The Dance of the Planets in Taurus

The triangular conjunction of Jupiter (top), Venus (left) and Mercury (right) photographed this evening from Mount Ainslie, Canberra.

The next time we are graced with this triangular spectacle will be in October, 2015. The tightest formation of planets won't happen until 2050, when five planets will be close together.

Canon EOS 5D Mark III, Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM
0.6s f/2.8 at 200.0mm iso100

Larger version available here.

Thanks for looking!
