Salam and good day
I was watching tv when i suddenly remembered reading about the moon venus mars cluster which was supposed to happen tonight. I can't remember what triggered my memory, but it doesn't matter.
I ran out and looked up the sky. Sure enough, i could clearly see the moon below Venus. Venus looks like a very bright white star. Towards the right of Venus is the twin stars of Gemini and further up is Mars which appears as a small orange star.
I grabbed my phone and tried to get a photo of all the planets. Alas, it is not meant to be. I could only get the moon and venus as the other three are too faint to be captured by my phone camera.
So... here it is... the moon seen below venus.
Tmrw night the moon will be positioned above venus and below mars.
This is the time when i wish i have a fairly decent camera.
Anyway, the next time you go to put out the trash at night, don't forget to glance up. The night sky is always a sight to behold.
