Won't see this for another 44 years

Still trying to get a really good picture with the only camera I own, a Nikon P&S. There's still a few hours to keep trying.

From Farmer's Almanac online:
Quote:
The year's most striking conjunction blazes on the 1st, an hour after sunset as Venus, Jupiter, and the Moon form a brilliant triangle, 15 degrees high up, in the southwest. The two planets stay reasonably close together for a few more nights.

I noticed the other night that two planets were aligned right on top of each other, I assumed it was mars and venus... however neither had a red tint to it making me wonder. Must have been Jupiter, pretty cool!

David,

Thanks! I saw it tonight and last as well. I wondered and assumed it was Venus and Jupiter as it was still too early to see any stars. Beautiful, God is Awsome.

I was a little late to the party tonight. A bit of haze, the moon was low and I ran out of viewing ability.
