Tonight see Jupiter, Venus, and cresent moon together in SW

Postby justTripn » Mon Dec 01, 2008 1:50 pm

Here is your easy chance to locate two planets in the sky. Jupiter, Venus, and the cresent moon will be close together low in the Southwestern sky

From the AOL article:

"On Monday night, the three brightest objects in the night sky -- Jupiter, Venus and the moon -- will line up close together in a spectacular sight, closer than they will appear until 2052. One expert said the alignment, captured here in 2004, will "be a head-turner." "

Too bad we've got a solid cloud cover. Anyone getting a good view?

No! Unhappily no. :(
Well yes. I continue to write. And on Fanfiction.Net, for those who want, it is possible to cast a glance at my latest efforts. We arrived to
The Ears of the Elves, chapter Forty-four


And here is the beginning of the whole story.

But, I must say, you could also find something else on Fanfiction.net written by me. If you want.

Just was out to the library and the craft store and I saw 'em in the sky! Once I knew which way was SW, it was pretty cool! :)

I SAW IT! My mom called and told me. Said they said on the news it was like a rare event for them to be in a triangle or something?

Anyway, looked awesome. I noticed it the moment I stepped outside last night.

I couldn't see anything because it was too foggy.
