunset time.
Observed 1730-1830 EST/2230-2330 UT. Some very good views of Jupiter and Venus this evening about 77 arcminutes apart. I used my 90-mm refractor telescope with eyepieces that allowed 25x to 40x views. TeleVue 40-mm plossl , TeleVue 32-mm plossl , and Orion Sirius 25-mm plossl . The #12 Yellow filter allowed for easier viewing of Venus. Bright gibbous shape planet. At Jupiter cloud bands visible and the Galilean moons Ganymede, Io, Europa on one side, Callisto on the other side.
