Friday night the young, crescent moon was underneath Jupiter and Venus, while yesterday night the moon had moved up to make a nice triangle with Jupiter and Venus. Tonight, the moon’s moved on. (As expected – celestial mechanics and all of that. If it hadn’t moved on, THAT would be news!)
Twilight, and the contrails are out as well.
The moon is getting more and more illuminated.
Yesterday the moon was even with Venus and made an approximate isosceles triangle – tonight it’s moved up and out by about 15°.
They’ve lovely, but by tomorrow night the moon will be another 15° higher and out of the picture – Venus and Jupiter will continue to move closer to each other.
For the record, the iPhone camera isn’t very good for this type of photography at all, compared to a good DSLR.
