Tonight's night sky

[cowgrrl]

Did any of you(those of you in the Northern Hemisphere) happen to see the moon this evening? The moon with two rather bright objects (obviously planets) near it? I knew this had to be something unusual so I grabbed my camera when I got home and went outdoors to photograph it. Then I googled it. Sure enough it's a rare alignment of Jupiter and Venus with the moon. That was one of many articles about it.

I'm amazed my inexpensive digital camera did so well! Best night pic I've ever taken.

If I'm still around in 44 years I'll ask the nursing home staff to wheel me outdoors to have a look at the sky!

I don't expect to make 83...
these days, I am shooting for 50.
But if I am still around, I will look!
