About the Title: Jupiter and Venus over a city street. Jovian refers to Jupiter, Love refers to Venus, the goddess of love. (See Jovian Love.)

Jupiter, apparent magnitude ~-2, is above Venus, apparent magnitude ~-4. This was taken from the sidewalk in front of my apartment. Jupiter and Venus were bright enough to contest with the city lights. See also Jovian Love and Love's Kingly Lights.
