GREAT CONJUNCTION: Last night, the three brightest objects in the night sky converged, producing a triple-conjunction of stunning beauty. Venus, Jupiter and the crescent Moon were crowded into a patch of sky just a few degrees across when Steve Lantz took this picture from the Garden of the Gods near Colorado Springs:
"The rock formation in the foreground is called Kissing Camels rock," says Lantz. "We had some clouds, but that was no problem. Venus and the Moon beamed right through them."

John and I saw this amazing sight right here in Kherson, only the crescent moon appeared to be hanging from the two planets. It was stunningly beautiful and even though I did not get a photograph of it, I will never forget it.
Great to read a bit of your blog, Cindie.
