Thanksgiving is already "history" but the star gazers among us enjoyed ourselves today at Dec 1 and even yesterday in the evening sky just after sunset: the three brightest objects in the night sky — Venus, Jupiter and a crescent moon — appeared closed together in Southern California.
This is a rare astronomical phenomenon. We won't see its kind for another 44 years.
My camera is of course not as good, but at least I was able to snap the photo from my back yard.
Use a pair of binoculars if you still have a chance on Dec 2. 08. It's was my ticket to the matinée !
