Cresent Moon, Venus, Jupiter Conjunction – 12/01/08
December 1st, 2008 by Hersey
The Moon, Venus, and Jupiter came together tonight to form a close triangle in the southern sky just before sunset. All three were visible through binoculars well before the sun set. I was able to capture the three just after 4:00 PM EST.
I actually took over 180 pictures between 4:00 and 6:00 PM. These are just three of those that I put together quickly.
The Moon and Venus - Just after 4:00 PM EST
You can’t see Jupiter in the picture above but it is there.
Moon, Venus, and Jupiter - Just after 4:30 PM EST
Moon, Venus, Jupiter after dark - About 5:45 PM
Very cool!
The clouds started moving in just after 6:00 PM and the temperature started falling pretty quickly so I called it an early night.
