  Venus and Jupiter will light up the pre-dawn sky over Victoria the next few mornings, coming so close together they almost appear to touch.
  Take a look at the southeast horizon about 6 a.m. for the spectacular view. They will appear to be closest Friday morning when they are about 1 degree apart. That's about the same width as the moon.
   The highlight of the show will be the morning of Feb. 4. That's when Jupiter, Venus and the moon - the three brightest objects in the night sky - form a triangle. They will be within 5 degrees of each other.
   For a detailed report on the event, check the www.space.com Web site.
