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.

Usually I'm kinda cynical about these celestial alignments, but that was strangely beautiful tonight.

I wonder if we'll get a repeat performance this evening? I'll be looking at the sky...
