Conjunction

There was an amazing astronomical event this evening that became visible right around sunset. This is a photograph of the three heavenly bodies that for one day appeared very close to each other.  In my photograph, you can see the moon at the upper left of the triangle, the planet Jupiter on the upper right, and the planet Venus at the lower center. Tomorrow night at this time the moon will be a long way away from where it is tonight, thus making tonight really special.  I hope some of you managed to see this, even if by accident.  I began by using a longer focal length lens, to get just the three orbiting objects.  It was interesting, but no where near as good a photograph as this one, because of the trees, which give both a sense of place, and a sense of scale to the scene.
