Jupiter Venus Moon Pleiades and Hyades, June 18th

[StephenM]

Hi all,

Here's this morning's nice conjunction as viewed from Brisbane. It was a lovely cool (7 degrees) and clear morning, so I headed to a spot near the Brisbane River at Graceville to catch some conjunction reflections. Jupiter is highest in the sky, with Venus and the Moon below, flanked by the Pleiades (left) and Hyades (right) star clusters.

Thanks for looking!

Cheers,
Stephen

Nice work Stephen.

Thanks Dave http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=92252 for alerting us. Mind you it was rather chilly in Wollongong at that time of day.
