Venus passes Jupiter, part 5


What turned into an ice storm moved into southwest Virginia early Friday morning. The result for skywatchers was that the close approach of the two brightest planets was completely and utterly obscured by clouds. No conjunction for us! However, Saturday morning's scene was very pretty.

The shot above was taken at 6:35 a.m. Saturday, February 2. Venus is on the left.

Such is our view from Earth...
