Anybody notice the night skies tonight for the Cresent Moon and the planets Venus and Jupiter at it's side?

Spectacular Sight Tonight With A Rare Cresent MOON

Took my daughter out to the park to take a look through our telescope and it won't be seen again till 2052 atleast in this configuration.

    I DID! Until now, I couldn't figure out how those two airplanes managed to stay next to the moon my entire 45 minute drive home. :)

    believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.

    actually thats pretty cool. First one seems like time lapse ,has that movement element to it or you moved.

    Second is very good.

    HA! I'm not normally excited about environmental sites, but last night I saw it while driving and thought "damn that's really pretty", then just dismissed it as me getting older and sentimental or something. That's cool that it was sort of a once to twice in a lifetime occurrence.
  • mca47mca47 Posts: 13,300
    Yeah, that is really cool. I noticed it a little while ago but now it's much more distinct!

    Neato! :)

    I saw it and immediately began thinking/singing cliche lyrics to a made-up tune called, none other than, 'December Moon'.
    I love to turn you on

    My daughter made the comment while freezing looking through our telescope..*Dad won't you be dead the next time this happens again in 2052* I told her yeah maybe but if I'm still around you'll be pushing me around in a wheelchair and helping me to find my urinal. :) All she could say was "Huh"
