Four Planets and Crescent Moon Evening Conjunction - August 12-13, 2010
From late July through to late August, four planets have been visible in the evening sky. Venus, Mars and Saturn have been forming a triangle while Mercury has been a bit lower in the sky. It's been fantastic watching the planets each evening in the twilight glow. When they are joined by the Crescent Moon with earthshine visible it's going to be a unique visual and photographic experience for everyone - so make sure you head on out to take a look. The screenshots below show the expected view from mid-South latitudes, looking to the West.
