The Moon, Venus and Jupiter

My dad called on Monday evening to say that my brother had called to tell him to check this cool alignment out.

I could see it to the west, above my house as I stood in the driveway. Venus is the one in the lower middle, and Jupiter is on the right. Through my binoculars, I could see the Galilean Moons.

I love when these kind of things happen out there. It’s a nice surprise to see these transitory patterns appear, forcing a second look. I wonder what, if anything, this might have signified in more primitive times.

In these times it is a nice reminder of the wonders one can see by doing nothing more difficult than looking up on a crisp autumn night.
