Jupiter and Zuben Elgenubi

If you go out in the evening about 8pm for the next week you can see the planet Jupiter passing just above the star Zuben Elgenubi in the constellation Libra. Look low in the south-west. The brightest object will be Jupiter. Take a look through binoculars and you'll see that Zuben Elgenubi is a nice wide double star. The planet and star(s) will be closest together on Monday or Tuesday nights.
