A Spectacular Planetary Show

December 2, 2008

Pictured above: Venus and Jupiter were visible near the moon Monday night about 6:00. Here, the two planets and the moon are pictured over the Walnut Hill water tower at Highway 97 and Arthur Brown Road. Neptune was also visible just out of the photo frame. You can see the same celestial show tonight in the southwest sky just after sunset. For the photo buffs: This was a seven second bulb exposure at 1600 ISO taken from Ernest Ward Middle School.
