The next time the three will be as close and visible as this week will be 2052.
YWN has readers throughout the world. Where will this be visible?

Starting Thanksgiving evening, Jupiter and Venus will begin moving closer so that by Sunday and Monday, they will appear 2 degrees apart, which is about a finger width held out at arm’s length, said Alan MacRobert, senior editor at Sky and Telescope magazine. Then on Monday night, they will be joined by a crescent moon right next to them, he said.
Look in the southwestern sky around twilight – no telescope or binoculars needed. The show will even be visible in cities if it’s a clear night.

Read the article and it still doesn’t say which states / countries will be able to see this.
Israel? Mexico? Sydney? London? New York?
Southwestern sky isn’t an answer as this depends on where you are.

It shouldn’t make a difference. Certainly anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere and in most places in the Southern (the extreme Southern Hemisphere might not see it because the sun will be too bright all day).
