Tonight is just a quick post of a couple pictures. The moon, Venus, and Jupiter were in a line tonight. The best part is the 4% Waxing Gibbous Moon that is just above the horizon hanging over the city lights of Plattsburgh, NY. With the moon is the very bright planet, Venus, and just above Venus also shining brightly is the gas giant, Jupiter.
If anyone else happened to get a picture of this alignment please e-mail them to me at adirondackastronomer@gmail.com I would love to see your images.
Also if you happen to have clear skies on February 25th look for the Moon and Venus close by in the sky. Also keep your eyes open on February 26th for the Moon to pair up with Jupiter. Again, if you get any pictures of any of this please e-mail me the images. Would love to see and share your images.
